After discussing with Priz and Spin, I have decided to make the thread here. Would you like having the wiki homepage be made up of the logos of the games. It would look like this:

If this is good, we will start working on it. If not, bye bye. :)

Please write your opinions or vote in this poll http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97155!

Thanks,

I like them all but the VMK one. It looks out of place

3 good, none bad.

Also, this is not final, just a presentation of what could come. We need a more horizontal VMK logo, but where could you get that?

Hi Carioca! How are you? I see you looking at this thread!

Yeah, the VMK one does look out of place. All the rest are long rectangles, while VMK is just a strange rectangle that doesn't look like it should belong there. But, I think it looks good.

I might make a bar for VMK if you would like me to. :)

I think the pictures need more blending into the background, until then I don't like it. I don't have PS loaded to make the pictures blend in, either.

Before being considered I would suggest aligning the logos so that they are symmetrical.

As to your question about joining TTC, you can or we can post a thread referring the editors here.

Agreed. Looks Kinda Plain, doesn't it? If you could Find a backround that looks good with all the logos, then you can blend the logos Into the backround.

Water could help if you wanted, but I suggest asking someone with more skills in photoshop than me. Perhaps Foxyshadow or allowasas.

Thanks Spin. This was just a quick, fast picture to get the idea.

Great! I will contact you if this is go! :)

Nice pic:) We could use that if this is go :)

Neither do I, if we want to do this, we will have it done by more professionally. :)

I like it, but the TTO logo needs to have a background that belnds in with the white...otherwise, it looks a bit odd.

Don't like them arranged like that. Have them all regtangular then try..

One image at the top, two images on the row below, two below that, then one at the bottom. It will centralize them all more. And it would be also better to make them all along the same color. But not sure which.
But sure, images better than text.

We will definitely work on that. Be sure to help us with that Stitch! :)

Thanks for your opinion :)

Hey Spin and Priz! You see this? We are most likely going to do this. :)
Everyone! Please check this poll http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97155 and vote!

Not trying to burst yuor bubble but you need to work on the layout first before making such assumptions. Also, the TTC side hasn't had a chance to look yet.

Most of the wiki editors agree that for it to be considered it has to blend more, be symmetrical, and also each logo should be similar. You may have to photoshop them to achieve that.

I don't really like it. I like the current homepage.

I will get help from alowasas and foxy. We will try to get a new version for everyone to look at shortly.

As for TTC, I made an account but can not post yet as I am waiting for moderation of my account.

I like the idea of an image-based home page, but the design needs work.

Actually, you know what? My bookmark for the Wiki is set at the VMK section (http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Vmk), so I'll never see this page anyway. So I guess it doesn't matter to me what it looks like. :)

Better, but still not terribly exciting. Still just a bunch of logos.

Um, please remove those doodles. I did not ask you to make those and others might mistake that as a final. We have assembled a team and are working on a final right now.

They are just trying to be helpful -.-, and I doubt anyone would assume those were the final draft if they read the entire thread.

I restored doodles' photos as they should be considered as well. I like the integrated background with the site logos not in rectangular format. Although I don't think that two VMK logos are necessary :)

Any more suggestions or mock-ups can be posted and considered. All ideas are good to see so that we can see different points of view. SHOULD (and I emphasize that) we decide to change the DOW home page it will probably be as a result of several ideas integrated together.

Nah, I don't care for it much myself. I'd prefer the front page to look more like a real wikipedia page. You know, with an article/picture of the day and such.
