Gazza - will the eBid Logo be changing?

[JaBek1]

Is anyone surprised, that I think green is nice? He he. They are just trying to increase the value of the t-shirts. 50 years from now which one will be collectible?

I have nothing against green, it's the color of money, but combined with purple makes me wonder a bit.I'm a bit concerned about Gazza's fashion sense though.

Green/Purple is the sign of royalty.

I guess it could be a shade of green although I thought it was teal. I also guess that the by combining the pink and blue it did form a shade of purple although I think of purple as being a whole lot darker.

I actually think a bluish grey and mauve would be a good combination.

The logo will be changing a little, the red will become green and the light blue behind the hammer becomes purple. There may possibly be a couple more slight changes to the standalone version.

We'll place a version up here soon. For everyone to check out.

If this is changing a little, I dread to thing what a major change would be.

Thanks for posting it Gazza, first impression, I'd prefer the circular button we have now recoloured.
As for the green, a bit less olive more emerald would be better IMO.

A long time ago I read up on using colors on websites and how to use complimentary colors for greater impact.

Green = growth, health, environment, harmony
Purple = royal, precious, romantic, sacred

Using purple with other colors

A deep eggplant purple with neutral tans or beige is an earthy, conservative color combination with a touch of the mystery that purple provides. Green and purple can be a striking combination in deep or bright jewel tones or use lighter shades for a cheerful, springlike feel.

A cool blue and a warm red combine to create deep purples and pale lavenders. To a lesser extent, shades of green, especially turquoise and teal, also have both the warming and cooling effects born of warm yellow and cool blue. Some light neutrals such as cream, pale beige, and taupe evoke some of the same warm and cool feelings of purples and greens. The opposite or clashing color for purple is green and for green, purple.

I definately prefer the red button. It makes me want to press (i.e click on it). Not sure about the new design but i hope the guys know what they're doing.

It will mean replacing all the sly little eBid logo's i've placed on my eb*y auctions though.

I'm sad to say that I'm not impressed by the green & purple example I've seen in a previous post. (#66) I would much recommend more of a Kelly Green & a deeper Royal Purple if it must be those two colors.

Well, i'll say what I think........and I don't like it at all

I pondered for quite a while, trying to think what it reminded me of........then it dawned

"Bubble writing" all over text books when we were school kids in the seventies

Nuff said

Afterthought....should have had a competition.....there's a fair amount of "design talent" around these very forums
