davidfowler2000 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Oh yes I do like the Mr Skizzer effort. Personally I think the "autoshite Your Motoring is our Concern" should remain the same but I do like to idea of some shonky old motors in there too.

eddyramrod Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 10 points to Skizzer I think! Not entirely convinced by the SD1 and XJS; Sierra Base and Regata might be closer to the truth, but a very pleasing graphic even so.

Ghosty Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Is it possible to have a line/grid of side profiles (like that of Conrad's P6 in Skizzer's image) of AS (users?) cars with the AS logo over the top/in the middle? something like this (example of structure): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I deffo think it should feature the Sierra Base of ultimate shiteness and another vote for the SVM Council Estate davidfowler2000 and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you, Brother Ramrod. Happy to do this (and the Council Estate) if people like this style. I might also turn the BX into the blue estate AS bike.

Pillock Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Yeah, I wasn't saying leave the forum software alone - I know that needs updating.It was the logo I was saying should be treated in the Autoshite way, which is to leave it alone whilst all around is being replaced and refreshed. I really like the Skizzer one. Is it possible to do a few different ones, and call it as a script rather than a picture so it loads a random one out of a handful so you get different cars each time? eddyramrod and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshome Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 keep the old logo, add some oily spots and a few scratches to it if you like, but keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Tidybeard Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 How about this? http://www.toonacy.com/Cartoons/133 This is a .png file but the original is done with vector graphics so I can resize it, change the background colour, whatever. Different cars (or colours) available on request. maybe a puddle of oil under the bl chod and green blood under the bx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 OK, here's version 2. I like the idea of changing it from time to time, so we can do refreshed versions with different cars and stuff when we get around to it.

PhilA Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Okay, so let me get this right What you mean is it looks same but the forum now starts every morning. Even if it's rained the night before? I don't know if I trust that. You'll want to keep them jump leads, mark my words. Fuel injection, psh. It'll never catch on. I know a bloke what bought himself one like that, 'ee ain't never had so much trouble before then.

daveb47 Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Just sent this to Sherri at ibtheme.Wih new logo sample attached. Morning Sherri, Wonder if you might want to have a quick read of this thread on my board where skin is being discussed. http://autoshite.com/topic/25066-new-ipb4-skin-preview/ Comments made by members 1/ Can we somehow have the "shineyness" of the skin turned down a tad 2/ Yeah it looks a bit too 'new' and a bit American for me... Think it needs to be a bit more retro, and the autoshite name is just plain wrong! It should be the current orange one, or autoshite in a muddy tyre print as if its the tread. And it should be rusty at the bottom or something... 3/ You might need to explain to the developer that the reason you are paying for a custom skin is that you don't want the board to look new and shiny. Normal people seem to find this a difficult concept to understand Can you please do something with this logo/header on plain header as original forum Maany Thanks Mike Tamworthbay, BorniteIdentity, trigger and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Version 2 is BOB ON! Though Volvo 740 estates have higher rooflines than that if I'm being really twattish. And it appears I am. Sorry.

Skizzer Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Is there enough room in there for the big yellow bus of much Shitefest wowness?Yup, deffo in the pipeline. The Samara of much legend needs to feature too, and the beige wedge, and...and...I can see us having a few different versions and switching between them periodically. Version 2 is BOB ON! Though Volvo 740 estates have higher rooflines than that if I'm being really twattish. And it appears I am. Sorry. Or maybe they don't now I look at them. Hmmm. I think I need a lie down...A teeny bit higher, I think. The Council Estate needs a bit of tweaking generally aft of the A-pillar - it's not quite giving me essence of Volvo yet.
