I think you might be misunderstanding my suggestion. I don’t mean to combine the submissions into one, I mean to combine the voting into one. So,for example as of this writing we could vote on:

Logo with open book showing Blue slash Orange
Logo with open book showing Coffee Shop 1.0
Logo with open book showing Minty
Logo with open book showing Staid
Logo with open book showing White+Blue=beautiful-san ^___^
Logo with stacked books showing Blue slash Orange
Logo with stacked books showing Coffee Shop 1.0
Logo with stacked books showing Minty
Logo with stacked books showing Staid
Logo with stacked books showing White+Blue=beautiful-san ^___^

Clicking on any of these would bring up the same preview we now get with the “Preview Style” link, only instead of automatically putting in the logo with the highest votes, it would put in the logo selected.

Or are you implying that you do touch-up work to the logos and styles when you combine them for go-live? And so we shouldn’t worry if some combination would look really lame, because you’d tweak them so they didn’t?

And if the latter, does that include colors? Because some styles look horrible with certain logos simply due to the color clashes, while the style itself may look spectacular with another logo whose colors are complimentary. How can we vote on that? That’s the real thrust of my suggestion; so we can see color schemes together and vote on them that way.

Oh I see, I think that makes more sense than I thought. I’ll have to look into it, as it wouldn’t be a trivial change and require some work.

In other news Fanfiction Freaks has been published. In my opinion, this is our best looking forumbuildr forum so far, but you guys might disagree.

I made it super easy, so the noobs have somewhere to go between The Plastic Surgery Stronghold and Rice, Rice Baby.

We’re working on some marketing-related stuff now, but I might get a chance or two to upgrade ForumBuildr a bit this week. I already have some more reports / statistics related stuff almost ready to go, so that will probably be the next thing. You can look at what kinds of things tend to get voted higher than others.
