Elements "Re-Skin" Idea and Concept *Updated 7.1.12*

Wow. Even if it's just fanart, that looks amazing.

Thanks, I'm going to post a lobby page soon too!

Oh yes! A lobby would be fantastic. I look forward to it.

You could at least try to stick to a fantasy-esque style. Now it just looks like any other web 2.0 applet.

Oh, hey, vrt is here!

I have to agree.  That's kind of what was bothering me, but I'm afraid I'm too tired to say anything properly.  It's too... shiny.

What is it that makes it shiny? as I stated before, the reason the logo is different is because I still need a copy of the original. The logo will stay the same as the current.

I wasn't talking about the redone logo, which looks great by the way, but just touching on vrt's point.  It looks too new.  It seems more of the login for a sci-fi game rather than a fantasy CCG.

You'll notice that the forum logo image contains the in-game logo, so you can use that.

I agree that it seems to fit more in a sci-fi game than in a fantasy game (is that a space background?). It's still pretty awesome though.

Problem is the 2.0 style, but let me point out the main elements that are out of place:

• Glowing techy icons
• Space background
• Matted glass style
• Web 2.0 form (including slider)
• Glowing text
• Scanlines

It's a decent design, and it's fine for most applications; but not for one with a theme as strong as Elements.

Good point's. I think the Icon's are good as they are, the background is good how it is, and the background is good how it is (after the changes I've made).
I will look into the login form, I think it look's very nice as it is, however I am going to build a new one that fits the style more.

[Annele]

The new one is... wow. Still a bit sci-fi, but much better. If I had the option, I'd probably use this background. (I do like the idea of it being optional though, you can get a lot of haters otherwise)

[Drake_XIV]

That's much better.  I wouldn't be too opposed to seeing this, but I'm not to quick to leave the current one just yet...

[Calindu]

Could you do it with the current in-game background? I am sure it will look amazing.

[Chapuz]

I think that player's concentration should be in the game itself and not in the background. Therefore, I like how it is now: simple enough.
 I don't wanna see EtG becoming another of that shitty flash card games.
