We need to do what the snake said snd have a giant, colourful buzzong bee flying into the corner, smiling!!


Indeed, a small bee to represent the buzz of Buzzjack. Still keep Lady Buzzjack though in some form as well. Could fit both of them in!

I'm no designer (and not sure if a logo change is even possible) but just putting the letters in BUZZJACK closer together would be such a good improvement. Could be as simple as this but could certainly be more extensive too.

My instincts tell me the two main components that make the site look dated are that there is an overuse of borders around boxes and text so maybe remove some of them would give the site a more modern feel (and give the colours more prominence in separating different chunks on the forum); and that the site spans the entire length of the screen (I'm not sure how difficult it is to set it up especially for mobile users), so perhaps a fixed length (or flexible, like give the forum a max width) would help?

Potentially also the gradients used at parts of the forum as well

I've actually mocked something up that's not dissimilar to this! I agree that simplicity could be the way to go. I'll work on it more later and maybe post to get some feedback thinking.gif unless it looks horrible x

The width of the forum is something I've absolutely considered already! Though I'd have to take some time to make sure I'm doing that properly so perhaps not an immediate solution. Thanks for mentioning though!

I 100% agree. Even moving the text to the left, slightly off center and incorporating lady buzzjack directly to the right of the text would be a nice way to honour her since everyone does want to keep her.

I've mocked this up... what do we think?



Was thinking we could keep the same current shade of blue for the background, so this is basically how it'll look:



Open to feedback! I think simplicity is key so I don't want to try anything too complex or artsy with it, but Lady Buzzjack wasn't easy to put in (and I was VERY careful making a cutout of her laugh.gif ) so if you guys think of a better placement for her then I'm all ears. Be gentle xx

I would much prefer Buzzjack Music Entertainment Discussion would say Buzzjack Entertainment Forum, or even just Buzzjack.

Going back to James' earlier remark about the subtitle description underneath, I think perhaps it could be reworded ever so slightly to be more in line with what the forum is about going forwards. Music is of course the primary subject but it’s so much more than just that! So perhaps some more creative juices will be needed to come up with a catchy slogan…
