logo/design
Right, so I'm not in CSNbbs skunkworks or anything, but I messed around with the website a little bit, as well as made a new logo. I'm hoping some improvements to the look of the site would help to convince some of y'all to come on over.

My proposed new thedukesdomain.com logo:

The Harrisonburg star and the crown on the D are nice additions. It still doesn't solve the problem of DD "puking up Virginia" even though I don't know how anyone can perceive it that way. When I first looked at it, I saw part of VA in his mouth.

RE: logo/design
What about a darker purple a la our JMU BBALL jerseys. The current color scheme is the old school look IMO.

RE: logo/design
Right, jmufan, and GTS would approve it, but my understanding is that one can use the logo as long as it isn't coupled with the name of the school.

revised logo w/ wilson hall, new colors:

what the current site would look like with revised colors (kinda):

For GTS reference:
purple: #332a87
gold: #cbb778

RE: logo/design
Personally I like the one with Virginia, but others have stated that the reason they didn't want Virginia there was because they thought that we needed to appear more national instead of just Virginia. What are everyone else's thoughts?

I think the Virginia needs to be removed from the Duke Dog's mouth as JMU reaches beyond Virginia. I also like the colors that were posted in a few posts prior to this one. If we can do the above then this will look awesome. Can't wait to get this board really active.

Yep. It's better without the state map, though it was a good thought. Cleaner, better view of the beloved Wilson hall.

I vote for this one. whatever that's worth... ha

RE: logo/design
The latest color scheme does look really good. Can totally understand why people want to get rid of the Virginia logo as well.
