I was bored and I had Photoshop and Macrumors open.

Hi guys,

I thought I would post this macrumors redesign just for kicks

Its a quick mockup based on a striped tshirt I had as a kid in the 80s.

Happy new year. Enjoy.

Looks cool; I like it.

Looks like a blog instead of an actual website.

 

[QuarterSwede]

I like the look (it's a lot better than what we have now!) but there is a heck of a lot of dead space in the header. That would need to be fixed.

 

[daveylp]

thanks guys!

you're right, the header space needs a little work, i love whitespace but it just doesn't flow exactly how i want it.

macrumors is great like it is, but its nice to have a little fun with it

I always thought macrumors needed a change in looks

They changed to that stupid looking Apple logo about 6 or 7 years ago (IIRC).. probably to minimize the chance of getting sued by Apple lol.

(and by this, I'm referring to the current logo that looks like a really strange post it note thumb-tacked at the bottom)

I like the logo. The question mark is quite relevant considering this is a rumours site.

 

[daveylp]

The current logo looks like - and im sorry for those that don't see it, but you will now - someone who is sucking something sour. The apple seeds look like eyes to me haha

Very nice. Good work

You need not worry, arn would fill that space up with something.

I like it a lot

Believe it or not, but I had been coming here nearly a year before I even saw the '?' in the logo.

Of all the mockups of new looks for MR, this is far and away the most unique. Kudos to you for that!

That's mostly what MacRumors is; It's an Apple blog.

I like the nostalgic look.. Too much whitespace in the header, but otherwise cool.

 

[R94N]

Not bad, better than my Photoshop skills. I can barely even do the basic stuff.

 

[noaccess]

I really like it

Didn't notice this until you pointed it out.

Got to pay for the site somehow. Good point!

me too lol

That was the first thing I noticed. It's always ticked me off that the apple doesn't quite look like an apple. Ah well.

Nice job! I really dig the retro Apple logo, although I have a feeling it'd have the stupid lawyers knocking on arn's door in no time at all.
