^Thanx. I was beginning to think , the idea died.
And i still havent gotten my password after registering. Could you by chance mail it to me again after fixing drupal.

And, please, if possible , get a good skin.

Thanx,
ray

Recommend the skin. I am working on the site.

I like these two from the links given by kalpik.

*alldrupalthemes.com/preview/node/2&theme=adt_bluebusiness

Perhaps, we could use a custom header.
Ill try my hand at making one this evening .

 

[abhinandh]

regarding custom header i too can try make one.but the theme needs to be finalised so we can make one.
what can we have as a caption?

 

[ray|raven]

^No idea. How abt suggesting one?
And what abt a logo?

 

[Sykora]

If people are willing to create artwork, I can do up a drupal theme for it.

 

[abhinandh]

domain is freeme.in right?
can we have just freeme or the whole freeme.in in the logo?

starting now.....

and regarding caption how about "free your computing" or something of that sort?

 

[ray|raven]

^freeme should do i guess.And the caption is too generic IMHO.
Btw, what abt the skins? Should we work for one from scratch like sykora said or just use an existing one.

IMO, a custom skin would be good, considering the site would look unique, but we will need a few guys working.

If folks are interested, i say we go for a custom one.

 

[abhinandh]

ya we need more resources.we can contact dark star.he's good at gimp.


trying out a logo.....(rebooting into win for ps)

 

[ray|raven]

^G'Luck mate. May the force be with you.

I'd have started too, but at work

 

[gary4gar]

I hope The site remains Ad free

 

[mehulved]

There's already a logo we were using. It's based on FSF's logo and has freeme written on it. I have attached it here. You people may have look at it.
I tried the two themes, seems the adt_businessblue theme is only for drupal 5.x my drupal install wasn't able to find it.

 

[ray|raven]

The logo looks kinda ugly, but that's my opinion.
I guess we could use the caption, but the logo definitely needs to be done from scratch.

EDIT:Yeah Bluebusiness is a 5.x theme
*alldrupalthemes.com/bluebusiness.html

Btw, can you modify the poll for custom theme or existing one?

how's it coming on?

take that as an early alpha.

 

[ray|raven]

^Use Inkscape , if you intend to use hand-drawn images and letters.
It helps a lot.

As for the concept itself, I'm not entirely sure if I like it or not.
Maybe some more work will tell.

We will go with amadou since bluebusiness isn't available for 6.x. I have seen quite a few 5.x themes work with 6.x but this one isn't.

how hard i try i can't get comfortable with gimp

 

[ray|raven]

Mehul:
Here's the link of amadou : *drupal.org/project/amadou

Abhinandh:
Gimpshop perhaps?

Also, I was looking around and found this tut.
*danphilibin.com/2007/10/11/how-to-replicate-the-flare-effect-on-wpcustomizationcom/
*danphilibin.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/flare5.png
IMO, It would be nice , if we came up with a round logo to apply this effect.
What do you think?

 

[abhinandh]

^^nice but what to put in the logo.a pigeon maybe?
