Redesign: PA Portal

Latest attempt at the front end portal design.

New Skin: Cathaar

After doing a thrashing out a quick Terran Skin, I thought I would see if I could come up with something different.

Cathaar Skin:

As with all things this is the first draft.

Alliance Logos

I posted a thread on the PA forums, where I offered my services to create alliance logos and banners.

Easy Company (EC):

#11 is looking like the best one.

Destiny:

the would be #8 looks pretty good.

The Galactic Vikings:

This is still being worked on.

The Farnborough Crew (F-Crew):

-Still in production-

New Skin: Terran

So I literally threw together a test skin for terran, using the new terran logo as a base.

Terran Skin:

Its by no means finished, as it only took an hour or so.

One thing am am looking into, is perhaps splitting the menu is to 2 columns and giving each link a small image of what the link represents (including the name of the link).

Classic Skin: Round 3

The current set of skins for PA are at best average, and some of the best ones from the classic era have been lost.

However after finding enough R3 screenshots, I was able to construct a working template which also fits the new width requirements of Current PA.

Overview:

In Game Forum:

As you can see its wider than the original, but keeps alot of its charm.

I sent Cin a copy of the above, so hopefully it will be installed soon.

I am in the process of recreating the round 5 skin, so keep a watchful eye on this blog.

New Race Logos

I wanted to give each race a logo which portrays, to some extent, who they are.

The below image are the latest ones to be released.

I'm happy with all designs apart from the Eitraides, mainly because they have very little background info other than they bought/stole technology from the other races, so more thinking will needed on that design.

I think my personal favourite is the Terran Federation, especially considering my early designs. My second would be the swashbuckling Zikonian Collective, pretty awesome pirate inspired design (it may need to be a bit more red).

Below is my first set and you will agree that all the above are far better.

Welcome
