5.x Design Guidelines
curaga:
We'd of course look at any website designs, with the caveat that once accepted, we'd expect the author to port all current pages to it ;)
Our current site is not ideal in that the navigation bar and the copyright at the bottom could be handled better.
There are some technical constraints to keep in mind:
- it must work in old browsers and text mode browsers (links, lynx...), so no JS or CSS3
- it must be mirrorable anywhere, so static pages only (also lets us handle huge amounts of traffic with ease, if needed)
- it should load fast, ie number of requests should be minimized
Personally I'd like a make-based system we could put in git. It would build the static pages and copy them into place, letting things be properly in one place in source form.
/end tech talk
Most of that doesn't involve designs, just wanted to get it out to avoid wasted work.

@coreplayer2, Where did you get that camera/screenshot image from?

How do you mean? I created the image of my desktop using " snap2usb " extension
Lee:
The mention that the slashed "O" looks like "do not" or "forbidden" gives me the idea that it might work well if you can put something behind it symbolizing "bloat". Especially if it can still be recognized as a screw head.
Including "micro" and "tiny" and "plus" in the logo might not be such a good idea though, as it seems to shut out additional flavors (already including "d" and "pi").
I also like the idea idea of something "core" like. Core > Coeur > heart > center > something round with some treasure or enlightenment at the center.
Some of the earlier Tiny Core Logos were good that way. The challenge will be coming up with something that really fits the -name- "Core" as well as the -idea- of a "toolbox" and then to work in elements bringing to mind "tiny", "fast", "robust" etc etc.
Good luck with that - glad I'm just an idea guy, not an artist. ;D

In the stock logo, the Slashed O is supposed to be a screw head.

Sorry, I meant the icon you have in your wbar.
I just installed your snap2usb extension and there it is. (:
Do you know (or anyone else) where the original screenshot.png, services.png and settime.png can possibly be found?

An interesting idea to use a "not bloated" symbol - I have no idea though what could be an indicator for bloating.
I think the 'core' icon as it is right now is actually very good exept that its not screw-ish enough for me.
