Forum Spotlight -JoyFreak

How many different logos has your site had?
 
Just like one I think. The logo has stayed the same since but just went through various brand colours and we settled for this one.

I like it here as your Avatar, but I find it a little difficult to distinguish with the colors of your site.

The top is a snip from your site and it's not as clear as the bottom logo from your avatar. Maybe if the logo could be larger it would be clearer?
 
If you don't want to make it larger, you can try adding white to the open space of the logo so it will stand out more?
 
I have to say, I normally don't like forums that don't have the traditional forum layout where you get categories, you click on them, and then you see a list of topics without the actual content shown. But I actually really like the way it's done on JoyFreak. Looks great, especially with the dark theme.

Or perhaps make the four middle dots white and the word Joy white too - scrap grey from the logo pallete and it might look cleaner 🙂
Yes, I might try that. Thank you to both of you for your suggestions! I'll do it over the next few days as I'm pretty busy these days but when I do, I'll let you all know so you can check it out and give me your opinion 🙂

Thank you for your feedback 🙂 Appreciated. Love what you've done with your forums too.

No worries. Your logo is freaking awesome so just think it'd be great to show it off more!

Next question, did you design the logo yourself? 😛

Thank you so much. Yes, I did and I was close enough to scrape the whole thing but some people convinced me not to and I'm glad I didn't in the end.

BTW, @Katrina and @Cumulus , I tried to change the logo based off you suggestions but neither of them looked good on the dark background that the logo is sitting on. White just does not work. I also asked someone else's opinion that was readily available and they agreed it didn't look good with the white and preferred the current logo as it is. I am still open to suggestions and trying things out because I agree, it would look better if the logo stood out and looked more cleaner than it currently is.

Instead of white, why not try a lighter shade of grey? If your background is at 20% grey, then try to make the spaces on your logo 10% grey instead of white. It should be enough to draw out the logo more without making it too obvious.

I tried a lighter shade of grey and anymore lighter than it currently is doesn't look right.

Anyway, I tried to make the dots the same grey colour as "joy" and made the logo slightly bigger. Take a look now. Better to look on desktop than on mobile.

Let me know what you think.

You did it! That looks so much better!! I can see the logo now and it's not just a blob on my screen. I'm looking at it on my laptop.

Aww, honestly, thank you so much for your help! I also agree that it looks so much better now 😀
