FA version 3.0

[Accountability]

I don't think there is set rules when it comes to the banner. I've seen people submit them and they get used (I think the Nyan-Cat Fender was a submission) and I've seen Dragoneer commission them (in the note leaks).

I would like to see them put some standards in place with the new UI though, something like "must incorporate the logo". Mostly because I think enforcing brands is important. Right now, the banners always look out of place and tossed up in the corner without much thought.

A man after my own heart.

Not surprised this is late, don't expect it to be around by October either.

Hah, I've been complaining about that for years. (The inconsistency of FA's logo) Even when Google allows variations on their front page, we still know what their corporate logo looks like - which is why the variations are fun.

This should have been top priority when FA started actively promoting themselves and getting involved with things. Take a look at the bottom of the last FA:U page (the domain no longer points at the server, which is still up). There are three instantly recognizable logos and... Fender getting hit by an invisible bus, with "FA" tossed in there so we know that button represents FA. Fender is a great mascot, but since there are so many variations and art styles that have been used to draw him, he is a terrible brand.

The logo at the top of the forums is a start, though I agree with the people that would like to see the hidden "F" made more obvious.

Actually that wouldn't be hard to do, just make a vertical break in orange colour.

Or make one that looks a little less gay and actually spells the site name out?

I thought those were all Synonyms anyway. Are you telling me I've been wrong all this time?

There have been mockups done that round a break above the right part of the "a" which creates the "f" and makes the "tail" on the right of the logo look like a tail.

The original preview did have a logo like this, but in the more recent previews it was gone and a placeholder banner was in it's place.

I met Dragoneer at AC. He told me that it should be out February 30th of next year at the latest, probably September 31st of this year though.

[Rossyfox]

I think he just makes dates and numbers up on the spot and tells people them so they feel like they are getting privileged insider info from their BFF Dragoneer.

I can't wait for someone to post thinking these are real dates. Oh man.

[Heimdal]

Yeah nvm. My joke sucked due to braindead.

Is this a fake account or a joke or something:

I can't think why there needs to be a facebook account for FA or why one would need to post previews of a new interface there.

So, with 420,000 accounts, they choose to show their sneak peeks on a Facebook channel that they don't advertise to a grand total of 0.01% of their viewers?

Glad to see you're focusing on the really important things there Sean.

On the plus side, that appears to be the (5 month) old mock up, so it's not like anyone not watching Facebook is missing out on anything.

[zachhart12]

*lols at this* still waiting on that 3.0...

[Devious Bane]

Necroing a near 8month old thread isn't going to make it come any faster.
