RAK1 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) I'm putting this on here, as it is indirectly linked to gigs. This year, I want to get the flag to EVERY gig, wherever it is. So, at the moment, I've been through these shows, and as long as the people I've seen attending are amenable, we can get it to ALL the gigs. Just 1 is the stumbling block, and that's the first one at Berlin! I'm hoping that in the next week or so, someone might be going from Berlin to Amsterdam. That way the problem will be solved.

Bright blue/turquoise and purple and black? Nice Mika is:mf_rosetinted: Actually that is so true. I'm sure he'd happily be in charge of it, he's not much else to do has he? Or the management......

RAK1 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Are you doing a new one with new colours penguin? WHAT!!! I wish someone would tell me these things! Well at the moment he'll have to put up with this one for the acoustic tour! Let me know what colours and the logo is, and I'll get another one done before the album comes out.

I do like the new mika website colours. serious. but I agree with silver, mfc's old yellow looks has the taste of good ol' things, and a flavour that's more than pure layout appearence..

silver Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think we could replace the brown with the turquoise - that should work OK with the orange - but designers (?) need to remember that this is a forum where people need to be able to read the posts clearly and not be distracted by bright colours.

I'm not bothered by the colours, but then my sight's fine. for some people may not be the same.. are they gonna make the 2 places match overall, or completely..? I guess it's known yet, right?

Yes, that's something we really want to keep in mind. The biggest thing about this site is that while the brown/orange/beige isn't sexy, it's very, very readable. I think most people can sit on MFC for hours without getting eye strain. We'll definitely be conscious of that when thinking of how to implement Mika's new colours.

lollipop_monkey Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Will we know before September? Yes. So go ahead with the traditional colours for the acoustic tour flag, and we'll make sure we've got everything sorted in time for new flags to be created with the new colours well in advance of whatever tour accompanies the release of the full album.

dcdeb Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 No! Don't change our colours! We need to retain our independence. I don't want to be swallowed up by a record company. We will still retain our independence, silver -- we're just looking at bringing our colors more in line with Mikasounds.com, so the transition between the two sites isn't so jarring. I'm not bothered by the colours, but then my sight's fine. for some people may not be the same.. are they gonna make the 2 places match overall, or completely..? I guess it's known yet, right? I don't think the goal is to match exactly -- it's just that our yellow/orange/ brown scheme doesn't exactly jive with Mikasounds purple/turquoise/black. Believe me, I don't think any of us want the black text boxes that Mikasounds has now -- way too hard on the eyes. But maybe something less yellow/orange...
