Hello Evilzone.
Many of you already know this, but we (staff) have been working on a redesign and new features for Evilzone.
So it is only fair for you guys to comment on the current ideas. After all, you are the ones who have to see and use this.
Here is a image of the current concept design: http://evilzone.org/downloads/concept0006.PNG
Please leave a comment of what you think. Do criticize but be reasonable and come with ideas for improvement, it is much easier for us to fix things if you tell us what is wrong rather than just pointing out the fact that its wrong.
-
any reasons for the redesign? Just out of interest.
I think it looks really good, the banner is better than the one there with the equation we have at the moment.
you should put */Hacking and security/* in a cooler font :D

I am not particularly satisfied with the current look of this place. Thats why we want to redesign. It is also a part of a new system and new features.

Seems lame Ande. Now, don't take offence but the page looks like it is for some office website.
While the first impression is good it will get old Very quickly.
This current one is bright black, it doesn't get old.
Now, the irc tab. Will it be just address or is it a script .....?
The logo is good but the hacking and security must come under it not to it's right... Seems just off...
Anyhow this was me giving my opinion please do not take offence.. I know you guys must've worked hard for it.
-
Too bright, make it darker :P
What will the forum theme look like?
Also too plain, there's not enough text, pics, etc around the main area.
-
Its ok but thought i would be better than current deign. I love the current design
-
how about a bar small bar at the bottom like securityoverride has?
there you could have a quake line terminal poping up with irc
under the menu is the content. in my oppinion the content souldent be the same color
is the menu a js drop down or just links?
some more grapics in the top would be nice, some suttle abstract background maby?
just my 2cents
-
ande, can you please upload the image in some different way?
I try to open it in the browser or download it, but it does not let me. A few kb get downloaded and it stops and keeps loading forever. All other websites are working perfectly for me, so I don't think it is my connection, and I tried it in 3 different browsers.
Or in fact can anyone else who has the pic upload it on some pic hosting site and send me a PM with a link?
I have no idea why the picture appears corrupt to me. Tried it on two OS'es, 3 browers. Might be corrupt router firewall config files or something.
-
Why don't we keep the colors like it is now? the logo is very nice :)
-

Use wget.
-
Current design is better. I personally think its too bright, maybe using the current themes colour would be better. Any chance of getting to see some other screenshots, rather hard to get a feel for the new site with only a preview of the first page.
-
Yes, it is way too bright. Dark gray, ugh... that stings in my eyes!
-
I think it looks better like this:

Very nice, I like it :) and the one provided by TRAiN3R is also nice

I dont know where you got that from :P Its not supposed to be public just yet, but oh well. Its one of the earlier design ideas.
I will start a new topic related to this one: Evilzone design competition (http://evilzone.org/general-discussion/evilzone-design-competition/new/).
-
I like the new concept, everyone else seems to not like the grey body but I don't mind. I wouldn't have used that other design TRAiN3R showed lol it would get old FAST xD I don't really like the bar at the bottom of SecurityOverride either but it's whatever, if I wanted to navigate the site with a terminal though, I would have used links or something lol
-
i liked the design in op

Dosent look too bad actually. Ill keep it in mind. Might work on this tonight.

Been working on the idea for a few hours today/night.
A bit of a different direction ofrom the original one: http://i49.tinypic.com/vovsd5.png (http://i49.tinypic.com/vovsd5.png)

Way batter.. Yet the logo and motto do not go well together... Here is an idea if you like it...
How about you wrote hacking at the logo top and security at bottom and the right and left arms of logo can have " AND " written?
Just a suggestion..
colour is better.. Though it lacks green.. What is a hacking website without a touch of green? Especially when GREEN and EVIL go together?

Damn this looks so much nicer. I love it, really.
-
Looks very nice mate. It's got a Google like feel to it. Very clean and direct. No nonsense.
-
Thanks guys, but I am not 100% satesfied with it just yet. So comments for improvements are very much welcome.

tryed out gimp animations and came up with this logo
http://i50.tinypic.com/wwae6c.gif
(http://i50.tinypic.com/wwae6c.gif)
its on repeat now but thougt it would maby be better only looping once
and the top of the page maby something like this?

Awesome! Black and green seem to be the hacker colours. Like the matrix or something. I think that's the colour scheme the really old comps used too. Green text on black BG.

The animation is nice, but I think that if we use it, it should loop only once after a page load and should stop at a full gray logo. The green ez middle is too eye catching when everything else is gray.
Very nice though. +1 for the effort mate.
-
I dont think we will be doing any animations, they are always of poor quality and are generally just annoying. But that other style of yours was interesting. I did some work on that. Here is the results:

-
That one ^ is the best so far. I know not everyone else likes it but I like the idea of /* something in between the comments */
I also don't think the green is necessary. Sure, green and black looks cool but it's kind of.....skiddyish?
-
No. Green is definitely not skiddish. Green is just a color. Colors are abstract.
-

i really liked that one :)
insted of the hash like text under the menu maybe some wise quote? (maby even one that changes once a day :P)
i would have preffered some more colors like green but thats just me.
some kind of background maybe or atleast some image
and i have to agree that we sould have the "/* Hacking and Security */" with the logo
good work :)
-
Digging that flashing logo....though I agree it shouldn't be going all the time because it will trip me out and cause some sort of distraction when im trying to read, like my IRC is flashing right now and i cant see anything but that....dammit >.<
@ande, I like the look with the darker colors. It fits my eyes very well :)
though maybe instead of having stats at the bottom like we do now, we could some sort of bar on the side that has the new posts etc. with the option for each user to have it on/off depending on their tastes. Maybe do it in green, same color as that flashing logo. Have it look kind of like the rainmaker skin for jarvis or w/e. http://creativx.net/forums/attachments/rainmeter/25663d1294218382-ironman-jarvis-rainmeter-skin-ironman.jpg
see how its very simple, just a dot then a drop down sorta menu? something along those lines, very clean and a darker green. have it structured like:
o----posts
---new
---most active //these are the dropdowns if clicked.
o----stats
o----online users
and each one can be clicked on for an expanded menu. then a prominent time piece would be nice on the opposite side, something that shows the forum time and what time zone that is so I don't have to keep looking it up...also with an on/off feature.
Also, i didn't see a search function in that picture? Please tell me that will still be included... :P
Just my thoughts, do with it as you will. I know it's a lot of work to redo this all, so only do these if you have time/energy. Thanks for doing all this ande + satan911 (assuming your helping) :)

That's awesome. Love the concept
-
Please, add the EZ equation somewhere. It's simply awesome. And one does not simply remove awesome things from awesomeness. That equation makes EZ unipue. Maybe you can add it above that /* line with transperancy or something. and I hate it that I'm watching all these pics in 240x320 phone. :(

From you silly ;)
We were hoping to finish loads of things this summer, including various security systems, server management stuff and the Alpha project (for those who know what that is). But none of these have been finished by lack of time and money.
Just put 2 and 2 together ;)

Me gusta the second one.
-
Definitely the second one. The first one looks like a default template of some free blog provider.
-
hmm
I like the blue color, the login bar at the top and the EvilZone text from the second one
the rest of the layout feels old. seen it around the internet 100 times, get a feeling from a blog or something
the only thing i like from the second one is the /* HACKING AND SECURITY */ text that dossent allready exist on in my opinion the best so far the one you posted before (http://i46.tinypic.com/fuhwj.png)
so maybe have to one you posted before (http://i46.tinypic.com/fuhwj.png) add the color and evilzone text from the second and the /* */ from the first
something like
(http://s10.postimage.org/61y9cxo39/ggg.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/61y9cxo39/)
feels like somethings missing

I agree with Relax, but I'm not quite so sure about the blue color...Perhaps a darker shade?

The last pic seems just about right, but for some reason I feel like its missing a slight touch of something....
-
noticed that you dont have and text at the top with the loggo...
did uyou forget or was it consciously? ether way good job :)
-
Alright. More work has been done.
Unless an unusual amount of people complain about this and we do not get any better submissions for the competition within a few weeks. We are running with this design:

I like it. Nice work.

Boring *yawn*
The current one is far better than that

wtf are you taking about?
what do you want it to look like haven't seen any contributions from you
@ande it looks great really just the terminal color needs a change
-
I like them all. But sticking with colors similar to what we have now should be default. Is there a way to change the color based on our preffs?

That's actually a really good idea, being able to change that blue depending on personal preference would be nice since I still don't feel like the blue fits hahaha
Other than our color differences, I love it ande :)
-
I've asked ande to allow for customization by just uploading same theme different colours and allowing different choices. Was told no...
Anyways, theme could use improvements to the colour and the logo, You could have it say EVILZONE then that EZ logo but having just that logo looks out of place(but you have to move other things as well..). The light gray/white or w.e colour it is is out of place as well. Just a few things I'd critique as I told you. But thats also my oppinion seems people enjoy it.

Fuck yes

well you could add the feature to modify your own css or just use a addon that allows you to

This. As I learnt from another website, it is a pain in the ass doing that in a safe way.
However, you could make some things like background or font color configurable.
-
I like pretty much all of the different designs, but I'd like to be able to change to color scheme to my own preference. There's no way to do that?

5 pages of suggestions and discussions, we want results. When we will see the new design? :)

Not for a long time, this is not design for a SMF theme or something like that. This is the design of the new (from-scratch developed by EZ staff), which wont be done for a while.

Yes. Color is the only thing I care about. Adjusting to what doesn't hurt my eyes. Images and layouts and all are not that important to me, the data/knowledge in the site are important though. As long as we have quality posts/members/stuff I really can care less about the ascetics.
May be a stupid question, but will all threads and posts be migrated over to the new site? On my next day off, I'm going to get into PHP to maybe help with dev. If PHP is what is being used.
-
Bla bla bla.

Users and posts will be migrated. PHP is the obvious choice here, perhaps you could help out. But I suggest you learn a bit first hehe.

i like alpha but its not like ima be there

I have looked into PHP before, but work ATM has me bogged down. PHP doesn't seem a whole lot different than what I'm used to, just haven't done excessive amounts of web dev. We shall see how it unfolds.

Why not offer a couple of user selected color themes, since others seems to prefer this color over that? Other sites do it, shouldn't be too difficult.
