Welcome to a new GTPlanet!

I'm still mad at you for killing the Red Dot logo though.

MWAHAHAHAH!

Damn you! Now I have to do the same…

Mmmm photoshop fancy shading. Very "PlayStation"

It looks like the name badge off a car - like it's been ripped straight off the bootlid.

Very cool. 👍

James2097, I REALLY like what you've suggesting for a new logo! If the same thing could be done to "sharpen" the look of the globe to match the text, I think you may have something...

............ the red dot is no more!!!

 

[G.T]

Nah, I prefer James's logo. Blake's one stands out a little too much IMO.

Still, it looks great though.

 

[Cosmic]

Yo want urban ztyle?

j/k
I have to admit that I love how James re-made the GTplanet.net thing

 

[James2097]

@Cosmic... FOR REALZ!! I'm glad you were joking...

Edit: Quick edit is the BEST new feature IMO. Very very sexy and simple.

[SEARCH]GTP8[/SEARCH] is far neater on the Thread/Tabs for some reason .

The clean white background keeps things focused 👍

Loving the Thread Tools & the Search this Thread, again a Major Boost.

One little thing ; Thread ratings still appear in Subscriptions, though they're seemingly legacy on Thread itself.

Have to add that James2097 is on the correct line w/ the Old/New Logo and his widening the Font.

The Old Favicon used look like a coin, silvery . The new one has too much blend and two cents gets me a car silhouette would seperate from any trash that might be lurking in the window.

A Doubleplus Vectored Experience , Man 👍 👍

the gtp magazine could feature the winners of the photomode polls, blunder or blooper of the week, and member of the week, and stuff along those lines! it would be so cool!

 

[standard235]

Seems to me to be a bit faster between pages... I like the sleek, clean look.


Logged in and went "WTF! SWEET"

Way to go Jordan.


EDIT: Oh, quick edit is killer.

 

['85fierogt]

My first thought was also "sweeeet".

The new look is awesome Jordan.
Thanks for the 10 months of hard work!! 👍

 

[1989therat]

Alright folks, I've had a long hard think about the logo situation. Reading James' insightful post brought back a lot of memories that I have from creating the planet logo. I can recall spending several days crafting it back in '04 - it took forever to reach a collection of dots that looked just right! James even found some new symbolism that I had never even considered (the drilled holes, of example). I was just under the assumption that nobody much cared for the icon - I can't recall ever getting a complement on it before. However, it really has turned into a brand identity, as symbol that we all see as a representation of this community.

I must also agree with a lot of the negative comments on the now-old "red dot" logo. The text looked fat, slow, staunch, and heavy - the exact opposite of this website (hopefully!). With that said, I have decided to return back to the original planet with slightly brighter and bolder text. I think the fact that it looks as brilliant as ever with this new style is a good indication of the logo's strength and aesthetics, and I'm sure that many of you will certainly agree.

(Click refresh if you still see the old "red dot" logo.)

Great new look Jordan. Very easy to use. 👍

Just one slight niggle though.



I didn't know the GT40 was front wheel drive.

 

[James2097]

TVRKing: The rear wheels must be smoking it up so fast that the camera gets that effect of the wheel 'appearing' to be stopped (or not)!

 

[Event]

Did you just say "niggle" TVRKing?

 

[VEXD]

I think i just found that the linx in the store page arent working...

What i mean is, if you go browse the GTP stuff for sale, the links on the left to take you to other areas of the site dont work for me.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, i havent read the thread.

Other than that, im loving this new site!
👍

Wow this place has changed loads whilst I had no net due to the move.

Great job!! 👍 👍

Handbrake

 

[DuckRacer]

Handbrake

The handbrake locks the rear wheels. The GT is rear wheel drive, so no wheels should be spinning.

 

[F1GTR]

I have picture of my R8 locking the rears with the handbrake.

I think you're implying that your R8 was moving when you applied the handbrake. I'm talking about standing still and accelerating with the HB applied.

 

[F1GTR]

That changes it alot

But the GT does look like it's in motion...but the background isn't blurred.

 

[Renault]

That's right, just put some blur to the background and presto you'll be drifting with the HB on.
The page looks great now, sadly now i cant download videos anymore, anyway the only one i wanted was the GT4 intro, wich i got before the change, everything else is great, keep it up

Uh... high shutter speed? 💡

The sortable cart list still has the old menu system on it (which doesn't work):

Who finds the Impreza looks a bit wierd (bit in question circled)

edit: Oops, forgot piccy:

 

[IAmAddictedToGT]

I like the new interface, its much better than before.

It does work, you need to click filter.
