Well, this is new and strange....
don't know if I like it yet or not. I'll probably grow to accept it.
Change scares me...
It's nice but it seems like it would belong on a children's website. I wish there were a way to change my view so I could see the previous one again.
Well.
I can tolerate the awkward tank, but the lack of the NG slogan is saddening.
Write with meaning, meaninglessly.

Try putting it under the NG logo in small font.
It's a little strange seeing pixel art next to all the high res textures and graphics on the rest of the site.

So here it is, the streamlined header. THOUGHTS???

Didn't even notice it. I like it, though.
Is that log going to replace the old tank in the pre-loader? Or can we have a pre-loader with the new logo in it?
I do like it, but the other logo is "Classic" , you just can't beat it. I tend to think chibi grounds when I see this no offense :P
I definitly do think that this optimized logo works better for the small scale, but I've just grown fond of the classic one honestly.

You just marked everything as 'unread', didn't you
I would
Yeah I don't know if that's what you were going for, but it just looks adorable, like I wanna squish Tankman's little cheeks
I don't like the rounding off the tank treads, nor the cartoony proportions of the dude on top. Overall, it makes NG much 'cuter' instead of bolder, IMO. If the old tank logo were there, even reduced in size, I think I'd actually really like it. Though maybe up-sizing the "NEWGROUNDS" part to be as tall as the tank would solve it for me?

That is so cool, I never even noticed it. Perhaps I've been working too hard...

Showoff...
A little small, but I like the overall streamlined look now.

I lyk wt u dd ter
I don't like it, but I guess I'll get used to it eventually.
Personally, I think the organization of this thing needs more help.
For example, I just discovered that there's a channel specifically for Under Judgement things.
Can't we fit the Latest, Greatest, and Popular somewhere else? The classic portal was actually one of the most streamlined things, now everything is so terribly cut up.
It's overwhelming, quite frankly.
Didn't even notice the difference, lol. But that's probably because I'm not using, and don't have, an iPhone or related piece of technological bullshit.

i agree
Why just not push the newgrounds logo up a few pixles and put the old slogan right under it? that would work wouldnt it
Heh it's ironic cause the only thing that really changed in the header is the guys head heh
isn't that a weird thing like woah
ha

not cool imo
I don't know a lot about web design and layouts, but to me it looks VERY small. Too small for my taste. The wall art gets kinda lost and ... I liked the other logo a bit more overall.
The logo itself looks nice though. Can't wait for the mobile theme!
There was some thread a few days ago that had a link to all the versions of newgrounds in web archive. I was looking around and thinking how nice and compact old ng designs looked. All the information you needed for pages like the flash and audio portal were displayed in one screen, no scrolling. This redesign is visually more appealing and accessible, but every page feels like you need to scroll forever to get the content you want. It's not a huge issue, but I think a compact header is step in the right direction.
TL:DR I like it
