Redesign this from the ground up. What would you use? Corporate sanitization, and minimalism, or embrace the retards? Maybe a mix of both, or just minimalist Yotsuba?
I would keep it as it is. Maybe add more shading and a drop shadow.
I was making a textboard once a while ago. I think the most important aspect is keeping it simple, yet allowing quick navigation to wherever you want to go. 4chan does that fine, but requires many tabs (if possible in a treestyletab structure) to work efficiently.You don't really want much visual bloat here. Keep it simple and compact (although, understand that people don't like reading very wide paragraphs).

>>423617Thanks doc
>>423598I like wide paragraphs.
>>423683Sure you do honey. Sit back down.
>>423588Give it more of a Skeuomorphic metallic sheen on the logo. Put an inside drop shadow on the text. This would help show the internet that 4chan has been around for a long time and is the last bit of old internet to exist.

>>424926made one better.
>>423588Ground-up is my field. Step one is forgetting the logo and focusing on how to exploit the cultural niche the site represents. Anonymity and memetic repetition are primary themes; the chan format and other modes of discussion (actual convos, baiting/trolling, etc.) are secondary; the history of the board is the least important - it's not a salable brand and if you don't like it buy a pass. >>423598 is on the right track UX-wise by emphasizing post numbers but his UI is fucking garbage and should be almost all in-text without the bullshit. He should also make mockups with text that wraps or breaks instead of imaginary optimal scenarios. >>425339 despite being just a logo this at least thematically understands the piss-bucket functionality of the board. The recycling icon just marginally communicates the repetitive memetic process the board uses to sustain activity. I think the theme could be expanded by considering the zero-accountability post-whatever-the-fuck type attitude of the site. So some sort of piss-in-the-piss-bucket type representation, over just recycling.Everyone else just put forward vapid aesthetic crap and memes so not much discussion or criticism there.

>>425646pretty niceee
>>425537Interesting, I appreciate the actual reply with thought put into it. Do you think leaning into themes of anarchy are too far, or does it just depend on how you go about that?
>>425867 4chan has only ever had delusions of anarchy. There have always been admins/mods that delete posts outside their rules & "standards," and the community has mostly self-regulated itself into essentially polarized theater. A real anarchic environment wouldn't bother calling out reddit spacing or be so defensive about itself. Unless you have other examples in mind, I don't think anything really gets close except /s4s/. The many facets of 8ch were probably more of what you're thinking of. The breadth of the question also depends on if the "ground-up" we care about is just a new wrapper on the standing philosophy or a total rebrand with new marketing targets and identity. The OP is surface-level, and everyone here is just goofing around with clovers and palettes so we're not missing much there.
>>425880
>>425880 Decent. Almost like a barrier reminding me I'm here forever. >>425881 the fuck does this mean though.
>>425903Meme arrow.
>>425904Lame illustrator faffery. Get rid of the paper strip motif if it's not doing anything to articulate a concept.
>>425903means greentext.>>425911thanks for the critique.
>>425913This is generic advice for everyone here. Please take 10 minutes to pencil 25-50 thumbnails before you touch any technology. You can *think* you're fluid in that workspace, but you're just not. Even 30 seconds toyboxing shapes together in illustrator is excessive for what could be a 5 second gestural exercise. If you're going to leap over the thematic foundations of a rebrand in order to fart out logos, you should at least dive deeper into the iterative process of iconography. Thumbnailing is so trivial it shouldn't even constitute advice.
>>423730I laughed
>>423588hmmm? why would I think about anything at all.Also I actually dislike minimalism.
You may wake up after this, call yourself a graphic Designer each time you wake up, but you know, deep down, you will never beat my masterpiece.

>>425919yeah
>>425903>it didn't occur to him
>>4259694chan isn't a pharmacy.
>>425589everybody else going minimalist, well, except for this champion >>424187but i like this. i hate when corporations try to streamline their logo, why does it have to be as minimalist as possible? i like this. >>425843>>425844oooOOOOH but i like this, too. that's really cool.>>425976the clover here is pretty
>>425976Very DIY-esque.I dig it.
>>425974Then why does everyone tell me to take my meds?

>>425339Chuckled internally.
>>425527This is fan4stic!
>>426125this is good, perfect shape for the green things, smallest deviation from perfect circle while still getting the image across
>>426496I suppose "getting the idea across" is more what I meant
>>426496>green thingsWeren't they supposed to be leaves from a clover?
>>426499Looks like chuppa chuppa lollipops
>>426526What does a 4chan-flavored lollipop taste like?
>>426586Vinegary gooch with a hint of feces
>>426594Ugh, thanks, just imagining it makes me want to retch.Just like this site [spoiler]sometimes[/spoiler].Thanks, anon.
>>426594
>>423597like this? its fucking disgusting mate terrible advice, you shouldn't be browsing /gd/
>>426697>>425315I get it, but I think we need to let that joke just breathe a little.Get me a new site that we can compare 4chan to in mockery.

>>425870>The OP is surface-level, and everyone here is just goofing around with clovers and palettes so we're not missing much there.What else would be posted?
>>423588I would have a meta 4chan board and a general lifestyle/daily living boardOh and a social/dating board (not a meetup board but one to talk about seinfeld-tier social rules and stuff
>>425870A real anarchy is ruled by the social norms of the people who inhabit it, rather than rules set from above.4chan is more anarchy than you give it credit
>>428585>ruled by the social norms of the people who inhabit itAren't we ruled by the social norms of the people that inhabit where we live anyway?And do you think that the jannies and mods live by the social norms of the average 4channer?
>>423810bery nice
>>424585Not bait, they're right
the text is vertical to represent 4chan's japanese originsit's off-center position, while bowing left, represents the spectrum of political viewpoints one can find hereit uses comic sans because of the font's infamous reputation onlineit's color is derived from "Yotsuba" quotelinksthe flower is constructed of caret-like symbols with a particular one having it's own color, resembling greentextthis is to show the flower, or product, of 4chan; greentext stories that get posted all over the netultimately it's shape might remind one of a dandelion; a weed everyone knows and is aware of, yet chooses to ignorethis is my redesign
>>428739An effortpost? On my 4chan?
>>428739Where's the gay blowjob?
>>425969I like this one a lot.
Need a logo with a spinning clover.
>>428739damn
straight up this
>>423588Made this a while back on a similar thread. The 4chan logo was made with whatever windows font was available, so I did the same here (montserrat) a basic clean font seen everywhere. The clover is just a play on the existing leaves, and I made several variations by sampling the colors
>>423588Kanagawa >>Tsunami

the 4chan logo looks good because of its use of whitespace and anyone trying to take that away is retarded>>426125wins so far
>>429107here's your whitespace bro
Did my worst
>>425969We already had a winner
>>425976Gives me the same vibe as those Fancy Pants flash games
>>429757Very Y2Kesque.Would this happen to be inspired by a YouTube tutorial, perchance?
>>429758I used to play jet set radio and would beat off to the green girl. or any girl on screen really. unnhh.
>>429760>green girlPoetic choice of words there.
