1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    I think it looks pretty good but would rather not see the flames because they aren't a real part of vaping.....well except maybe in the mind of those who don't understand vaping or worse, associate vaping with exploding mods causing fire etc..

    I like it. IMO, they aren't flames, just colored vapor trails.

    I prefer the new one, just because it is nice to change (not saying the old one wasn't good) and the person spent time creating it.

    I would have written "Thailand" using the thai flag color (like he did for the flames).

    Thank you to the anonymous creator, for his idea and his gesture.

    I prefer the new one.

    But also don't like the flames - clouds would be more appropriate.

    I really like how the T and V are combined in the new one. But I'm not a fan of all the embellishments (such as the shadows, shines, borders). If whoever designed it wants to play around with variations, I'd suggest:

    - keep the words "Thailand" and "Vapers" exactly how they are
    - remove all shadows, borders and lighting effects. make it flat. the typography work there stands on it's own just fine.
    - use 2 colors
    - one for each word
    - white and yellow are working well
    - remove the subtext (I never heard the word vaperist before - seems odd)
    - then maybe add a subtle border (or other effect) somewhere if necessary. try to stick to one effect only. if no effects are needed, that's great - don't use any.
    - remove the flames. maybe replace with clouds

    Anyway, that's just my take on a possible variation if the designer feels inclined.

    ---

    As for the subtext, I don't think it's necessary. But I do have the following notes re taglines/mottos in my Evernote which I've found useful a few times in the past:

    - 6-8 words is ideal
    - convey differentiation and a clear benefit
    - a motto expresses a guiding principle, a goal or an ideal, but a tagline conveys a value proposition. Mottoes are lofty and reassuring. Taglines are personable, lively and sometimes clever. Clever is good, but only if it helps convey, not obscure, the benefit.

    Me too . . . . the old one had a touch of class and as SD wrote, "clean, simple, elegant."

    The new one seems to be trying too hard to be modern. To me it has a kiddish, video game look to it. :don't like:

    Also, look how good the old logo looks on our signatures. :very good:

    The old one is better, I think.

    The new one looks too flashy and the lat time I checked the only flashy person on the forum was ..... come to think of it, aren't we all a bunch of sad, old basket cases with meaningless lives and only one thing on our minds?

    Sorry RedHotChilli, I was talking about the guys.

    You are the drop-dead gorgeous member of the forum.

    To be honest, I can't comprehend how someone of your beauty and high class would want to associate with us plebs

    Ok well with the votes and a number of PMs from members it has been decided to put back the old simple clear Logo to the site.

    Thanks to all who commented and PMd me.
