version I have been thinking about. It definately needs a bit more work, but maybe you like it.
It's great, but someone needs to complain, so....
- The penguin in the "About" logo could be a bit bigger (just bleed/ crop it a bit if needed);
- It took me a while to realise the thing in the "Developers" logo is meant to be a keyboard;
- The "101" and "?" logos aren't (properly) anti-aliased.
Great job though :-)
I wholeheartedly concur; this is one of the better Wiki cover pages I've ever seen.
Just to point out something trivial, I thought I'd point out that Internet Explorer 6's broken .png implementation does not render those front page images consistently; that is to say, some of those images render with a black background and some with green. It so happens that the non-anti-aliased logos are the two that render green.
One possible workaround would be the following JavaScript, pasted into an appropriate header somewhere: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/pngtestfixed.htm http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/pnghowto.htm
I realize the bulk of this list probably uses a non-MS browser, and I also recognize that .png rendering in IE7 (real soon now) should be repaired. In addition, I understand that a browser-specific patchup is not necessarily a good thing as such.
However, it is my general feeling that the percentage of web surfers which will continue to use IE6 significantly overlaps with that portion which does so with JavaScript fully enabled. The only remaining question is whether enough of them will visit this wonderfully informative and visually attractive front page to make this workaround worthwhile.
