Forum:Black Ops II theme for the wiki

So I was thinking that we should blops2ise our current them. Below is an example of what it would look like. However we need a new wordmark that works with the colours and probably a new background too.

Thoughts? 15:32, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

The "Call of Duty" in the logo is a little hard to read, but other than that, looks fine to me. 15:34, October 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, we'll need to redesign the wordmark. Maybe we could use the CALL OF DUTY from here? 15:37, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

We could possibly use this as the Background, idk about the wordmark yet. 15:34, October 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * The colours might clash too much with that. 15:37, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Remember I need to split in half, and that image looks hard to split and still look good. 15:39, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

I think a new background would be good, maybe with some new features from Black Ops II that looks good in the background area (after the Wikia update). What you showed looks good for color changes and such, and maybe the logo should have "Call of Duty" in a futury-silver and the "No one edits alone" stays the same. 15:36, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

My test wiki can be used as an example of what the wiki will look like. 16:23, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice. --MLGisNot4Me talk 16:40, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've just made a wordmark to match the new theme, it can be seen on the test page. 16:54, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's gorgeous. 17:22, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

 * This looks awesome but pitch black (#000000) isn't the best for website backgrounds, something lighter like #111111 or #151515 would be better I think. Could someone play around with that? 17:20, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll do it now. If people want Admin rights on the test wiki to play around, just say so here. 17:23, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * My eyes were deceiving me, apparently it is #111111 already, my bad. 17:27, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think I changed it seconds before you went to do it :3 17:32, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * fap, however I don't like the blue background. Thoughts? 19:07, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see much problem with it. It's a bit bright, but I don't really see a better alternative. 19:13, October 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * This looks really good. I'd go for this look. 19:01, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Per all, excellent design. But what about the Logo, and all the other shit that could become a problem? -- 18:46, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

I highly Support this, because it looks freaking awesome. Also strangely, considering the timing, this can double as a Halloween theme as well XD. I would also like it if we changed the theme depending on the next game approaching from now on. I believe it's very refreshing and adds something new to this site.. .

Here's what a 1920*1080 wiki page looks like:

 * Yeah, yeah I'd masturbate to that. In all seriousness, looks amazing. 19:25, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

I really do like this. The new logo looks great. Full support. Joe Copp 19:32, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Aweson=me! It looks great! In the words of Ghost; Lets do this! 19:49, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Looks bloody brilliant. Two thumbs up. 20:22, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Wow, this looks amazing. Got Support from me! 20:42, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Currently in the process of fine-tuning some colourings. Please bear with me - it's not just done yet, but hopefully when it is it'll be even better than it is now. 20:44, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

I don't really like it. I'd prefer a greener background but I don't think we can get better than this for BO2. Besides everyone else likes it so I'll bear with it for a year or so. 20:47, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

It looks amazing, I'm fully supporting. 21:03, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

I support this, the orange and black colors make it look well, awesome. 21:17, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Link colour
Orange links? 20:45, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Example? 20:47, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've seen the example and support the Orange. 21:39, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

I think maybe a bluey-white colour will do the trick. It could be distinguished easily and fits with the background. 20:48, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

I say leave it as it is, it doesn't have to match. 20:50, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

In reply to both YL and Batman, I've had all three colors on the test wiki. Orange looks the best imo, with lightish blue coming in a close second. The Darker blue has to go though. 20:54, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

I have one very big gripe with this. Darker backgrounds tend to hurt the eyes over an extended period of time. I would never support changing the background to be this dark. If this does pass then I'll just change it through .css i suppose. --KλT 21:10, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Completely per Kat. One of the main reasons I don't go to the Battlefield Wiki often is because of that awful dark background. I would seriously reconsider editing if we changed to a background that dark. DarkMetroid567Talk 21:45, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
