I was wondering and I hope this doesn't sound arrogant but, as it seems the mock is improving and everybody seems fairly happy can the rating improve? If there is a reason as to why anybody hasn't changed their rating please by all means tell me and I can do what needs to be done. I just thought thinks were on the up and the design still appears faded on the gallery home - which I personally don't think reflects the mock now. Again, if there is something holding anyone back please do tell me.

Thanks everyone for your continued support.

It does sound arrogant. People will vote up when they think it has improved. In my opinion, it's still not worth 3 stars to be brutally honest. Sorry.

This is the least worst in my opinion. I think you need to change the blue - you can make the logo a bit more versatile by changing the colour from the blue which is far too garish for that picture.

Ah sorry didn't mean to sound honestly. I was just putting it out in case people had wished to change their rating but hadn't got round to it.

I totally understand and I do hope people do think it has improved.

That's really unfortunate. I had honestly hoped that you would find this "respectable".

It's definitely on the way there.

Thanks ASO... I think.

Maybe If I applied an opacity to the logo it would be a lot nicer. I'm thinking the red text should go though. I had just uploaded a comment in my last post asking again until I noticed you had picked. I was using (2) in a promotional advert for the channel that I have been working on whilst away. It's just about set for rendering.

The logo is already opaque. Do you mean translucency? That's what bar on the side is - translucent. I think you should make both a translucent lighter blue.

Yes that is what I meant - sorry!

I have worked on the promo screen ASO said he liked.

Changed the font colours and made the logo translucent.

I then made the boxes white as opposed to blue. For this one I'm not sure but want to provide a selection so here it is:

I then thought about how this would work as the promo screen across the brand. I then placed Dallas as the show being advertised and again I'm not sure. I just don't know if the colours work - the blue is bright and cheerful whilst the black and gold is dark. What do you think?

I'd love to hear some more feedback. Has anyone got any suggestions about something they'd like to see done that I haven't?

Thanks for taking time to view these.

I was talking about versatility - why does the logo have to be the same colour for each one? No - blue does not go with the picture and anyone can see that. So change the colours. You could either make it really stand out by choosing a colour that clashes with the picture, OR you could choose a colour that blends in nicely.

Ah thank you.

What is your views on the neighbours one?

I shall maybe add gold to the Dallas one.

Is there anything other than this promo screen that you'd like to see?

Thanks ASO.

The first pic in your new post this morning showed exactly why you should work on these away from the forum before coming back and posting - a significant improvement on your earlier efforts.

However you then seemed to post pretty much everything else you've probably created in recent weeks and it kind of becomes a mess again. All those varients of the Neighbours endboard don't look great and the ECPs aren't much better.

IMO look at those couple of blue on white logos and work from there - stick to that simple colour scheme and ensure the blue never appears directly over an image. I do think you're definately improving and you do have the beginning of something, but less is definately more.

P.S. Five USA on white looks quite promising (though makes me want pizza, and I don't even like pizza!). Your Five Star designs essentially need scrapping and starting again.
