munt · 05-28-2006, 10:25 PM

still working on it
will be adding a contact form some more categories
modding submit page and link details pages etc in next few days
i had a go at making a logo..
using the free program "GIMP" which is way better than the MS paint i used to use

using phpld 3.05

good bad ugly?

So-So. its not bad and its not that good. I think you should add more media and pictures(graphics).

The logo image is slightly hard to read... looks a little messy somehow... but I just can't place it...

I assume you are going for an IBM logo feel. First of all let me say that that might not be a great idea, they are (out of necessity) pretty aggressive at protecting their trademarks.

That said, there are a few (minor) issues with the logo, in my opinion. The first is the size; you have very small and fairly detailed icons on there. Making the whole thing even 25% bigger would be a huge improvement. Another problem is the line spacing. The white lines through your letters are not the same widths; it gives a messy appearance to the lettering. To me it looks like you had a larger graphic, and compressed it down to a smaller size, which kind of screwed up the anti-aliasing and left it uneven.

None of this is a big deal, you asked for critisism, so I am trying to be constructive here.

thanks for all the comments

and wasnt going for an IBM feel

Hi there,

I don't think your site is bad or ugly, although I wouldn't say it was exactly up to par at the moment. I think you may of asked for a review a bit too early as it needs a lot of improvement. I will first of all give you a bit of feedback on what I think needs improving;

Logo
Text Size
Graphics (need to be slightly bigger and clearer)
Content (needs more)

To be absolutely fair though, I cannot go into full detail as the site is barely finished and it wouldn't be helpful to you.

PST - Add a "beta" sign next to your logo, so people don't expect too much from site until it is fully launched. Don't keep the feedback form hidden within contact us, give it a direct link from the home page somewhere, therefore you can get direct feedback from first hand users.

Good Luck in your quest to glory.

it s good friend...

your logo is very special
I still can read the logo although I have weak eye vision but it takes time to read it.

I like your inside search engine, it makes finding info more easy

you have a nice site nice game directory

khleomi · 06-06-2006, 04:36 AM

The site is looking good, although it needs a bit more work for people to really want to stay and have a look around... The colors are nice although all that space is a bit unerving, maybe you can try to fill those blue spaces a bit... All in all, not a really bad or ugly site, it just needs a bit of work is all...
