« on: April 19, 2010, 03:48:38 PM »Might I suggest a few less specifics... like for instance, you want rounded corners and NO boxes... That may turn a lot of people off who don't know how to do rounded corners, as it's a bit of CSS work to get right in most browsers. Rethinking might get some attention.
I should clarify on that. I don't mean ALL rounded corners, just in general. Kind of like this forum. There are a lot of rounded corners, but there are also some boxes.
I'm not that great at an entire website design, but I would LOVE to make the logo.
Experimenting with the "peeled-sticker" effect sounds fun. Please give me some time, though, as I am very busy with school and stuff.
If you just want to make certain parts of the site, that is fine too. I have no problem taking individual submissions and pulling them together to make a complete design.
Also, when I said "Wow, no one is interested?" I wasn't expecting quick submissions, but I did think that there would be at least a few people who'd say they were willing to give it a shot.

Wow, no one is interested? Usually when Martin or Jesse have a contest to design a logo, they get flooded with submissions!

I have been looking for a new design for TWCC for about a year now. So far I've come up empty. Sure, I've found a lot of things I like on sites, but I haven't been able to pin down an overall design or theme. And that includes looking at pre-made templates that you can download for free or a fee. Seeing as how there are a lot of talented artists here, I thought I'd open it up to all of you. Here's what I'm looking for...
- The overall design should be clean (not cramped or cluttered) and look professional (no designs in Paint).
- Medium-sized round corners, curvy edges, and slanted edges are cool. Anything but boxes!
- The color scheme should be warm and welcoming (maybe orange and blue).
- Subtle nods to TWC and/or weather would be nice (the isobars in the WeatherSTAR XL V1 are an example of a "subtle" nod to weather).
- For the logo, I was thinking about a slightly pealed blue sticker with "TWCC" in it (there are tons of PS tutorials on this). But that's just an idea.
- The logo should allow subtle nods to holidays to be incorporated as needed (like the forum logo here).
- Items in the layout (ie. search, navigation links, etc) should stay where they are when possible.
So if you're interested, please post your ideas here (or send me a PM)! I'll keep the contest open until I find a design I like. If you have any questions, let me know. I look forward to seeing what you can come up with! Thanks!!

« on: April 17, 2010, 03:01:27 PM »Matt, is it okay if you turn the messaging system on to where you can at least view archived messages? I remember asking someone about tuner help in 2008 via PM and it would help me again today.Sure. I've turned it back on. I wanted to turn off sending messages, but didn't want to turn off reading them. Guess it's all or nothing.

Okay, I've updated the list. A special thanks to LOT8s for finally identifying "Just Standing Around" by Ron Fattorusso. I love that song! There were two IDs, though, that I'm confused about.
041030 2359 was ID'd as "Sunday" by Moby, but it doesn't sound like the other "Sunday" clips. Matter of fact, it doesn't sound like Moby at all.
030810 1018 was ID'd as "Tradewinds" by Eddie Reasoner. This doesn't sound like "Tradewinds." Though it does sound like Eddie.

I don't expect anyone here to know any of the songs during the classic years, but I have 143 unknowns from the recent years. If you have some free time and know "today" music well, please check out my "Name That Tune" page. If you can identify any of the songs, please let me know. Thanks!

General Discussion / Re: Conan O'Brien Moving To TBS
« on: April 12, 2010, 03:25:53 PM »
Awesome!! Hope he goes back to his roots (ala Late Night With Conan O'Brien)! Kind of lame landing on TBS, but it's definitely better than nothing. At least now their slogan (ie. "Very funny") will be true.
