I don't like the new QB64 forum logo...

[Pete]

@ Mark, I lie the transparent effect, too. Maybe a bit less background though?

@ Jack, I liked the old logo too, but branding changes over time. I'm even thinking of modifying my avatar... maybe a BIGGER hat?

Don't lie too much... ;)

Now you're talk'n! :D

[Qwerkey]

Maybe a bit less background though?
Pete

A good suggestion from Pete.

[Bert22306]

Finicky guys! I like the new logo, and I also like its sci-fi-inspired background, flying through some foreboding magnetic storm in the Delta Quadrant. I say, keep it as is.

[Ashish]

I am thinking somebody (Ashish?) could make a 3D spinning QB64 cube with the Forever background. Ashish already has a nice one in 3D OpenWorld Mountains: https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1139.15

Maybe for the next version. ;-))

I do like like the transparent layering, kind of symbolic of QB64's development and works.

You will need additional images file for program to run.
@Cobalt : The program also shows using texture on cube in an easy way. Hope it helps.

That was fun to watch, thanks Ashish! :-)

[bplus]

Ashish, you nailed it! Nice job!

I am using it for avatar, hope you don't mind.

Just out of curiosity could the blue background on cube be made slightly transparent?

[Ryster]

In my humble opinion, the new logo is nicer than the previous one.
Greetings.

[Jack002]

@ Mark, I lie the transparent effect, too. Maybe a bit less background though?

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

@ Jack, I liked the old logo too, but branding changes over time. I'm even thinking of modifying my avatar... maybe a BIGGER hat?

Pete

The word branding comes from what they did to cows. You burn it in once, it never changes. :)


Ashish, Wow, that is so impressive! I can't believe this is basic

[Cobalt]

@Cobalt : The program also shows using texture on cube in an easy way. Hope it helps.

Thanks Ashish.


Sorry guys but I really don't care for the new logo. BASIC should be simple and I just don't get that from the new logo. It does look nice though, personally just don't care for it. Maybe it will grow on me?

[Pete]

@Ashish: Tell Mark he can't use it, because I need it, well, if you can make it stop rotating. I need a nice big block fur my av-ee-tar to stand on, to make him taller!

Thanks. You can use it freely. I made the "blue" background transparent. You can control the extent of transparency from line 18.

Wow Ashish, amazing! Thanks

[Pete]

I've mellowed in my older age, but I think I'm going to have to go back in time. I actually wanted to post the new logo would look better with a transparent background, and WOW, some 1 of 3 tried that idea out, and it looks GREAT! Sorry I didn't recommend it in the first place. Also, you may want to consider always having a release message next to it, because that looks amazing, too.

Nice work guy(s),

Pete
