Mission Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 In the spring you should make the skull's pupils a flower (like a Brady Bunch flower) and make the bg tint light yellow; in the summer, you should make the pupils suns (really dopey ones with spiky rays like an 8 year old would draw) and make the bg tint light green; and in fall you should make the pupils leaves and the tint rust colored. Either that or just leave it icicles and blue tint all year round and pretend you never saw this post. (Personally, I don't get the tint. It doesn't make intuitive sense.)

Coastie04 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Or, keep it just as is, but get rid of the icicles and replace the snow with rain. Maybe change the blue tint to grey. That should suffice until it's time to put the icicles out again, at least in my local! Coastie She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail

Really? That is so Greatful Dead of you. . . Actually the original idea was to theme the site, or at least the logo to holidays or the seasons but Google does such a better job. . . . (Personally, I don't get the tint. It doesn't make intuitive sense.) . . . this is where I get to pretend I didn't read your post and decide not to explain myself further.
Mission Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 You should definitely work on themed holiday banners. Make them interactive like Google, too. But first you might want to think about fixing the emoticons. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Stynky Tudor Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Damn, I just saw the logo on a different monitor and that blue tint is bright! My bad, it was meant to be subtle. I mean it's not like I don't have enough computers around here to test on. I don't know about making it interactive. . . but I had always thought about some sort of simple, low bandwidth cost animation. In any case I'll put that on my list along with the emoticons and the multi-player wist game.

Mission Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 I really think he should change it each day to honor every random thing that pops up on the calendar. (You know, like Google.) And it should be amusing and interactive and make us money and maybe cure cancer. Maybe. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

Stynky Tudor Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Eye would love to see Patrick Hands CANDIE character holding flowers as a Banner for Valentines Day. I'd love to see CANDIE for Valentines Day too. . . oh wait, you mean as the Pub Logo.

Coastie04 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 You know, I'm a little disappointed with the Google logos. They didn't even have a banner for Trafalgar Day in the UK google for the 200th anniversary! Of course, if the Pub did that, then they'd automatically be better than Google...

Mission Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Just have the contest. Isn't being at the head of the bestest Pyrate Reenacting forum reward enough? You should probably create some guidelines, though. Otherwise... Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

Ransom Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I like the idea of submissions, just so you would have the honor of hearing, "And the winner is.........(insert your name here)!" Maybe a different one each month? But if we use Patrick's character Stinky, then do it during the summer when we can open all the windows. Remeber what effect he had on Port Royal? Nuf said. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

Mission Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 If I weren't so attached to my current quote, I'd put that one in my sig. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Stynky Tudor Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 You should just do it - you're over due for a change.
Mission Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Nah, I love my current quote. It's a favored fictional hero, INTJness and piracy combined.
