PRETTY METRO 2033 ANYONE? Uh, well, actually this is a bit pointless to put in suggestions as it's more like I'M looking for suggestions but this seemed the best place to put something like this. Any way, I'm making a pretty skin for you all! I'm bored and I find coding enjoyable. What I wanted to know was if you guys had any preferences or things that you liked or wanted on a forum? Obviously, the final say is going to be up to Joe and whether he likes it or not but he's not good with ideas -cough-. SO tell me what you want! Oh and just as a sneak peak: Click here!This is the new logo, already approved! Took a few hours to get this just right and I'm actually pretty proud of it, I hope you like it as well!

Metro has an orange/red glow to it. I think the font should replicate its color, maybe even the entire image. I like all of it except for one thing, the robot eye thingy.
Other then that, the helmet and the bare hands seem a bit off to me, for the helmet I can say that because its a bit big and takes up a lot of space, so a distraction and for the hand, it looks very skinny and just plain odd.
The loose wires are also a bit off putting.
But don't mind my pessimism, its a work of art!

Joe hates red so you're out of luck there and if you find a better picture of a someone wearing a gasmask please send it to me. Though they are plenty, there are very few good ones. The hand was part of the model and the "robot" eye is actually just the type of gasmask he's wearing. Not trying to replicate being robot! Wires were again part of the model and if you have a better one in mind, I'm sure I'd have no trouble redoing it. The size of the helmet seems more like a great pause between the two words and I think helps with the general feel of emptiness and a bit of an echo.
We're working with a more desolate feel to Metro 2033 instead of what they are trying to portray in the pictures of the game that are meant to be a struggle or battle; basically more action then we have here (as they ARE trying to sell a video game). At least this is sort of the feel that I get from what Joe wants as he wanted something gray/black/white and actually didn't want any color at all.
What I need more is what sort of gadgets do you want? I've seen all kinds of things for the side tables like word counters, helpful links, and pretty much anything that you think might help the site grow.

The irony is that his right-hand man has a red avatar lol. I can give you tons upon tons of images heheh.
Gadgets? Hmm, well one nifty thing I love is the New Topics tab so don't even consider touching it! Maybe an option for a user to have a link to his character(s) somewhere beneath his avatar? I'm not very innovate, it took my RP several months to lay ground rules.

More like joe should say in the character creation instruction thread that everyone should do it.
