New Cyclones.com Look

I thought it was interesting to see the new volleyball freshman, Jamie Straube, is from the same town in Nebraska where revkah and I lived for a little bit.

About the same as the 8 different shades of blue on The University of Kansas Official Athletic Site

The point is that ISU's teams all wear a different color of red...Kansas's do not.

Seems weak you would use cyclones.com color variation, considering it is no less color homogeneousness than KU's.
ISU has a good VB team...my point being KU has a good FB team.

edit: I'm still not sure why KU was even brought up...

I see they didn't boot their developers. It looks a little better, but it just went from horrid, to bad. All they did was move the menu items from the side to the top. Then they made the main picture area bigger. The site could be so much better and cleaner. It needs an overhaul, not rearranging. Get a new company, these guys are lazy.

at least it doesnt have the little white dots all over the place from where they missed the fill in mspaint (like the last 3-4 versions).

what kind of old-man resolution do you have? Mine has a huge red border around the whole thing.

The kind of resolution supported by the moniter your tax dollars have paid to be at my desk :tongue:

I could tell it was an ISU page right away because of the 8 different shades of red on the page.

It's called a gradient...

Better than the old one, but could still use improvement. There's still too much going on; I don't know where to look first....

Agree! For example, where do I find info on the Aug. 23 event at the practice facility? Plus, with lots of changing photos and graphics, I'm constantly moving my eye to the latest change instead of being able to search (again) for what I'm looking for.

The gradient explains the 8 shades of red in the border. It doesn't explain the 3 shades of red in the navbar (original background, original font, highlighted background).

Also, none of the colors in the background match the cardinal found in the I-State logo (which doesn't really bother me all that much - I really like those shades of red better than the shade of cardinal found in the logo anyway).

2 Reds would make sense, seeing as how we have 2 reds in the I-State logo

As for the 3rd... I dunno. A Red / Gold changed to Gold/Red when highlighted would be nice, but Gold text is hard to read for a lot of people so that probably was the motivation behind a 3rd red

It's down right now. That's the best version of the site yet. It loads fast and doesn't look like some Japanese Anime site.

They did a clean-up of the site since last week. It might still appear cluttered to some, but the overall appearance looks a lot better since the initial launch.

Might?!!!

Who did they have set this up? Some high school computer club? I would have said frosh comp sci students, but they would have done better...
