Feedback Requested: New Album Artwork Proposal

[webmacster87]

As you may have seen, we've been considering the possibility of "upgrading" our album artwork up to phpBB3's standards. David has done some work on some possible new versions of our album artwork, and we've taken some of the initial feedback to put something together that we kind of like. Here is the first draft of the proposed new artwork that David completed:


For reference, here is the album artwork that we are currently using:


Have any feedback on this new album artwork? Is it a good idea/bad idea? Please let us know!

P.S. In addition to new album artwork, we would also want to have a new WordPress theme for phpBBWeekly.net that could be edited slightly to tie in with the new album artwork. Please share any WordPress theme suggestions that you may have! (And rest assured that we will NOT use the same WordPress theme as the Official Podcast.)

I really like the new look album artwork, Nice work David
I think the person thing with headphones looks a little too bold to me, but otherwise it looks great

but for using it, i would say Go For It!

Define ?bold?

Define ?bold?

well, It looks far too 3D for something thats meant to be flat "the calendar" it doesnt seem to fit there properly

or is it the shadow below it that doesnt fit :S

In the old topic, the calendar had been suggested because the artwork had looked kind of bland with the bod thing floating in the middle of nowhere. At least, that was my opinion, anyway.

I love it! I wasn't expecting that look, but that turned out awesome!
Maybe the SAT color in the calendar needs to change from phpBB blue to a darker space blue.

Guys, that is such an improvement. If Douglas and David like it, I'd say go with it!
That makes for a nice phpBB Weekly Podcast logo icon.

Ooops! We'll have to change this also to match.
