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.
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.

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.
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.

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..........

I really like the idea of a Roxas, Axel, Xion look. So while I was bored I made these:
Which do you think will suit the Days theme better ? Or think we should try something else ?

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

Here are the other faces that Guardian Soul said we should use:

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)

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)

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.
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.
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

I think we left this die, should we start again?

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?
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.
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.
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!)

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.)

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?
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
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)

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.

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!

I'll ping ILHI about the countdown.

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.
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 - "It's always best when the other chap is willing to die for his beliefs; you both have the same goal in mind." TALK -
Once it has "Wiki" added in the KH font, I think it would look perfect.
Sorry to barge in here.
I think that we should have a poll, like BebopKate suggested! does anyone else want that?
