Cheers Shelley

In the blue pak, the forum_new.gif is actually Forum_new.gif and dont work with the capital F just thought i'd let you know in case peeps were struggling ;)

[Shelley_c]

Thanks Bashy. ;)

I've updated the "blue Glossy forum Icon" attachment.

[PennylessZ28]

looks sharp

[Shelley_c]

Update: Purple variations added in the first post of this thread.

Nice ones shelly, very good looking and sharp. Reminds me of Windows Vista or the KDE Crystal set.

[Shelley_c]

I've never seen the vista or kde set. Hopefully, it's not to similiar as I try to submit unique images on .org. Thanks for the comments though and to everyone else who commented

That said, I designed and added a backing plate on the forum Icons Just to give them a more prominant look. Dunno if they look that much different or appear any better but it's added noneoftheless.

A set of 6 will probably be released tomorrow.

[Snort_2005]

Heh.. guess I'll make a request...

If you can, can you anti-alias those black ones against a black background color instead of a white background? :P

[Shelley_c]

Here you go. :)

[yinyang]

awesome, simply awesome. clicks install.

[Snort_2005]

Kudos on the prompt response. :D

*clicks install*

[dragonhart]

very very nice, hats to to you......thank you dragonhart

[Silver740]

Possible to make the black set a little smaller? They seem to be too big when I tried them on my forum. Also, if I can get a copy w/ the anti-aliased one for the black background.

Other than that, these are the most impressive on the site so far ;)

[Justdave]

I really like the black pak.

Is there a chance we can get the rest of the icons in this style, eg subforum gif, status icons, etc.?

Thanks for your hard work here Shelley. BTW, I love your VBI site color scheme.

[Shelley_c]

I'm not promising but I'll try and get some Sub Forum status icons designed to compliment the forum Icons. :)

I've re-scaled the forum icons a little and hopfully this will suit your forum better. :)

@Silver740 Is that with or without the dark matting? I wasn't sure whther you missed the "o" out by accident. If you provide a link to your forum and to the style I can then get the hex value and start on your request.

[Justdave]

Shelley,

Now that I've seen you point out the visual flaws in another forum, I realize how ordinary, and exceptionally harsh my forum looks.

www.justdaves.com

use this:

Username: test
Password: test

It's functional, but I'd like it to be a bit easier on the eye, perhaps more forgiving with less right angles. I'm also trying to establish a color scheme that compliments the existing logo.

If you have any recommendations, I'm very much willing to listen. ;)

[Shelley_c]

I would recommened that you firstly submit your forum up for a review and get some vital critique from the vb community. There's never been a post were I have asked for some suggestions and got bad advice, you'll defientely get some good suggestions from the .org community.

My own personal opinion is that your style looks far to defaultish. Try to stay clear of the blue variant you've opted for, maybe try another blue variation. Infact, checking back on your style (gradients). Your still using the default images and gradients which is the reason it looks plain.:)

Your sub forums look awfully crammed together but submitting your forum you'll gain far more indepth feedback on all aspects from other stylists than what I can give.

With regards to the folders the right angles sharp edges were intentional but was always thinking of releasing (designing them first of course) a rounded edge version(s). Now that you've pointed this out I'll probably be releasing a softer more rounded edge variation of this set. :)

[Danny Diamond]

I installed the Black Glossys. Thank you very much.

[Justdave]

Thanks Shelley, I appreciate your input. Its obvious I have a ton of work to do. I like the blue variant idea. Alternatively, I'm thinking about a variation of black/grey white, to help the blue in the icon pop!

[Shelley_c]

I installed the Black Glossys. Thank you very much.

No Problem.

Just a thought, I'm currently working on a v2 of these forum Icons (they haven't really changed much) Only with a back plate added behind the paper which gives the markers a more prominant feel. Personally I think they would suit your forum much better.

As you can see (preview Below). The back plate is added giving off a more prominant set of Icons. If you agree I can modify them in the black variant for you. :)

Again, no problem. Black/grey white sounds good. A total grey scale theme sounds better though which is something I've always wanted to design but put off (because I loathe styling). Goodluck with your site and hopefully you'll progress with it without any hiccups. :)

[soletrader]

Very nice Shelley. Cant wait to see the v2 ones. Thank you!

[KevinLiles]

Good Job.

[ProjectTR]

[Wurstteppich]

Hello shelly_c,

first of all: Thanks! This is great work!

Any chance you can replace the remaining images too ? The collapse buttons for example ?

[Shelley_c]

Only the forum status icons will be submitted here. However, I might have a set of sub forum markers to compliment this set but that's about it. The matching buttons sets (black & blue) can be found in the button set forum.:)

[JayT123]

Great job on all the graphics.

Got those sub forum markers yet?

[djscene]

shelley could you do
http://www.site.com/forums/images/statusicon/thread_new.gif (not sure what they are called)

them icons, in the orange with a 000 black background so they fit on my site..like a mail sign small in the orange glossy? Im happy to pay

Great work..keep it up!

[Wurstteppich]

I might have a set of sub forum markers to compliment this set but that's about it.

That would be great! Thanks for the response!

[Shelley_c]

I'll try and get the subforum markers posted this weekend. :)

They would have been posted sooner but I've really been swamped with work lately.

[SCRIPT3R]

Shelley-

could you provide both a blue and black glossy set at maybe 50% of their current size? i'm looking for icons around 35 pixels in height. and for the blue, could you match the hex starting point of (8ba5d7) and adjust opacity from there for me? the attached file will give you an idea of my header gradients. i'm converting my forum icons to yours... very nice.

[BigJimTheLug]

Wow, this is so cool!
I got the green icons!

yeah!

[kenc]

nice job - thanks!

Did you ever get these done? I'd really appreciate it if you did :) (and it's been a while :p)

[EmmaB]

Absolutely perfect!

[th13rteen]

Shelly thanks for the icons. I love them. I'm using the yellow ones on my forum. Thanks!

[BarryoBrien]

very nice perfect for my site. Is there any buttons to go along side them?

I haven't designed a button set to compliment these forum status icons though that's not to say that it's not on the cards. Maybe in the future when time permits.
