My fovorite right there. Though I have to say, it is hard to make a choice, let alone think of some valueable input...

I like it because it has 'speed' and direction in it. The tilted stripes give it a certain movement, fitting of a board about a racing game. The letters give a 'technical' feeling as well. I think that also fits the board, as we have been dissecting this game for over 15 years and pretty much know all about it. At last the 'since 1998' and the colors give it a bit of a retro look. All in all, that is pretty much all we need right?

The razorback fish with CWA is awesome but I somehow see it hard to fit in a header. But you already said that also. The example you gave, with the triangles, just isn't it for me. Too much space between the 'teeth' make it look empty, perhaps even a bit 'cheap'. And somehow having the logo centered, even when I look at the current logo, now looks odd to me...

Oh and tosh, these logo's are pretty wickid. It really shows your profession, the way you handle these!

I'm with Harm, I'm liking this one too. I like that it features cool little pics of some great mods.

Im gona come and say.. I like the more directinal one rather than the triangles.. Looks more like caution stripe things so yeah.

My question,
Would the little images in the top be random? like on toshes site and such so its not the same every time,

I meant to say the fish with the CWA mouth is pretty darn funny. You actually made it work. I did try to do a quick sketch and realized it was harder than I thought to pull off.

I'm going to agree with the others on this one - the design and colors seem to be just right.
Just try to use your nifty CWA piranha in it first and don't forget to fit Carmageddon Webmasters Alliance under CWA so newbies will know!

I agree with everyone, that is certainly the best design, I'm just not a fan of that font. Exchange that with the piranha with the CWA inscribed in it's mouth and it'd be absolutely PERFECT.

It's logo time, Freunde!

Image
Where is your god now? That'd be a movie I'd totally see being opened by Les Baxter - Wheels (as seen in the header mockups).

Thanks for the feedback on the previous postings.
It seems like the MagnaChem logo is the favourite so far, but I decided to go on with CoffeyCup's CWA-Piranha idea one more time.

Maxine: Not sure yet, maybe they could be random pics from a selection or then simply the latest visuals selected by mods.
Alex: Yeah, I'll definitely have to put the whole line somewhere in the end.
cArmAkAze: I see what you mean, but I can't mix both approaches together, they would weaken one-another. One is more into "signs", references from the game (despite the piranha as background). The other one is straight-forward illustration. It's one or the other :)

Here's an header idea based on the thing above. Also other Piranha versions. Now that I look at it I think the pointy serifs in the C should be a bit wider.

Yeah, the three logos in a triangle, I think top center is most legible. 'brushstroke' version works too.

I'd be happy with any of these top navigations you've done Tosh. I do think the random swapped images could be cool. Maybe they're set up so their positions interchangable? Thinking out loud.

Hey Coffeycup, yes I definitely will change the header. I just have close to zero free time lately :sad:
This is why I'm silent and all... I'll be back in a week or two :)

Sorry for the time it took.
I decided to put the narrow theme (with the Magnachem CWA) as default, but added the Piranha CWA one as well, and brought back Oldschool CWA. There's a quick theme switch in the footer of every page.
If some things look screwed at first, try to hit F5 a couple of times to refresh the page.

I also implemented the images in the header. I couldn't do what I wanted at first, so this will show the last posted pics in the C1/C2 forum and devWAM.
We'll see how it goes, haven't tested it much at all. If needed I can shrink it down to one-last-pic-per-post (or something like that) or open it to other forums.

Guests can change their style too if they want.
Once again, if there's any problem, let me know :)

Nice job, Tosh! :scool: That's a great Idea with having 3 different styles one can quickly switch between! I like that you even kept an old school style, of which is extra wide! Extra useful!

uhhh.. wat

Not sure what's up with the formatting my end but Chrome shouldn't be running into issues, surely.

CWA-Piranha and Oldschool both display fine.

Goddamnit, the header pics don't update correctly. Don't know why it takes these older pictures instead of the last ones.
It should be looking for the latest IMG tag in the forums.
Seems like I'll have to find an alternative.

Glad you guys like it :)
The header will now only show the first IMG tag of the last posts (to prevent a single post flooding the header). It updates on its own. And important point: it will only look for IMG tags and thus attachments aren't included :(

Ah well... the great 2013 face lifting is finally done?! :grin:

D_B: I've modified the cwa-narrow style to adapt a bit to window widths under 1075px.
Can you check it out? You'll maybe have to F5 the page one or two times to clear the cache.

There's also the cwa-piranha theme which fits by default in 960 width.

[edit] Added "mark edited as unread" mod. Testing...
[edit2] Seems like it's working :ssmile:
Should only mark the topic as unread when it's the last post that's been edited though.

1 year bump...

Worked on the narrow (default style) some more to make it a bit better for mobile browsers. So if CWA looks a bit broken just refresh the page to clear your browser's cache.
I didn't try to turn the whole board in a mobile ready thing, just make browsing easier :)

I've got narrow selected but doesn't look like screenshot on my iPhone. Looks as it always has. No big deal, just sayin'. Maybe I don't know how to clear browser cache on my phone?
