Honestly #1 or Makato's red one would be nice. The orginal #2 is hard to read the "forums.org" with white on light orange... I think #1would probably have a broader appeal but I'm not exactly normal

Any chance on stretching it just a smidge or doing a widescreen option, something similar to the upper right on this page Fudzilla? I understand the choice for a static design but I would imagine a good portion of the people viewing the site probably have a widescreen monitor.

Sorry to nit pick!!!!

Well we are a RMR sponsor so thats not a bad thing. And Hyundai is his sponsor.

I like #2 but done with the lettering in #1 and the color of Makato. Also, I would change one of the pictures to include a rear 3/4 view, and swap out the gray car for a custom one off the BK site. Also, change the slogan to the Premiere Site, I always liked that.

If it has to change then I'm leaning towards makoto's design. I like the layout and the lettering since it seems to have been taken directly from the Genesis font. I would like to see at least one shot of the sedan in there since this is not just a coupe forum like in #1. I also like dboz's idea of a rear 3/4 shot and the original slogan. And throw a flying H in the background somewhere like in the first one.

it is the genesis logo, thats. i have the font for our actual logo and can change it.

also, i have about a decade of web design experience so if anyone can give accurate criticism to my designs to make them better i can implement those changes to perfect the design. these were all preliminary graphics made purely from my own free time with no input from anyone else.

with input from other people we can get it perfect.

I think I'm with a few other voices here: I like #2, because it's clean, but definitely need to give some more face time to the Sedan. The white on orange is hard to read however, so Makoto's red one could be an excellent choice.

I'd happily volunteer the rear 3/4 view, dic51, that I have in my avatar. Obviously, I won't be offended if you DON'T want that pic, either.

:bump: Makoto's design in my view is the easiest on the eyes with no conflicting colors, although I also like #1, I even like the current layout.:bow:

+1...........#2 FTW ATW...but with lettering in #1 like dboz said. This will keep it consistant to what folks are used to seeing OR I'd like the Genesis lettering in white as is, but below Forums.org will need to be in black in order to stand out in that orange.

The colors of orange, white, & black stick with our original layout, so as not to confuse too many people. Don't want folks thinking this is a new site & genesisforums.org disappeared. So, IMO the blue RMR looking site & the red background won't work, although I think both look marvelous.

I also agree that the last car in #2 (the gray one) needs to be swapped with a sedan to let people know we cater to both Genesis cars. Preferrably one of the good looking sedans from SEMA. And, maybe try to get a rear 3/4 of one of the coupes in there like deboz mentioned.

Ya'll probably don't know, but I'm gussing all of these designs are Makos. I agree with a SEMA sedan shot & a flying H in the background would be nice.

You suck, all these designs suck & need to be trashed. Come up with something original, otherwise just give up. JKG...

Really thanks & I'm glad this is coming about....Time for change...LoL

And just a great shot...

^^^damn I've been fighting through all these posts looking for that & could not find it to save my life.

That should definately be the sedan pick IMO -- the white dub edition, not the boring one below it..

If you need a dark background we can see about finding more pics of the DUB cars.
