So, still, I can't work on DOOM maps, thx goes to my dead gfx-card, so I thought about finally another design for my Realm667, Revision 6 to be more precise (yes the logo tells v5 but this is just a type). Currently I started to get well known to Mambo, a PHP CMS, and I am also already working on a new design. Here is a small logo, so you get an idea.

I will deliver more WIP shots here, so maybe some of you can give feedback or ideas, how to improve what I've got so far ;)

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for here, aside that this is a pretty logo :) as you provide those wips maybe I'll get a better idea of feedback.

So far, the only suggestion I'd suggest is to make the page of 2 frames, one with context, other with the menu, so the menu stays on the side of the page and I don't have scroll up to reach it.

Thx Paul, right now it's just the logo but you can already see what's behing this all, the style of the design you know :) Conc. the 2frames thing, I'm not sure if this makes sense, as the CMS isn't based of frames... but I will see if there are other solutions so you dont have to scroll

I knew when I read the title of this thread that the first line would start something like "As I can't edit for doom..." :P

However, I can't comment as these are imageshack images, and it appears peergaurdian has made it's triumphant return, and choked my internet access once again.

Looks like torm died and went to the 60's.

This doesn't sound like a good critique :( Does it look bad?

Well it's not particulary bad - in technical terms. I suppose it would be a bit of aproblem for me to do something like that.
But it's just fruitcake - I mean, flowers? In doom? Make peace not doom? This looks like T667 was smoking too much.

I would suggest using some other object than these flower shaped splashes.

Well, sure, flowers on Doom would be a bit strange, but this page isn't just doom related, so why not? Beyond... when I added these things, I ddin't know in particular, that these are flowers... I just used these shapes because they looked nice somehow :) Nevertheless, I will keep them, maybe my alternate design for my page will have something different ;)

At least they are not stars ;) would make the site look like a 60's disco.

Nah, that'd be more like an early 70's disco.

The design is very "flower power" though. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. In fact I quite like it. I also like the hint of Doom floor texture in there which is a nice contrast to the "hippy" feel of it.

Groovy baby!

It's too orange...I liked the old cyan-on-grey style better, personally.

I have one suggestion: don't use FrontPage to make your site, use some WYSIWYG editor that follows html standards, or do it yourself in notepad ;).

@Grubber - Don't worry, I will use Dreamweaver for the Designtemplates and Mambo itself to produce the content (this is a PHP/MySQL CMS)

Request 1: Make it not slow.
The way it looks now it'll eat a minute or so before displaying properly.
Request 2: Make it not require a certain browser or minimum monitor resolution.
