Forum:Theme

The Call of Duty Wiki's theme and logo are still affiliated Advanced Warfare. That being so, they are outdated since another Call of Duty game (Black Ops III) has already been announced. Additionally, Black Ops III will be released a week and a half from now. So, I'd think this will be the perfect time to upgrade the wiki to a Black Ops III look. Anybody agree?

Do you have any mock-ups. Or is this just putting the general idea out there? Because generally it's better to present some kind of idea else others will need to do the entire design, which in itself takes up a lot of time. 18:26, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

I would like to suggest that any change in the theme not choose red for its link color. Red links are almost wiki-universally understood to be links to pages that don't exist. 19:07, October 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * Some time ago I was toying with some colours on W:C:Imageplacement which used orange as a link colour. 20:36, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

Good question Crazy Sam. Here's my idea: We literally "Paint It Black". We turn the wiki colors from grey and red to black and orange, like how the official Call of Duty website did to their site. The wiki background will change from the AW cover to the Black Ops III cover. And, I know this logo creation wiki that could hook us up with a new logo. I'll put a request in on their site. Sound like a plan? Lakeblood (talk) 20:19, October 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * We're not using a black theme. That was already decided before. The black theme had reported to hurt peoples eyes. 20:36, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

although i dont have a mockup, i have an idea for a theme: an omnipedia-style one. basically, it would look like how ominpedia is supposed to look, like this:



it would feature the omnipedia logo, an omnipedia-style text (if possible), white background, black header, that white background with the spirals, and i guess light blue link colors (have to figure out how to not make that conflict with bureaucrat link colors). just please, if we go through with this, dont make it simply say "omnipedia" or say "omnipedia wiki". make sure its "call of duty wiki".

if not this theme, i guess itd have to be something like lakeblood said. 20:35, October 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * edit: ok, lakebloods theme is out of the question. instead it could be something orange with black only as the headers and such. 20:40, October 30, 2015 (UTC)
