Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} So a few of us want to change over the wiki's layout, because the plain blue is getting a bit boring. Azul has given the okay, so I guess we're going to be going with a Days theme. Here's a list of ideas: Switch from a blue theme to an autumn red theme like Days. Get up a timer that counts down to the English release of Days. Switch the Sora, Riku, and Kairi logo for a Roxas, Axel, and Xion one. Perhaps change the ad placement for better convenience if possible. Get a background near the top like on the Final Fantasy Wiki. Maybe we could start adding featured articles, quotes, and other interesting things. Switch the picture in the Twilight Town bulletin board box for a Days image. Change the name of Jiminy's Journal to Roxas's Diary for awhile. Any other ideas or comments are welcome. Let's get this discussion going.

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - {{{time}}} I liek 8D But as I pleaded suggested in BebopKate's page I'm hoping for a light make over, talk bubbles added to a customized background might burninate my computer's chips and that would make me a sad gamer :( If we're having a background change I suggest a solid color, perhaps a light orange/red to go along with the sunset autumn thing, images as backgrounds tend to go ugly on different resolutions and we really can't reach a decision on that one since everyone has different screens XD. I do like the customized background in the top of the FF wiki (as it doesn't make my computer attempt suicide). Perhaps something iconic to KH? Bond of Flame keyblade (since it goes with the autumn feeling) or maybe a Nobody symbol (since the game is mainly about nobodies)? I also vote for something like the random quote thing they have in the FF wiki, that way everyone can get their suggestions and we wouldn't have to limit ourselves to a monthly quote that would require voting.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} I don't think anyone plans on changing the actual background color, white is fine. I just meant at the top like FFWiki did.

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - {{{time}}} Ah well, that sets my heart at peace then. When TNE mentioned the changes in the sims wiki I thought she also meant the whole background change as in that wiki they changed the whole background for green... crystal... thingies... or something like that. But you're right, white is good and noble.

Oh come on, it isn't gonna be as bad as that of the Sims wiki.......... There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne

HeartofOblivion Talk to me! — There was something important... Oh yes! I've decided on the pancakes. Blueberry! Can you get me some cotton candy? Blue, not PINK !!!! I really like the idea of a Roxas, Axel, Xion look. So while I was bored I made these: Just some logos I made. I can make them different if you want to use them or change to certain specifications.

I'll edit it and see the difference. Also see User talk:BebopKate. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne

KrytenKoro - "An education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on." TALK - I would say "KH Wiki" might look better - big K, big H, smaller "Wiki" underneath. Definitely in the KH font, though.

Naw... Trust me, I've tried. Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne

HeartofOblivion Talk to me! — There was something important... Oh yes! I've decided on the pancakes. Blueberry! Can you get me some cotton candy? Blue, not PINK !!!! Like this? Or did you mean the other one? I think it looks a little weird with all that space next to it.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Those images don't really go together well, why not use their faces from the ultimania? It has to look professional though. If nobody has photoshop I can get it done by one of the graphics people on KHI.

I had to get edit conflicted before I could even submit an idea using HeartOfOblivion's idea, n'est-ce pas ? Anyway, here's what I have in mind. Without the KH font, andWith the KH font Which do you think will suit the Days theme better ? Or think we should try something else ? There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - {{{time}}} I was picturing something more like what we have now, simple face shots of the three characters (perhaps from the high quality renders?) so it somehow mirrors the one we have right now

HeartofOblivion Talk to me! — There was something important... Oh yes! I've decided on the pancakes. Blueberry! Can you get me some cotton candy? Blue, not PINK !!!! Here are the other faces that Guardian Soul said we should use: File:New pics.jpg

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} I think we should do something with this: File:WikiLogoTest.png

Wow, c'est magnifique ! Let's use it ! :DDDDDDD I'm as good as new! All my functions have been restored! • TroisNyxÉtienne

I was messing around earlier and made this I tried to recreate as close to the original logo as possible, but hadn't thought of using the Ultimania images. The font isn't the same, but I tried. And I don't know how to insert linebreaks?Oblivionkeeper 04:46, 9 June 2009 (UTC) File:DaysWikiLogo.png

Aw, I want colour ! Like GS' one ! :D There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne

I agree with you. The color certainly looks better. Oblivionkeeper 17:37, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

HeartofOblivion Talk to me! — There was something important... Oh yes! I've decided on the pancakes. Blueberry! Can you get me some cotton candy? Blue, not PINK !!!! Well, I tried again with the pics we now want. I made two because I think it's hard to read the one where the text is right on the pics. File:LOGO nEW.jpg File:LOGO nEW 2.jpg

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - {{{time}}} umh HeartOfOblivion why did you delete my post? Anywayz, perhaps if you try with another font color, something that makes a contrast?

HeartofOblivion Talk to me! — There was something important... Oh yes! I've decided on the pancakes. Blueberry! Can you get me some cotton candy? Blue, not PINK !!!! What post? I have tried with other colors, for instance black won't work because of their robes and white doesn't work either.

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— {{{time}}} Sorry to barge in here. I like GS's images, but maybe in some other "form" that Heart of Oblivion made them... I did this earlier today: (I know that this is not like anyone's been talking about, but like I said, I did this before anyone started talking about the layout.)

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— {{{time}}} I just did another one with GS's images:

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} I think I'll just get a GFX artist to do one for us.

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— {{{time}}} that's be cool! but I still like your one, but with "Kingdom hearts Wiki" added.

Nitrous X Talk! — Then I shall make you see...That your hopes are nothing. Nothing but a mere illusion! Don't I even warrant a hello, Lexaeus? That would be cool, but I think that the one we use should have close up face shots like the one we have now, so that it looks like the exact opposite, since they're nobodies. P.S. Do you know when this will be completed?

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} I have someone working on the logo, but Azul hasn't been around since Monday.

Trying Again

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - 17:17, 7 August 2009 (UTC) I think we left this die, should we start again?

 

BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...01:55, 10 August 2009 (UTC) This might be a better time to work on it, since it's closer to the American release. I've seen various logos running around...maybe someone wants to set up a sub-page with a poll and we can start from there?

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} I don't want to hurt feelings here, but I really don't think that any of the current logos that have been posted here are good enough to be the official site logo. Out of all of our affiliates, do we not have anyone to make a good quality logo for us? Who made the logo for the FF wiki? Perhaps I'll just have to ask around more.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Ah, guys, I've got a buddy of mine working something right now. I'm helping him work on it and I think it's going to come out great. It should be finished soon.

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 15:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC) I think that we should have a poll, like BebopKate suggested! does anyone else want that? I also think that we should just have a logo that's "simple and clean" :P like the french Wiki logo for example: clicky me! I recolored that logo red, and then I made another one with some shadow. here they are: (I don't have them a part of my talkbubble so the difference/shadow can be seen!)

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 15:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC) if we'll open up a poll, I'm gonna nominate those two*! *only the shadowy one if I can only nominate one :P

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Above is a screenshot of the wiki with a Roxas logo applied, that I think looks really great just like that. However, regardless of how good it might look, I suppose "Kingdom Hearts Wiki" must be written on it, so I plan to get "Kingdom Hearts" written across the top where his hair is using the font from the official Kingdom Hearts logo, faded in red to match the theme, and then just write wiki under that. I just need my friend to come online to finish the job, my internet crashed last night before I could get him to do it. Let me know what you think. (I'd also like to know if writing the name of the wiki is absolutely necessary for the logo, since it does say the name of our wiki in the option list below anyhow. If we can do without the text, I think it would look fine with just Roxas's face.)

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 18:50, 10 August 2009 (UTC) It looks good, GS. I think that we should have the text, because it kind of gets across that it's the way back to our "Home Page." @Xiggie: I like yours, but should we really have something so similar to what the French KH Wiki has?

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Well, I'll just wait for my friend to add the text, and I'll post it as soon as I can.

Azul81677 - "Ebil minds think ebily alike." - A collaboration between 2 very ebil minds TALK - 19:31, 10 August 2009 (UTC) I think we should wait for the logo from GS' friend. But, I mean it'll only be a month if we need to use the French KHWiki's logo.

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 19:53, 10 August 2009 (UTC) I like yours GS, but I think that it is just too simple! I mean... it's just Roxas' face in black 'n' white! I think that adding "Kingdom Hearts Wiki" is absolutely necessary, and it will probably make it less "plain"... I personally think that having a logo similar to the french KH Wiki is OK, and like Azul said, it'll only be for a month... and it's not like they'll "sue" us or something :P

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Simple is good, and like I said, I was planning on getting the text done from the beginning. I personally don't care for the logo that the french wiki is using, and I also have to point out that the edges of the logo are sort of bad quality. Perhaps I'm just being picky, but either way, take into consideration that this is a Days theme, Roxas is more fitting.

Ultima - Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. I personally love the logo we are using right now. -08:26, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

KrytenKoro - Most bears were content to live their lives, mauling and eating one, maybe two humans at most. "Mass-murder," as the bears always said, "is for the sharks." But not Barry. Barry was different. He knew that one day, he would kill ALL of the humans. This is the inspiring, tear-jerking story of one bear and the dream he dared to dream. TALK - For "Wiki", use an upside-down m, and the i and k from the kingdom hearts logo. It'll look more continuous that way.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 17:06, 11 August 2009 (UTC) I turned that horizontal line into a heading so that the editing window will load faster. Just thought I'd let ya'll know. ;)

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} I got one made that looks just like the one we have now but in red.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} This is a Days theme though so I think it would make more sense to at least have Roxas in there. I'll have the other choices posted soon, but there really isn't any rush. I think someone should be looking into how we can get that countdown timer up right now.

Eternal Nothingness XIII - The three of us can never be torn apart, all right? I'll always find a way. TALK - When I really need you, Ven, I know you'll be there. — 18:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC) While this is "Admin Talk", I wanted to voice my opinion. Possibly add Roxas, Xion, and Axel to what we have like the long one with the Coded and BBS characters we had the other year? And maybe we could make this more Days-like by changing color and by removing Kairi and making Riku the Blindfold Riku?

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 19:33, 11 August 2009 (UTC) I'll ping ILHI about the countdown.

Eternal Nothingness XIII - Ven, Aqua... I'll find some way to make things right. TALK - This light... it's so warm. — 19:51, 11 August 2009 (UTC) I had given an embed code for a Days Coutndown....but apparently we don't use these?

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 02:41, 12 August 2009 (UTC) Thanks ILHI! You're incredible knowledge of coding has proven helpful and amazing once again.

KrytenKoro - "I'm the doctor, I'm the patient. Don't forget that - it's important! If you love me like I love me, everybody will be sorry." TALK - 02:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC) Something else I'd really like us to implement is like this. Do you see how it has logos in the top right to show which games it has appeared in? We could really use that.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Okay, so we have a timer figured out, and yeah, that feature would be just swell KK. Below is another logo that I created just messing around. I can probably get some work done to it, and it needs 'wiki' written in it, but I thought I might as well show it off as an idea.

KrytenKoro - Click TALK - Once it has "Wiki" added in the KH font, I think it would look perfect.

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - 16:11, 12 August 2009 (UTC) Well that's more or less what I had in mind. I like it a lot ^^

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 20:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC) I like this one the best! :P just needs "Wiki" on it! oh, and about the countdown... all I see is an empty box... damm my mac!

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 23:34, 22 August 2009 (UTC) Ok, so it seems like we've got it all ready, minus a logo with the word "Wiki" on it. Would someone mind putting it all together once GS gets that logo done? Also, how long should we keep this theme going? I don't think that we should just revert back as soon as October comes, as people will be coming here for Days information for at least several weeks after the NA release of Days.
