well, the colors on the website right now are not helping

I think you should go for a navy color backround and light orange text.

I love blue and orange, especially together. And it would look just pristine on your arcade

and

Good luck with the arcade site

by chance can you get the html color code numbers for me?

there are so many different colors of each. thanks for your review.

No offense but I don't find the colors attractive in any way. You need to livin it up a bit and use less gray or more of say a blue or a red. Livin it up!

I didn't get a chance to see it before, but I like the new color layout. I don't usually go for yellow & orange, but it looks good with the screenshots for your games.

A new color scheme will be good but also :

- i would change the color of the borders.
- i would change that default blue link text color
- i would improve the header a bit - that logo is just too big.
- i would also add a doctype

and the list can go on but you did a decent job so far.

All the best,

SW

Change your site to a black and red site, or black and green. Also the header looks good but it is just way too low in quality

deet · 09-08-2005, 02:25 PM

Thanks for the reviews.

legend2 · 09-12-2005, 11:47 AM

i say the light orange background should become white

deet · 09-12-2005, 05:21 PM

I may give that a try.
I'm just not happy with the current color layout.

usmc_C_Co · 09-12-2005, 09:51 PM

well since we are going to consider the name DarkFuel....I picture a dark grey such as a #333333 - 666666 ish range for the background, and maybe for the lettering of the logo a medium/ dark red, blue or green. Red would work more for a dark as in scary look, the blue for more of a techy dark look, and the green because the fuel image in my mind makes my think of some green ooze coming from like an xbox or something. like alien blood or something. i dunno.

Then with any of these, you must accomidate a more tactful navigation and gui. maybe instead of just using the typewriter font for GAMES WITH HORSEPOWER...try something thats like coming out of the background making it look like it punching through (NOT EMBOSSED OR BEVELED THOUGH). Maybe make it look like its being blown away by adding lines to it. Get creative.

Ozzy · 09-13-2005, 03:48 AM

I actually love the current colours. The brightness fits really well with the theme of the site. Keep up the good work!

LeetPCUser · 09-13-2005, 05:22 AM

Blue and orange would work or if you want to keep the yellow background you could always go with the navy and yellow theme. There are pages on the internet that tell you what colors will blend well.
