What about A? Here's a look at how it would look on a new redesign:

Spoiler!

Poor, poor "puck calgary", nobody likes the dyslexic kid.

[djsFlames]

Come to think of it, I'd really like A if it had an interesting visual banner behind it, like a faded photo of flames players or the city.

Edit: @muta, haha exactly. I wrote this before seeing your post.

Option C needs the words "Calgarypuck" or "Calgarypuck.com" somewhere.

[FireFly]

I think there's too many current options. I voted for three of them but think that you should have a runoff vote.

Is the forum redesign (I assume colors, fonts etc get redone) potentially going to switch to a black background/white text? Would obviously effect the logo type and coloring.

[Erick Estrada]

Really tough decision. All the designs were really well done.

Not if I'm doing it

Most likely will be light background with dark text.

My 2c.....it used to be option E, but actually Option K as the main logo, with A as a secondary logo would be great.

To tie them together, use the "flame" design from option A, inside the circle in option K. For pages that just need a wordmark/logo, use option A, as is.

Fair enough...though an updated text font, maybe some updated colors (for quotes etc) and shading, would refresh things significantly.

More or less, this forum, even through the totally different software and server changes in July 2004 and a couple more times since, has looked the same since I joined here 12 years ago.

Haha I understand. I'm not a great web designer though but if someone else made a theme implementing it in the forum software can be a nightmare! So always found a reason to put it off.

But I've found a few good Xenforo themes that look pretty modern.

I was even looking at Google Fonts for the current forum since the last Chrome update makes Verdana links look stupid, was going to just switch to Open Sans.

I just spent five minutes on Tapatalk app trying to figure out how to vote for a design on the page linked in the OP, only to finally realize the poll itself is already embedded within this thread.

D'oh!

[AC]

I think my issue with K is that the flame and tower seem really crooked to me. I think if the flame was rotated a bit like so, it would work much better.

G or K!

[Stormchaser]

Option E for me as well. Love the Colors on the inside.

[Party Elephant]

Seems we have a "split" vote

[StrykerSteve]

I haven't voted yet. How long does the poll run?

[Anduril]

I anticipate a run off, with a chance for the next round contestants either getting a test photo with a proper theme and/or a chance for any adjustments.

[Da_Chief]

I voted for all of the above. I can't lose.

[Itse]

Is there a chance we could still get G fixed?

Says "Calgary Puck" (instead of Calgarypuck) I believe because it's a variation of an earlier version of J (that had the same problem).
