I like it. Its very vibrant and sweet. I think it is a little big..mainly because that ad banner makes it seem really big. Otherwise its a pretty nice change.

Yea, I like how it reflects the site's new purpose. The old slogan reflected the site way back when before I had even joined that seemed to be mostly to entertain and stir some shit up in the process. Not that that wasn't cool or anything, but now-a-days people seem to find Newgrounds can be as tame or as raunchy as they'd like it to be.

I, for one, have already grown to like the new slogan.

Sorry, but for me, it just doesn't cut the proverbial mustard. :P

I was thinking about how NG has grown to include all sorts of content and is basically trying to be everything to everyone. Then I realized, NG is not everything to everyone, it's everything BY everyone... I think that's pretty NEAT.

I really preferred the old slogan. The new one I can understand it easily with all the flashes, but I just felt "The problems of the future, today!" was a better slogan, although I will agree that it isn't really relevant to NG.

As for the other complaints about the new header... We'll try making the buttons a little smaller and cutting down the vertical space as much as we can without screwing it up. And I promise, the redesign Stamper is working on LOOKS AMAZING and fits much nicer with the new header, which he has already been tweaking.

Well, that's good. After the header's fixed, anything about updating the profiles? :D

Personally it seems as though your fans don't really take to it. Now i'm not one to normally argue with the one who has creative control, but if you can't cater to your fans on something so minimal, then what happens if it's a big thing?

Personally something like NEWGROUNDS: "The future of the web" would fit it well, seeing as how you yourself say that NG is the future, and your users tend to agree. It's not too pushy or extreme but it gets the point across without much problem.

Also, about the whole not being able to be remembered on the site anymore, is there an issue with getting the "Remember me!" button onto the new layout? Because it's quite bothersome to have to wait for everything to load just so I can login and wait for it all to happen again when I have to reclick to the BBS. :|

Slightly off-topic, perhaps, but Bahamut, that's one of the best sigs I've ever seen, lol!

Then, I read your biography, the history of the site and saw the save/blam feature and I realized that it was more than just a collection of flashes. Flashes that would have never made it to flashplayer.com or albino black sheep, are on the site for the author to be proud of. And that's why I came back to the site and that's why I come back everyday. It is a site for everyone.

The fact that even one person came across Newgrounds and thought "another Flashplayer.com" makes me want to puke. And then eat the puke and puke again. Nothing against FP, they just came years later... And apparently trash talked me a good bit.

Fap fap fap.

As for the rest of the post, even tough I liked the old slogan a lot, the new one won't make me (or anyone with a brain) stop coming to NG.

Hay I would like to point out that the heading has changed the heading but the tab at the top of the screen still has the old slogan on it.

Tom, you do realise, you've just sent about 50 NG users into a panic frenzy trying desperately to find Daft Punk backing tracks :P

dont like the new one,
dont like the old one,
dont care,
ill still come

Haha, i just realised how big NG really is:

Newgrounds - Twice the size of Luxumberg

The country Luxemburg has a poplulation of 442,972, and NG has the population of 910,000.

And those who don't know where it is:

If the new slogan has reached the highest profoundness, then how can it be bad?

The reason to why we want improvment is that we want the best, not improvments itself. ;-)

Thinking ahead is what keeps you ahead, newgrounds.

That is actually a good motto, but maybe not the best slogan since it seems like the attitude of a smartass.

HAHA! Please, please, please, for the love of God, PLEASE have this as the slogan! Just for five minutes, Tom! PLEASE! Possibly the best slogan ever!

Are we really THAT big?

I have a confession to make, something quite peculiar is happening to me, everytime I take a gander at the new slogan I like it a little bit more. I don't have any real explanation for this phenomenon and it strikes me a bit odd that my change in mentality would happen so quickly, I would have guessed it to be at least a week before I could accept the change. In any case the new slogan now has my full support, which, quite fankly, is worth little more than that warm fuzzy feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when everything in the world seems just right. Incidentally, it's also the same warm fuzzy feeling one gets from eating too many Olestra fried potato chips, but that's neither here nor there.

We should keep the logo the way it is.. BUT when you login the heading switches to this.. some easy PHP coding I'm looking for work in the tri-state area Tom if you need some extra help.

-Luke

remember this is for people logged in.. to save some heading space.

FUCK!!!Old slogan was ironic,original and it was one of things because i love NG.New slogan looks commertial and really casual.Maybe you change it to "BUY MY STUFF OR I BAN YOU!!!!".

and the other side.. Remember this is a idea to reduce the top heading height for logged in users.

How about:

"Newgrounds: Look through the port hole"

?
