Another thing. I have this small gripe with the Dead Rising header.

Can you edit out the little brown pixels at the bottom of the image, inside the circle I have marked there?

Here's an idea for another frontpage header:

This, but without the logo.

Basically, all of Cave's games are material for frontpage headers.

What I am thinking is that, if I end up redesigning the site, the best option would be try and pick a template which would allow me to keep the headers unchanged. The more I think about it the more it seems to me that that should be the number 1 criterion in the selection of the template.

Thanks.

Considering your idea for a new header:

by **icycalm** » 15 Dec 2010 21:50

Not sure which one I prefer. I picked the first one for now. I'll leave it up for a few days and perhaps try the others later. Thanks!

New Ibara header, if you like:

Uploaded! Can never have too many of those.

Two new variations of the insomnia logo: a small modification of the golden one to make it look a little more like gold, and a new green outline that could be used for games like Spacewar!

I am not a big fan of the gold one, but the other one is awesome! Perhaps you could experiment with blues/yellows/whites and the like? I am not a big fan of green, and I don't think it goes very well with the rest of the site's color scheme...

by **ronan** » 07 Jan 2011 19:44

Maybe I should look how the gold logo looks on other screens... (I had PNG colorimetry issues with Recap in the past.)

The second logo was green in order to try to remind of old screens like the one of the PDP-1. Nothing easier than to change the color, though:

Do you have a preference?

by **ronan** » 07 Jan 2011 20:38

Different kinds of gradient are also possible...

by **icycalm** » 08 Jan 2011 15:17

Great, I'll try them out in some of the older reviews.

And jeez, I really have to get around to uploading all that stuff...

by **icycalm** » 10 Jan 2011 14:37

Could you make a Cave banner? I would like to start making "Company" pages with a short bio, a chronology of titles released, and links to whatever games we've so far reviewed, and I am going to start with Cave.

by **ronan** » 10 Jan 2011 17:18

Fine. Just a question in order not to lose time. The Cave logo will be on a background; so would you prefer as a background:
- just some kind of color gradient,
- an explosion,
- a collage of in-game graphics,
- a collage of official artworks,
- or just one official artwork?

by **icycalm** » 10 Jan 2011 17:24

I've actually already made the page, and will be posting it on the frontpage in a moment:

The urgent thing is a thumbnail... I am trying to make one with the Cave logo (with just the "C", not the name...) but I cannot seem to find a "C" large enough. So if you can help there I would appreciate.

As for the header... For the time being I've put all your non-logo game-specific headers on rotation, and I think that looks great... So there's no need to make another header if you don't have a particularly good idea. If you do come up with one, try it out. But don't ask me for ideas for I don't have any currently...

by **icycalm** » 10 Jan 2011 17:30

Actually, I think I will go with a screenshot for the thumbnail. Probably this:

EOJ will hit the roof again, lol.

Too late, but:

by **icycalm** » 11 Jan 2011 13:16

Actually, I prefer this to the screenshot. I used it, but if you can also try one with the regular color scheme, that'd be great. Or perhaps mess around with the angle? Enlarging and rotating the "C" so that it won't quite fit in the image?

by **icycalm** » 11 Jan 2011 14:46

Actually, you might as well not bother. What we already have is awesome as it is.

by **ronan** » 11 Jan 2011 15:00

Too late...

by **icycalm** » 12 Jan 2011 02:37

I rather prefer the other one right now. But I might find a use for this too somewhere else...

From two artworks by Shinkiro:

Shin Samurai Spirits

I can edit the hair in the top right part if you like.

Metal Slug X

This artwork was used for the PSX port. I don't know if it was already done for the original version. If you like, I can try to edit the face of Marco so that one can see his both eyes.

by **icycalm** » 02 Mar 2011 20:27

The second is not good enough to go on the frontpage I am afraid. The first I already uploaded. Thanks.
