As a little project recently I wanted to do a project (for myself, this is by no means official) of TiBB in which it'd be rebranded and have a logo to use site wise and a new theme to go with that to create a sort of consistent branding rather than a different logo for each theme and home page etc. I'll be adding onto this thread as I create new stuff for it.

I hope you enjoy it, I feel like there's still some tweaks to be made like to the skin, but other than that i'm really quite happy with it. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on it. (Also FYI there's some big pictures in this thread, you've been warned)



Here is my idea for a TiBB logo. 'This is Big Brother' remains in centre stage but is also joined by the acronym we all use- 'TiBB'. The result is a modern logo with a sassy typeface that gives it personality. I didn't use any BB branding materials on it because I want it to be it's own individual thing and suit the whole site, from BB, to Chat and Games, to the Soaps subforum.


Another branding item from the same sort of idea to be used in different parts of the site.

Onto the skin:

A blue, grey and white colour scheme is featured here, giving the skin a clean look.
I've made changes to some of the elements we usually see on skins like colour splash to save space but also give it a more modular and clean appearance. I've used a modern typeface (Gilroy) that is used in two varieties on the skin- Light and Extra Bold. This gives a nice contrast and keeps it legible. I've made changes to the subforum icons in which there is no eye yet and also the BB Designs subforum has been updated to a modern 'flower' made out of the outline of BB eyes. The thread icons has also been updated with a fresh look. The User panel (containing PM's etc.) has also been given a cleaner look with a clearer 'Log Out' button that is usually camoflauged in the top bar on themes like colour splash.


This is the pattern I created for the skin, made up with lighter variants of the TiBB logo text.
(this looks better as a PNG but imgur keeps ****ing it up :/)

I'm going to move on to the homepage and everything and will update the thread with those soon but i'd look to see what you think of what i've done so far.
Thank you for reading

I like huh. Font's a LIIIIIIIIITTLE too close to Courier New (which I dislike) but it's tolerable

Eh?!
I would say it looks like a Futura/Century Gothic hybrid but not courier new
(But thank you )

[Josiah.]

Tom, I love that skin and logo. I would so use that theme.

[Shaun]

Century Gothic's the one I meant, d'oh

I like it a lot, it's definitely something I'd use. I love the idea of having 'TiBB' so prominent, it looks clean and kinda punchy (idk if that's the right word) so as well as being attractive for us because it's how we refer to the site, I think it'd be attractive to people viewing the forum for the first time too.

I like it

[Crimson Dynamo]

Maybe its my eyes but I cant see the LT's weathercentre section in the rebrand?

[Cal.]

I'd definitely use that.

Thank you so much, I know what you mean and that's what I was trying to aim for, like a clean design with punchy/sassy undertones if that makes sense

It's very eye catching, it looks clean and unfussy, well done

[Firewire]

I really like it but I think the font size on the sub-forum titles are too big

It's supposed to make it bold and brash and also like sort of continue the icons of the subforums bc they're the same height (if that makes sense)

Think i'll be doing the homepage next

I like it all apart from the logo

What would you say needs to be improved logo wise?

[Jordan.]

The 'tibb' part looks a bit basic and doesn't really stand out, maybe if it had a shadow effect or some texture it'd look better.
