My quick thought on the test drive... obviously wrong shade of green... looks too much like UAB. With the school making a rebranding effort back to kelly green, I think the board should match. Otherise, do appreciate the rebranding of the board.

T'is the shade of green from this logo:



If you have an updated logo, I'll be more than happy to color match.

Regarding the domain, you'll have to consult GTS, but I'm sure he'd be happy to do something like this:

3rdand20.csnbbs.com

Yeah, I thought it was a bit dark too, but then I looked up MU's appropriate image use page and the colors here and there were identical.

Also, i don't think we need a domain until we can generate more activity. Maybe once we can get posts from 3yrs ago off of the front page.

here's the style guide

Seems like a place where I'd like to crack open a Yuengling or other craft brew -- I like it.

I really like this one. We could just cut it down to "3rd and 20th" maybe? Also, ecuacc4ever, there's a Giovanni's at the corner of 3rd and 20th that I'm almost positive can get you a Yuengling on draft and a few craft brews in the bottle!

My only real recommendation is to change the color to kelly green - the Athletic Department has finally switched back to our real kelly green and fans are pumped about it.

Sounds like my kind of place then...

Someone please post a HEX color value for Kelly Green (or a Pantone value and I'll try to convert).

not very good with code, but here are some swaths





personally I like the first better than the second

Also, I think the colors you have now are fine and match the university standard.

I think 3rd & 20th could be a good short name, but there just seems to be something a bit classy about including ave & street.

Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_green ) actually mentions Marshall under Kelly Green, given as #4CBB17 .

I actually think the HTML based green - #008000 - looks pretty close, but not quite as bright as the listed Kelly Green.

As an outsider, I would prefer "3rd Ave & 20th Street" over "3rd & 20th".

yeah. I was also thinking that 3rd & 20th could become fodder for rivals and become 3rd down & 20 as a joke. Avenue & street mitigate that in my mind.

After looking at that it seems to me that we are using more of an emerald green than a kelly green based on those listed colors.

Agreed.

looks fine live.

And it's live.... been my pleasure to skin a rival's board :)

(please remember to tip the skinmaster waiter -- give him 'reps')

Thanks again!

OT -- I used to work with a Marshall grad when I was employed by the 'Evil Empire' (UNC), so now I need to find this cat somehow can we can go up for an ECU @ Marshall game, then stop by this bar/pub you guys are talking about... sounds like a mighty fine road trip.

Giovanni's is a regional chain; I've got a good friend that works there. It's not too bad of a joint for beer, particularly if you plan on going before/during/after a game - you could throw a rock from the place and hit the stadium (please do not throw rocks at our stadium). I'm not a big fan of their food - mostly crazy greasy pizza, subs, sammiches and your basic bar food noise.

Looks great! Thanks, man!

It does look great! Just sounds like a cool place to hang.
