Hello and thanks for your comments. <br><br>Concerning the seaside logo, i can not answer if seaside need to change or keep the existing one. <br>But
if we want to move on a logo like the one use in this proposal, i can
continue working on and submit proposals based on this one to get feedback and
modify it in consequences .
<br><br>Could you details a little bit more on which fonts and colors you want to adapt ? <br>I can make new proposals based on your remarks. <br><br>I have started to do something for the page inside but was waiting for comments on this design.
<br><br>Should you have any comments feel free to send it. <br><br>Thanks again, <br><br>Samuel <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/14/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael Davies</b> <<a href="mailto:mykdavies+squeak@gmail.com">

<br>oneself, so I'd like to start by thank you and Samuel for actually<br>trying these ideas out! I know what to look for in visual design but<br>have little creative ability myself...<br><br>Here's my comments:<br>
<br>I like the star idea - would it be better filled with a sandy yellow<br>so it looks more like a starfish? That would also give us two colours<br>to use as highlight colours on the rest of the page (like <a href="http://python.org">
python.org</a>,<br><a href="http://flickr.com">flickr.com</a>, and existing <a href="http://seaside.st">seaside.st</a>). To me, the star looks 'wonky' -<br>does it look better upright?<br><br>But this raises the question of whether it is intended that the
<br>"seaside+star" logo be *the* logo for Seaside? The existing<br>"waves+sun+seaside" logo is pretty nice - is it clear that it's not<br>working for us?<br><br>If we do want to replace it, it would be useful to think about some of
<br>the other usages of a logo before committing to a final design:<br>How will the logo be used as a standalone image (eg on the wikipedia<br>page) - what colors will be used? Just the star, or seaside+star with<br>a transparent background?
<br>How will the logo be used with extra text for buttons on other pages?<br>(eg there's useful space at the top left for "powered by" or "made<br>with" etc, and at the bottom right for "2.0" or "inside") - it would
<br>be useful to have a couple of samples, using a widely available font<br>so that people can make their own if required.<br><br>On the page design generally I like the layout and use of the space,<br>though there's a lot of different colours and a few different families
<br>of fonts used - I think cutting down on both would give a cleaner<br>look. I'd also be interested to see a mockup of one or two of the<br>detail pages to see how the look translates to the rest of the site -<br>what navigation elements remain, how much of the content is available
<br>from each page etc.<br><br>I hope that this feedback is of use to you,<br>Michael<br>_______________________________________________<br>Seaside mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Seaside@lists.squeakfoundation.org">Seaside@lists.squeakfoundation.org
