It's not, afaik.
I'm very likely to have it animated at some point, but for the sake of getting the site launched (I need to write a php blog without sql on top of getting everything else looking good <_<) It'll be static for a while.

Looks like a toss up between 1 and 3 at the moment..

1 just means so much more, I mean, it's an oxymoron, you wouldn't intentionally design one bar of signal would you? It's poetic and I like it best.

Yep, 1 sounds much more professional.

He should go somewhere inbetween.
Like this:

1Bar
Design

Sort of like

Bethesda
Softworks

or

Blizzard
Entertainment



We'll lovingly call it 1Bar, but its full name is 1Bar Design, sort of like a last name.

Kind of like
1up
Uh..
...
...Wait, there is no second part.

he's 1up'd, perhaps.

Also mmn, that could be a good idea. I'll play around with the typography. I suppose I'll go with design for now, and do a review when it comes to doing the paperwork..

I was implying that you don't need a second part. 1bar sounds perfect like that.

You can remember it easily, doesn't take long to type, sound nice and short.
Also, when you review a game (If your gonna be doing that type of thing), you should say it got 1bar'd at the top, sort of like a sign showing that 1bar reviewed it.

E: Oh...
I see...
I'm playing your game, and you went with 1bar games.






Fine.

No. 1BarGames is what he originally had.

I might go with the 1Bar thing when I review it, I kinda like it.
However, it's just gone 12 and I'm about to go to bed.

Any comments on the new site? Names that haven't been changed, typos, idiocies?
Everything is heavily WIP, I've still got to add ilopocalypse to the games page, and I've still got to do all the php for the site, code a blog and maybe a forum (no sql available for the moment) but for a night's work I'm not too fussed.

No mySQL? Seriously? What kind of webhost are you on?

[criticism]
All Caps Header links with the rollover underline (HOME, GAMES) are very 2001.
Also, more space 'tween them.
The logo could be a tad bigger, I think.
Copyright could be smaller, and in a lighter color.
The clicked-through color on the sidebar links is a tad pale, but not too bad.
Again, I think that underline rollover links taste like 2001.
on "Cool people", "people" should be capitalized.
Your logo has much more empty space below it than above it.
It would be cool if you could get the underscore to blink, à la Unix.
[/criticism]
I feel like a bit of really pale color somewhere could really make the page pop, but I don't know where.

Oh god why am I still up?

I'm on the free kind of webhost. I'll pay for a database as soon as I've got anything that really needs it, but it could be fun to code a flatfile forum/blog anyway.

Thanks heaps for the criticism, very helpful. This is my first web design project in ♥♥♥♥ ages, so that's likely where I've picked up some of these 2001 habits you speak of.
I'll go fix the random assorted messups (lack of title-casing on Cool People, idiot lack of space on the menubar etc) and I'll think about taking away the rollover underscores too, though I kind of like them.
I'll definitely fade back the copyright line soon, but it's there as a reminder to me that everything is WIP.

I also like the idea of a blinking underscore, I've got a few gifs of the old logo with it, and it would probably bring it to life quite a lot more.

I'm still pondering over detailing colours. I've dropped the colours I was going to go with almost completely, so I might bring back pastel shades of them (gameboy green and a lurid purpley shade for contrast) and see how it looks.

That'll happen after tomorrow does though, jesus I need sleep. Thanks for going in-depth though.

np. I hope I didn't seem like too much of a ♥♥♥♥♥.

Needs a thing on the side that has games in progress, completed game, yada yada yada.
Sort of like HI.
Maybe latest blog post links. Make it look more fancy!

Animu i drew ages ago. I don't know why i'm posting.

derp.

Not at all. Hopefully it's a little better now, the menubar up the top is in no way near finished though, just a placeholder.
What is HI? Blog is coming soon, I haven't coded it yet!

Logo too big on home?
