Misc UNEASY stuff

We interrupting normal posting to bring you this short message of some housekeeping / misc items:
- Logo RIP?: After three years we are looking to clean up the logo a bit (more on that later today) to give us a modern look (The “beta” logo has actually been in place for the last three days now). But that logo is NOT necessarily final, matter of fact I open up the logo design to ANY uneasy reader. If you have any design skills and want to change the logo of the site drop us an email
- Go Speed Racer: We recently upgraded to SSL and found that it had some real nasty side effects on the site, mainly hurting the commenting system. So it had to go! With much help from Mosso (basically undoing all the hacked up miserable coding I did), the site is back to its full potential. So all the technical goofs in the last week and a half are all my fault (Who knew that 127.0.0.1 caused a loopback :P)
- You Got The Beat: The Beat comment page has quickly become almost the most popular page on UNEASYsilence. We are glad you liked it as much as we do
- More means MORE: It took a long time for Derek and I to figure out how to get the “MORE” button to do what we want, but now when you click more – you actually get what you expect
This was just to tidy up a few changes over the last few days, and we have two other really exciting tidbits that we’ll divulge later today.
Wow, I hate that new logo.
I love when readers say they “Hate” something and offer no suggestions.
Dan-
I like the new logo, just i think it could be improved. It looks just a bit too machined imho. What i liked about the last one was the action that accompanied it.
and just as a PS; I would like to comment on how amazing this site has changed since you guys started. I was reading this since the ORIGINAL layout, about 2 weeks into starting it, and it’s truly incredible the progress you guys have made. GREAT job, easily the most read site of my day
Emory – Thx.
The logo is in progress, but changing – and yes the layouts have come far. Derek is a magician!
I really prefer the old logo… the new one looks like a bank to me (don’t know why)…
I like it.
no contest for a good logo? why not offer a wii?
also, how long before you guys actually pick one?
I just wanted to quickly comment and say that I agree with Emory. And as for alej744 if you actually read it he said its not necessarily the end product.
Also that, like Emory I’ve been reading this site since the original layout and I literally check my RSS subscription to Uneasy more then I check my email.
Cheers to Uneasysilence!
What do you mean crave?
when will you guys be picking a logo. i might work on one if i have time.
Its on ongoing thing… Design away
yo…so walking down the street today I see a cab with an uneasy marquee on top – complete with logo & electronic sign w/ site…name…etc.. I didn’t even realize you guys were doing advertising for the site like that… I was pretty impressed!
Shhhhh Masta’B its a secret :)
your new logo looks identical to the treehugger.com logo.
