New Design, lost in space!

April 06, 2008

After one year using that brownish layout the time for a change has come. Well, actually I’ve been working on this new design since last January, not exactly this one, because I did like 2 other versions before I thought it was ok.

Among all these new features there’s the new design. Black, full of stars and lighting effects. We chose to follow the space theme, due to the relation the name has with it, and that subject gives us a lot of freedom to create crazy things.

Anyways, we are still adjusting the new layout, so you may find some glitches. Feel free to report us about any problem you might have or if you have suggestions or critics as well. We’d love to hear from you.

frank vasquez04/09/2008

Love the new style my friend!

Fogolin04/08/2008

cara, ficou muito legal, mas, abaixo das tags, aquele redemoinho é para estar achatado?

Achei estranho isso... mais o resto esta legal...

Cristina04/08/2008

I really like it! I have to say that the old one was simple but it worked well...this new approach its perfect!

Mauricio04/08/2008

Very nice!
Loved the black hole in the tag cloud and the saucer in the footer.
Keep goin'!

milo04/08/2008

Just curious:
"...actually I’ve been working.."
and
"...we are still adjusting..."
It's now one or more?

jayhan04/08/2008

Sleek and real cool! Loves it a lot! Well done body :D Absolutely love that "space tags"

Cameron Rad04/08/2008

Eduardo04/08/2008

Nice Background... It was a huge improvement compared to the old design. Congrats

freshis04/07/2008

Realy nice !
Fell free in that space !

Pityful Anonymous04/07/2008

Wonderful design. I love it so much more. Congrats!!

K3v04/07/2008

Huge improvement as I wasn't a big fan of the previous design!

James Baldwin04/07/2008

Gotta be truthful, I much preferred your old design.

I really like the new one, but the old one had even more of something about it.

Still, it's the content of your posts I come here for, not the design of the blog, and to that end you won't get rid of me for a long, long time!

Keep up the good work mate

James

adam2z04/07/2008

i really like it. congrats.

Artsteez04/07/2008

Much cleaner.

2k a day04/07/2008

I love the new design!! Very cool. Will you do a tutorial on how you did it?

Anthony04/07/2008

Hey Abduzeedo, are you using a plugin to run the very top scroller (with the banner images) on the main page?

Braintrove.com04/07/2008

Love the new design.

Anthony04/07/2008

Looks great!!!

Colette04/07/2008

hey i just thought i'd let u know that the date is wrong in the post... but i love the change and the this website is full of inspiration thanks!!!

Sonny04/07/2008

It's pretty cool, but personally I don't like it much for your redesign. It lacks structure with much of the content not having any sort box or form around it. Also, I think the 'rainbow aspect' is overused, as we've seen it numerous times in your designs.

You have great talent and think you could have done better with the redesign.

Don't take my comments to heart, they are opinions, nonetheless :)

Markus04/07/2008

Looks smooth! And actually i did not like the old design :P I love the logo! :)

therapix04/07/2008

Awesome work man. I love this new skin.

craZed04/07/2008

Looks great !!!!

gerald04/07/2008

Reminds me of the Ten Thousand Things (http://www.ttthings.com), so stars are the new gradients? I should redesign mine :)

Anyways, love both.

Ahmet04/07/2008

Old theme beter than this !

daniel04/07/2008

Salva04/07/2008

Mr Kuzio04/07/2008

I like it!

It's great!

Khalid04/07/2008

I liked it .. unusual design .. well done

Lamin Barrow04/07/2008

I love this new design. I was thinking just when are you going to redesign your website after all those great art u have done.

Enes Kaya04/07/2008

WOW, It looks really special, and "spacy"

Well done, mate

JR04/07/2008

liking the new design and as always the blog, elliot jay stocks also has a rather neat fixed background too www.elliotjaystocks.com - it's coming back... (ftr I'm not e-j-s, just a fan of design)

Juan Antonio04/07/2008

to be honest, I like better the other one, of course this one has more work but is more difficult to read the "wording" and also a little bit "friky" for my taste. :) sorry about that.

However, I will keep reading your posts :)

Milo04/07/2008

Wow, stunning. Loved the old design but it was starting to show its age, this is really awesome!

Shane04/07/2008

Wow, love the look. Something original. Great work.

Tyrone Avnit04/07/2008

Love the desingn...! It's not just well designed, but extremely unique. I really have not visited another site that has the same feel. Well done! 2 yrs was worth it.

Rob Schultz04/07/2008

Great design. I love what you've done with this place.

Felipe Spina04/07/2008

The best Re-design! Sucess

Sebastian04/07/2008

Really cool designs; where can you buy the shirts?

Brian04/07/2008

Just another little bug I just noticed,

in your tags section, the stars behind your tags are still scrolling.

abduzeedo04/07/2008

Hey thank you all for the comments, I'm really happy you like the new design, I'm working on a few issues and the suggestions are really welcome. I've changed the text color already, now it's not too dark and easier to read. The stars are fixed now and it looks really good.

Anyway, let me know if you find any glitche or css problem. I will try to write tuts on the header and footer for sure.

Majesticskull04/07/2008

Very nice the new design! :o

Brook04/07/2008

Well done on the new design. Fresh... very fresh...

Bruce Alrighty04/07/2008

I like the new design, but I think the text Is a little to dark.

Gimper04/07/2008

wow this is one great drupal theme!! nice work!

Brian04/07/2008

I think I agree with previous comments - you should make the stars stationary - it would make it a much nicer effect.

By the way, are you going to write a tutorial about how to make your footer? It is very nicely done.

Dan04/07/2008

Love the new design! ;)

Dy™04/07/2008

i like the header bro..
its cool :)
but i think, this is one rather complicated than before
as not as simple view as before..
too dark, and also the text
it makes my eyes hard to see..
maybe you want to consider my suggest :D

but i also like the UFO under :P
im sorry if my English is terrible hehehe :P

Allen04/07/2008

I love the new website.

One thing that I think would make the website even cooler though, would to have the star background be stationary, so when you scroll, you almost get the effect of moving through space.

Also, all you would have to do, in your css file, just add fixed after background, then you are done.

yusu04/07/2008

Excellent work Fabio. I really like it.

nitos04/07/2008

I entered.. the website and then thought.. its this abduzeedo.com??
great design as I told you before.. :D

Neutron04/06/2008

I love it i really like the stars in the back. :D nice work man congrats :D

Anonymous04/06/2008

Well, I was coming in for another visit, and... WHAM!!! Right in the Face!
Very nice job on the new design!

It would also be cool if the star field background didn't move with the scrolling so that it feels like the stars are far away. :)

MoiMM04/06/2008

Very niiice !

Bravo ! ;)

Gianni Chiappetta04/06/2008

Sexy! Congrats.

kremalicious04/06/2008

Brian04/06/2008

Damn Fabio - this is hot. I'm loving the navigation and the background - you've really hit the nail on the head with this design!

nitos04/06/2008

Love the new design! :D
