ANNOUNCEMENT : new look for BC

**CoolDoo6** · 05-25-2007, 03:41 PM

WOA !!! I was away for a few days cos I was busy and BANG!!! BC turned totally, well whats the word, erhm 70's. Well, ok, ok, the desinger is doing it for free. But I just can't help stating what hits my eyes. The BC of 2 designs ago was definitely more manly and impactful with its solid definitions. The pastels are a bit too "nice". This gives one the urge to powder one's nose

the only colour i don't really like is the pale green on the left side panel that runs down the length of the thread, otherwise i'm liking the change.

Looks much better than the standard Vb theme.

The overall new look is nice. The background on the header could definitely use a replacement, as others have said. If you really want to take a picture yourself, Kwun, it would be cool and more original. However, if you don't want to go through the hassle, it'd be easier to just tint a good picture you find.

I find the colors a little too light. They somewhat draw you away from the main part of the site. I like phaarix's scheme a little better, as there's more of a crispness to it.

i saw phaarix suggestion. i think i agree with putting the ads on the right hand side. it looks better i think. and i do love the current blue and orange theme. i guess the green is a bit, and i quote "makes me want to powder my nose". but because i am a girl, it's an ok feeling. but for the guys, maybe they will question their inner self. he he he he he he. just kidding.

haha. to tell you the reasons behind the color. the green and blue are both "real" colors that i sampled from badminton gyms. the green as you see look quite similar to the green floormats that are used commonly in tournaments, and the blue i sampled it from yet another gym floor. the orange however was created by me to balance the color out a bit.

i believe using real world sampled color is quite meaningful as a badminton website, and we cannot deny that badminton is quite commonly associated with the green and blue.

Awesome job Kwun!!! i am loving this new out look!!! its great!!!!

**chickenpoodle** · 05-26-2007, 01:58 AM

a suggestion could be using a base colors of greens for the tables, and for the headers and breaks, we use black or white (for court lines), and then fill in the rest of the colors as needed, making the thread layouts similar to that of courts themselves.

otherwise, the new look gives it an overall fresh feel, and its welcomed.

whoa, this is major change!
So far so good

**winstonchan** · 05-26-2007, 08:38 PM

I don't like the pic/banner background pic on the very top of the page. looks strectched and compressed at the same time.

**Kimmysolucious** · 05-27-2007, 02:51 PM

Thank Kwun for everything

**Linus** · 05-27-2007, 08:46 PM

Thanks Kwun for the refreshing look.

One comment though, the topic title/header colour (yellow) does not really stand out from the pale blue backgound strip. But this is not important and overall the colour scheme looks very cool.
