Damn... i just wasted 10 seconds of my life looking for something interesting in the status updates.
Anyway, the icons next to the topics look great and the WiiU game case style top works well,

It looks way better. My only problem is the banner you should make it something more general to appeal to most people on this forum, like super smash bros characters.

A picture like this shows that we are a Nintendo Community. And we stay together in these forums. It also appeals to Nintendo fans more than the other picture.

I nominate to be Luigi at the top

Maybe with the "Wii U News" section, instead of having the same papers icon the feedback section does, you have a little broadcast tower icon, just another little thing that might be cool.

I started messing around with the "Featured Wii U Game" section and came up with this. i'm still trying to see how the bottom part will work with this new change. Do you welcome this change or do you like the old one better? Sorry it's Photobucket quality I'm not ready to update it on DeviantArt yet.

[Mensrea]

[Robotic Sunshine Commander]

Hello Cerberuz and all,

I remade your mockup (hope you don't mind) according to what I'd like for it to look like. Cerberuz, I really like your design. It's clean, simple and sharp. But there were some elements in it that I didn't like, so I made my own version using your basic concept. While making this, I kept the Wii U's interface in mind. http://www.gameranx....un/miiverse.jpg The checkered background and rounded edges of the boxes have been implemented into my design.

I know some of you may not like it, but I'd also like to have some opinions on mine.



The changes:

- Made the logo white instead of grey. Grey on blue is kind of unreadable.
- Added small drop shadows on the text in the banner.
- Changed the font from Continuum to Avenir. (It looks better in small print, and it's the font that Nintendo uses on their websites/ads.)
- Made the blue a little more greenish (like the color that they use on the official Wii U Box art.)
- Added a gradient to the banner to make it look 3D.
- Made the "featured game" bigger and added "Featured Game [Game Name, Date, Company]" text
- Changed the background from black to a light checkered background.
- Made some elements match the banner.

So, that's pretty much it.

Thank you for reading this, and don't forget to state an opinion

Love the improvements.

I really think that would attract more people to use these forums with this style.


I'm all for it!

The things I liked were the change in font color for the title, and the notification change. Other than that I didn't noticed much that caught my eye as an improvement. The background change as a tile alternating color I think seems weird and less solid for the design IMO, and the featured game title was a nice touch but I didn't like how zoomed in it was, I liked in cerberuz's that it didn't take the whole screen and that it gave a 3D effect and also had a curved bottom.
Nice job though!

I like how both of them have my username on the online users.

[gregoryorizal]

I love the icons next to the topics

[Hinkik]

Too bad though, I don't think we can apply this without making the forum software completely from scratch.

[Lord Pickleton]

For now I will just update the Original Post with the some small changes including the new Design for the "Featured Wii U Game" and putting the Games logo on the opposite side of the search bar like I have been doing with my signatures for some time.

I also changed the game to Pikmin 3 since some of you wanted to see it.

Right now I'm thinking if I should make a thread with more of the signatures I made.

The thread with my signatures is right Here
