Join us today at the Kitely Community Meeting (Mar 19)

Post by Ilan Tochner »

Today's Kitely Community Meeting will be held at 1:00pm PST in Kitely Welcome Center.

We'll start with a status update about the Kitely Market Hypergrid Delivery System beta and the Kitely Welcome Center update project.

We'll continue by discussing a site redesign project now that we have a new logo.

Finally, we'll discuss your feedback and feature requests.

This is the logo that won the logo design contest:

My apologies, but over the next few weeks I will be unable to attend these meetings.

For the draft website, could I suggest simply replacing the current logo with the new one and leaving everything else alone? That in itself will probably help to modernise the appearance without causing too much of a clash with the rest of the current design.

========
Edited to add: I've just tried this, and it doesn't look too bad. The different blues aren't so obvious as they are in the draft website image above.

And because the new logo uses a sans typeface, it better matches the standard fonts used in the rest of the website than the old Cooper Black logo.

Thank you Dot,

We've already integrated the logo in our current design, it will be visible in our next site update (tomorrow).

We've decided to forgo making additional changes to our website design until we get a full redesign plan we like from a professional graphics designer.
