i hope i'm not stepping on anyone's toes here....

here are a few "ideas" that have been floating around my head for a while. ZEN needs a new logo as well as a few simple changes to help elevate the visuals. if no one likes it, i'll keep working on it. let me know what you guys think. i also wanted to make a few suggestions about some things to who ever can make the changes. for example, the home page says "Zenthusiast.net A forum for any Z enthusiast! Young or old. This is a place for those who have questions and need help or Z enthusiasts that just wanna hang out and share stories of their Z's" twice. i think the banner should run the length of the top section. the multicolor buttons are wierd too...i have not settled on any concrete logo designs yet, b/c i wanted input from you guys. Smile

now these are just my opinions from a professional point of view, ..i could actually make a rotating gif that covers all/some of the Zs, from the 240 to the 370. just an idea.

OMG I love them. I would love to have the rotating gif up there that would be great! I do like the idea of taking away the intro. Let me see what I can do.

I also couldn't find any buttons I liked for the forum so I had to do with what I had to choose from. Unless you want to make some new ones for the forum, which would be awesome Wink

Very Nice. I Agree we need more of a "branding" here i think it would help, which is why i made a logo of some sort. Other than that, great job, i think i need to up my game once again. lol!

Btw christina what is the size for the buttons, i might can start working on something with that.

Money!!!

I like the simpler logo and how it looks fast or aggressive with the slant.
Also, since there is only a picture of one car i think it should be like one of these unobtainium race cars or the retro concept rather than one specific model.
The edge vigenetting is a plus as well.

i dont really like the colored buttons at the top as well now that is was pointed out Razz

One suggestion.... Any reason to bunch all the buttons together? Can they be made more into lozenges or buttons spread out along a continuous bar, with gaps between the buttons?

The "Z" in the Zenthusiast could stand to be a little brighter...
