digitalcat Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 New logo all together. Make it a logo not just a font face. The old one is boring. The new one is futuretarded. But b4 we get into the logo busienss can we get more action going on here? Been crickets lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Good input digicat, perhaps a New Logo contest would throw a few ideas out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm actually surprised that TF has never really incorporated the Thai flag colors. Whether it be in the logo or in the general design of the site. Maybe I'm wrong but a little red, white, and blue seems like a natural color scheme for a Thailand focused website.

funky_house Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I like the new font, but it just seems so bare, stuck down in the corner of that blue box. It needs to be made bigger, or a new logo. Perhaps some sort of happy medium between the old and new logo can be achieved, but thats just me thinking out loud about trying to please more members. I know f*** all about web design or font use. On another note, I did not like the recent revolving photo box, and I know others have already mentioned the lack of visible borders. Personally, I like the blue colour scheme, but in some places, more contrast is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been crickets lately Agreed . . . so why don't you start coming to more events? It's all symbiotic. More young guys like you draw more young, attractive girls, who draw more young guys, who . . . well, I think you get the picture. Don't get your head all swelled up or anything but, believe believe it or not, young ladies would rather see more guys that look like you than old geezers like me. BTW, saw May's pics from the poker game. So insulted Rob and I weren't invited to clean you guys out :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't do that. Thai flag is not something to be messing around with. Thai flag does not represent wild parties with naked women dancing by the pool for old men. A design contest would be a good idea, winner wins some Satangs in pocket and a little ego boosted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was one event where some people did something they were specifically asked not to do so to pretend it represents TF is . . . .not exactly accurate. BTW, for those of you who didn't go to the pool party . . . we hired some dancers and they took off their tops exposing some pasties underneath. Like I said, I saw their act which included the top removal and told them we absolutely didn't want that. But once they got out there they did it anyway. And what I said was I was surprised that nobody every incorporated the colors into the design. I wasn't saying that that is what I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old was is 66.66666% there. The new one, well, it looks like a sign for an alien hangout, am I onto something?lol p.s. Am I the only one who when goes to read Thailandfriends out loud in the new font reads it out in a robot voice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorea Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 About Thai flag and colour of the flag, I think you better check it with the lawyers team. Maybe no website base in TH use red, white blue because they are not allowed. Just to be on the safe side, stay away from those colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carz79 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 The new one is futuretarded. Is "futuretarded" in urban dictionary?? ha ha but agree with Vlad start afresh. In comparing the old and new, I think the old logo is "friendlier". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodKarma Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I like the OLD LOGO -- but I am mos def getting used to the new one... IMHO - the photo flash on the new one also greater enhanced the new look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Uhm . . . you do realize that the US, UK, France, Costa Rica, and Australia (plus a few others that don't jump to the top of my head) all have red, white, and blue flags, don't you? The colors don't belong to Thailand. In fact, the flag was adopted in 1917 under Rama VI and he chose the colors (in part) because they were the colors of Thailand's allies during WWI (UK, France, Serbia, Russia) although Rama VI did assign different meanings to the colors (Thai nation, Buddhism, and the monarchy). Rama VI's inspiration of using stripes was also based on his desire to have Thailand's flag appear more like the European flags as ever since Rama II the flag had been solid red with a white elephant in the center. A quick Google search does seem to indicate that there is a National Flag Act but the only references to it I can find (in English) are a Thai woman in the UK who put the flag on a porn website which the Thai government didn't take too kindly to and some dude who tried to amend the law in 2007 making it mandatory that all people, even motorists would have to pause at 8am and 6pm daily for the raising and lowering of the Thai flag. But if it's something that Thai people might be offended by that's all one needs to say. That's a perfectly valid reason not to work with those color schemes. About Thai flag and colour of the flag, I think you better check it with the lawyers team. Maybe no website base in TH use red, white blue because they are not allowed.Just to be on the safe side, stay away from those colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatty Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Agree with Tonia about Thai Flag and the contest. I was goint to say it this morning... not only for logo but about the theme of website. There are many graphic designers around TF. let them shine. and about naked..girls... hmmm they were topless not totally naked..lol it's not my things anyway... quite disappointed about unfair redesign party... at least they should have men show for the girls... Carz if you like to see i might take you to Patpong, how about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carz if you like to see i might take you to Patpong, how about that? @ Carz ....another great opportunity ...escorted trip to Patpong...first May's Melborne offer and now this!!! please share your secret Carloz... Quite right , Neung ...Bill and Rob's background (USA) should have requied equal rights and you women should have made your demands right then. It would have prepared them for all of this "input" on New TF vs OLD TF Colors... hey rip-off the color scheme of Thai Airways...IHMO it is very subtle, soothing, and pleasent, although I would miss my Carolina Blue!!!! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
