One option for the theme is to take a version of our current background, maybe with more of the official icons, or a version of the one seen on www.destinyislands.com, with the icons in either gray, or blue (Kingdom Hearts), gray/silver (Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories), and red (Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days) [[User: | One option for the theme is to take a version of our current background, maybe with more of the official icons, or a version of the one seen on www.destinyislands.com, with the icons in either gray, or blue (Kingdom Hearts), gray/silver (Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories), and red (Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days) [[User:KeybladeSpyMaster|KeybladeSpyMaster]] ([[User talk:KeybladeSpyMaster|talk]]) 20:06, 31 December 2012 (UTC) | ||

I would have to say that this is my favorite version of the logo; the rough draft of the main page with the new theme installed looks great, and it will look even better once the entire thing is ''KHHD''-ified. All that needs to be done now in my opinion is those pink bars (you'll see what I mean when you look at the rough draft; I understand you obviously couldn't change all of it) need to be turned gray, and I'd really like to see if we could get those group images of Sora, Riku, and Kairi, as well as of Roxas, Axel, and Xion (their ''KHHD'' renders) made to frame the "Welcome to the ''Kingdom Hearts Wiki'' message (they'd be placed on either side of it in my mind, in a similar fashion to Sora and the Meow Wow/Riku and the Komory Bat on the current main page).}} | I would have to say that this is my favorite version of the logo; the rough draft of the main page with the new theme installed looks great, and it will look even better once the entire thing is ''KHHD''-ified.

|text=I personally prefer my logo over Erry's simply because it contrasts better on the page than his. Of course, if that's just my opinion, than I can just change that on my own CSS page.

I also wanted to use this as an opportunity to discuss changes to the main page (since the happenings still say you plan on revamping it). I've noticed everywhere else where this was being discussed, the discussions seem to have died out. Unless you guys are done "revamping" the main page.

One option for the theme is to take a version of our current background, maybe with more of the official icons, or a version of the one seen on www.destinyislands.com, with the icons in either gray, or blue (Kingdom Hearts), gray/silver (Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories), and red (Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days) KeybladeSpyMaster (talk) 20:06, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

The banner that was released for the US/EU KH1.5HD announcement, I managed to produce a seamless pattern from it:
I will help as much as I can since I have my new computer now. Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off. - Erry 17:08, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

I decided to create my own rendition, all in all the same as Jh's but I fixed up the colors (Riku's was a bit too blue and added some contrast to all 3) and gave it a more darker appearance: Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off. - Erry 18:42, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- I like. TheFifteenthMember 18:50, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- And soon implemented it as a theme here. Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off. - Erry 18:57, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- I like. Freezing Cold
- I like most. TheFifteenthMember 21:59, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- Well... this is so awesome... that I think this...
Became useless... It's awesome, Erry. I just think that you could change the background color of Riku's picture to black, white, or grey instead of blue. - MateusinhoEX 14:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Well... this is so awesome... that I think this...
- I like most. TheFifteenthMember 21:59, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
So now, after taking MEX's suggestion, I decided to do a version with a "less-blue" Riku but both having a black/grey background:
The "blue-er" Riku with black background The "less blue-er" Riku with grey-ish background.
Personally, I prefer the less blue-er version... Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off. - Erry 17:45, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
