| newz2000 | hi qense | 17:40 |
| thorwil | hello qense, newz2000 | 17:41 |
| newz2000 | hey thorwil | 17:41 |
| newz2000 | thorwil: I like the third get ubuntu banner personally | 17:43 |
| newz2000 | mostly because it took me a moment to see what you were trying to do with the spiral | 17:43 |
| newz2000 | once I "got it" I liked 1 best but during that delay it was a bit disturbing. :-) | 17:44 |
| thorwil | newz2000: oohm, what am i trying to do with the spiral? :) | 17:44 |
| newz2000 | make the logo look like a ram's head and the spiral is the horns | 17:45 |
| newz2000 | arent you? | 17:45 |
| thorwil | not quite | 17:45 |
| thorwil | the logo is just the base of the horn | 17:46 |
| thorwil | yeah, number 1 surely has a "what's going on here" quality | 17:47 |
| newz2000 | I guess, after looking at it a moment more, I do have a criticism or suggestion... | 17:47 |
| newz2000 | the button calls people to action but I think it needs something that looks clickable | 17:48 |
| newz2000 | either underlined text like a hyperlink or a button | 17:48 |
| newz2000 | I had this problem with the download page. The green button didn't look clickable enough so people scrolled up and down looking for a button or link to click. | 17:48 |
| thorwil | i see. i was only concerned about continuing the series ... | 17:49 |
| thorwil | newz2000: btw, Arial is not just a knock-off of Helvetica, but one that is somewhat optimized to look good on screen. it is said to be of lesser quality than Helvetica specifically when printed | 17:52 |
| newz2000 | that would explain why I liked arial better than helvetica, since I primarily use screen when viewing fonts. | 17:56 |
| thorwil | newz2000: http://xs432.xs.to/xs432/08432/get_8_10_02879.png | 20:55 |
| newz2000 | hi thorwil, I don't think that makes it more clear | 20:57 |
| newz2000 | How about just removing the word get and making Ubuntu 8.10 look nice and pretty, then below that put (looking like a link) "get it now" | 20:57 |
| thorwil | newz2000: i don't think that will make a difference | 20:58 |
| newz2000 | give me just a min to finish merging my code, having trouble doing two things at once | 20:59 |
| newz2000 | thorwil: do you feel like the GET part causes the image to look clickable? | 21:03 |
| thorwil | newz2000: at least as clickable as dozens of other banners that seem to work | 21:04 |
| * nand likes 2A/C | 21:06 | |
| thorwil | newz2000: well, guess i will have another look at it myself, tomorrow with fresh eyes | 21:07 |
| newz2000 | ok | 21:07 |
| thorwil | good night! | 21:12 |
