a little off topic

okay, I trust your opinions......I need you to be honest....it is January 27th at 8:37pm. My partner and I are creating a website bookstore and don't agree on the look of things...colors really.....this is all about color.

I won't touch anything for an 1/2 hour or so, but please look and tell me if I am on the right track.... or if he is on the right track....

He says: The logo is not colorful enoug
I say: Too many colors will make it busy and hard to read
you decide.... (he agreed to this so you r opinions will win, vote for me HEHEHE)


He says: Too much blue, not FUN!
I say: Huh? I don't get it. I think it is fun, but also easy to read.


Please tell us what to do......(and tell me how you love the logo just the way it is...please.....okay, just be honest, I am counting on you guys, because I trust you will be honest)

Well guys,
To be "honest" I'd have to say there is too much of that all one shade of blue. I'm not saying you need a psychedellic burst of color, but maybe combine another shade of blue or another color in there.
Sorry Joe, don't be mad at me.

[Joe Brummer]

okay, I can agree there may be too much blue. Perhaps an accent may be needed, but I am afraid to be too busy......

I decided I won't change anything til the morning so people have time top chime in and help us out. Rick isn't taking to the amount of color. I think have sold him on the blue, or at best the shade if it....but he suggests taking out the first blue line after the logo working down and just leaving the text that says "top" and "catalog", but changing the color to blue or black....

I don't know about that, I think you need to differentiaite between the header and the rest of the page...I gues I am argumentitive or something......

I admit it might be too much blue.... But I like blue!

sorry to say... I think that if you add more color it will attract more attention and will stil be pretty easy top read, maybe not a lot, but some. (sorry)

[Joe Brummer]

I have to admit this get funnier by the minute, because we dont' agree. It doesn't happen that often that Rick and I don't agree on stuff, but we really don't agree on this......HELP!!


(vote for me...vote for me...this is subliminal message that joe is right, you didn't see this.....it wasjust some text at the bottom of the post....) HEHEHE

what color, do you like the orange?

[Jennifer5]

Yeah I like the orange... but you could even add another color... what kind of look are you going for?

one that sells books......


I wish we knew. We want "fun" and we want "inviting" but also clean and not too busy....does that mean anything....

[Jennifer5]

I would say yellow but I don't know how much it would show up... maybe a purple or a forest green....

[Joe Brummer]

I had a forst green on the word media for awhile it was l=okay, but I thought it was busy in the lgo...Rick liked it....I didn't. That may have been the start of this disgreement....who knows...but we are trying to get beyond the disagreement to something we both like.....here is the green in the orinal logo....

[Jennifer5]

I don't know then... sorry

[Joe Brummer]

I don't know then... sorry


your thoughts have been very helpful!!!!! No need to apologize, we are too old queens trying to agree. Mostly it is fun! I am not a fan of green myself. (sorry Shep). I would use the green if people thought it was better than too much blue.....

I almost just want to give it up and say make it black and white...it is easier.

[Jennifer5]

maybe the yellow could work some how... very bright colors, happy...:agree: :) ;) ...
