FWLUG Colours

[Randy]

FWLUG is looking to come up with a set of group colours to be used on the website, promotional materials, banners, etc. This should be limited to a selection of three colours with nothing outrageous. Keep it conservative. I mentioned the following schemes as potentials:

Black, White, Green and Black, White, Blue.

Let's generate some feedback on this so we can come up with a list and start narrowing it down.

Thanks!

Credits and xcf linked to on my blog. Both images under creative commons.

I am not that great at logo's hence the simple text, but I really liked this image and thought it would make a nice banner. Especially if you had a few of these from things around fort worth and then rolled through them.

Looks nice. Now if we can get the numbers and letters to reflect the LUG.

Maybe FWLUG instead of the KTFW. Maybe VFW Post number thrown in there? A Distro(s)?

Whats the 92*1 mean? A radio station?

lol, 92.1 is a fort worth radio station.

The idea was using sites from around Fort Worth as a banner, two the radio stations 92.1 and 95.9. Stockyards, Sundance square, etc.

The colors should be simple to keep the website easier to make and any shirts or hats will be cheaper.

If I'm not mistaken, it's just an example of what can be done.

Looks good - but I'd like to keep this thread on track: Colour suggestions.

I've presented two possibilities - anyone else?

[Insanity5902]

Yeah, I ran across it and wanted to play. I misread the first post and imagine something about banners up there, oops.

I like the lighter color schemes, I think a green and black as your secondary colors could make a very sharp site.

I spent a little time looking at random three-color schemes and came across this combination that doesn't look half bad. Here is the scheme with two examples:



Let me know what you think, or go to http://www.ColorsOnTheWeb.com/colorwheel.asp and see what you can come up with!

No brown please.

While I love Ubuntu, the brown stinks.

http://kuler.adobe.com/ is a great site for color schemes, plug in it a few you like and get the complementary ones or however that color stuff works.

Whoa! Very nice! We're talking serious time waster. I think I could play with this for hours.

Check out "Victorian Rose" at http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/26347. Since I've liked some of the Victorian paint schemes I've seen on "This Old House", I typed "victorian" in the Search field and this is one of the schemes that it found.
