J1nx, just some creative criticism. There is something odd with the pictures on that site. It almost feels like they are over-compressed or re-scaled for file size reasons. You have aliased edges, on the top ClanVega.co.za and on the bottom Coming Soon.

The logo, although very nicely done, also have that blurry over-compressed look to it for some reason. Perhaps add some blue glow to the font edges as well to spice it up somewhat.

Thanks for the input..

I have noticed all the things you've mentioned.

I quickly made that, and I cant use photo shop. I used Microsoft Publisher.

It's a temporary logo until someone with Pshop skills can make a decent logo...
We needed something up in the mean time which had the clan name on it.

You're free to help assist with a logo Gamos.... ;)

Without the original source material I can't do much, but here are just an example (nitpicking I know)

*The left hand logo is overly bright in my example, but it is some nebula sun or something, it needs to be bright. :)
Perhaps in your original logo file, brighten up the sun but leave the font as is. Add some blue outerglow or something to the font perhaps?
PS - I am far to lazy to do a select or trace on the font to mess with that, so I just messed with the levels slider. :)

*The ClanVega font just needs smoothing. I don't have the exact font, but just as example on the difference a bit of smoothing does.

*Also some dodging and burning on the UT model brings it a bit more to life.


Just some advice, take it, leave it...

Hehe, dude, I used to work for an online marketing company. That page is just a listing of either affiliate hosts or their own hosts. Basically, they just bull-shitting you.

Nevertheless ...site is fast now :)

Ok sites live again :P

But we've had a nameserver change, so it will take up to 3 hours for the rest of yawl to see the site again.
