turboduck mascot gets an upgrade!

[Eudemon]

If you haven't noticed already, our mascot turboduck (or tduck for short) has had an upgrade! He went out this weekend and got his racing license as well as a turbocharger for a body and has ditched the green hat, though he's deliberating whether to have a green helmet or not.

 

What do you think and should he go for the green helmet or not? :duck:

 

 

and with the green helmet

Nice one. Can we have a third option with the classic Top Hat for comparison?

 

Switching back to the vertically stacked user info brings back memories.

Or maybe a hat on top of the racing helmet for added speshulness. Either way I say go for green, it looks more lively and can probably clash better with whatever picture ends up in the banner :nuts:

 

And yeah, having the names and badges to the left is giving me flashbacks as well. I really like it.

Since the top bar is going to get people's attention a bit more for the next few days, have you also considered changing the colour of the Search text box so it is more noticeable?

[ScoobSTi]

I'd go for the green helmet. Also I like the new fonts, or whatever it is you did with them!

 

Also, I agree on the search bar; it's hard to notice that it's actually there. :p

[Eudemon]

I'll post the original icon and also look into some other things later today. Also yeah it's a new but old font that just looks real clean, surprised me to be honest. :)

 

There's a couple of other bits and pieces that have been added or improved aesthetically and some more changes I want to look into.

I'd say put a yellow helmet on him. It's more duck-like. Green makes me think of eco-friendly-ness.

I'd say go for a yellow helmet with some black touches, you know. Or make the colors changeable every day. So on Monday it'd be white, Thursday yellow etc. :p

[Ryzza5]

I'd say go for a yellow helmet with some black touches, you know. Or make the colors changeable every 5 years.

Fixed.

helmet reminds me of all the pCARS logos everyone makes with a helmet -__-

[killalldude]

Looked at the logos again and realized, unless you know our history, it's hard to tell it's a duck. The helmet should look like this:

From those 2 options I definitely prefer the grey one, though I agree with bugged here, it's hard to tell it's a duck unless you know our history :hmmm:

I'd go for the green helmet to add a bit of colour to the top bar :)

 

Nice change though.

[Rassva]

The one Apu drawed is way better.

[iLLGT3]

It looks good!

[The Compensator]

Thanks, appreciated. Now put it on the TV banner. :evil:

Unless you know our history, there's a lot more things that won't make any sense besides just our mascot. ;)

[ScoobSTi]

Like your avatar. :lol:

[Eudemon]

You can tell it's a knock-off though, shoddy quality and that. :cheeky:

[Ryzza5]

Feel free to make an official one :cheeky:

 

I'm surprised I even got it to look that good

[Baldy]

Looks like the duck gone gold!

[Ryzza5]

Got a webcam yet?

[MephistoRacing]

Both Ryz's avatar, and the new logo needed a good hard look before I realised they were wrong :p

 

Duck should at least have a duck head, or some feet sticking out the bottom or something
