Site Style - Your Say

[Admin]

As you can see I have changed the style of the site. You may now be aware that we have several sites that try and cater to all the different needs of aviators. So I needed to standardise them so that they perform the same with the same functions for you the user no matter which site you flick between and myself when performing any enhancement/maintenance etc work on them.

 

As all the sites were different I didn't know which style to pick so I have gone with an easy on the eyes one that you see now but I would like to get any feedback that you may think...I know there will be some that won't like it and some that will but without your feedback I can only go with what I think but I would much prefer to go with what most of you want.

 

The main issue is that I have to actually apply the style for you to use a bit so you can get an idea of whether you like it or not rather than just show screen shots

 

So please have your say...

The colors I thought were to leave The Aussie Aviator RED

 

Recreational Flying having its traditional BLUE

 

Aircraft Pilots ??? maybe ORANGE

 

Clear Prop ??? maybe GREEN

 

I still have some cleaning up to do on the header and the poll, whilst being close at this stage, is looking to favor keeping this style as the standard across all.

Having used it now for a few days, It is a bit "pastel (y)". Very relaxing though, like a hospital. I know because I retrieved my wife from one last Thursday. She's OK. The wallets sick. Nev

Hope Pat is well Nev, please extend our best wishes. Just watch out with that plaster on her foot it will really hurt if she uses it on your ass ... LOL.

 

 

[facthunter]

That'll teach her to not do it. she wouldn't want to damage her foot twice. Nev

 

 

[planedriver]

I'm with Turbo, and find it a bit glarey from what i'm used to. Personally I preferred the blue.

 

Glad to hear your wife's foot is OK Nev. Hope the wallet also makes a speedy recovery, at our age it sometimes takes a little longer than it used to.

 

 

[facthunter]

Thanks Planey. Medical is expensive. The insurance doesn't cover it all. Nev

 

 

[turboplanner]

When did you stop stamping on her foot?

 

 

[fly_tornado]

light colours work for me, maybe rotate the image every few weeks just to keep things interesting

 

 

[facthunter]

Tailwheel pilots do everything correctly with their feet. Nev

 

 

[cscotthendry]

Love the black and red of the Aussie Aviator site

 

For obvious reasons...

look: new logo! click reload whilst holding down shift key

 

 

[Admin]

The poll at the moment is showing a close call with a slight preference towards the new style. But because there isn't much in it perhaps I need to look at something slightly in between the two taking note of:

 

This one is too grey

 

a little too glaring

 

It is a bit "pastel (y)"

 

I know the header logo needs some work as it is too high at the moment to start with

 

I think it really just comes down to the background being just white and perhaps needs a grey tinge like the old style had and leave everything else as it is or just a slight tinker in just a couple of spots...thanks for you help so far
