Feedback wanted - Preliminary look at Version 3 of website

this is the real problem when you throw something like this out to the masses. :oops: :lol:
I find the "star" logo difficult to read,
I really like the Avqest, but I dont know if this is the place for it ?!?
The "Meal" logo is celtic looking, would it be possible to space the letters out abit more, I dont think the colours suit it...

Hang on a second, why are we bothering with
" www.irishastronomy.org "
shouldn't the top of the page be
"IFAS - Irish Federation of Astronomical Societies"
or something along those lines
I dont think the sites address is that important.

A lot of work done there Bart!

If the green tone of Orion is not to any one's liking, may I suggest replacing it with a real picture of Orion :idea: Just like an avatar :
I have one no probs there.....
Just my 2 cents..............

Hi all,

Good bit of work going on here- good to see. Keep 'em coming. I've been up to my eyes in club stuff but for now I can offer a few insights into logo design, oddly enough taken from a book on logos...

1) Logo should tell a story- a good logo should offer some insight into not only the activity of a corporation, but the ethos and story behind the company.

2) Logo should work across all media- from business cards to building size posters, to websites and 3D.

3) The logo should work in colour and black and white (not greyscale). Gradients are never a good idea or similar adjacent tones. Pixel based images (photos) are almost certainly out.

They aren't bad guidelines and god knows I've bent them myself. When I'm stuck for a bit of inspiration I have a look here...

Some food for thought... Have fun!

I must say, trevors logo looks great. I also have to admit, I dont like the star trek font used in past ifas logos.

Also I do like websites which are primarily white, (though you'd never know that looking at my site ). Just a personal preference.

I would prefer Trevors font too. Maybe drop the www. and a capital letter I would make it even cleaner.

Alright folks, here's the next version for your comment, notice how little green there is and how little of the Star Trek font there is to be seen!

Bart.
