Hey T,
Just checked out the new website ... amazing improvement over the old '90's look. Here is a few minor observations I'd like to share:
1. The scroll arrows beside the "Features" section are plain and, at first, didn't look like scroll arrows to me. Perhaps they could be changed to "Next" and "Previous", or have a drop shadow so they look like buttons ...
2. More a "development" issue, but I'm not a fan of the icons used to indicate airports. I don't think the orange border and white background works well with the style of map you're using. I'd prefer coloured pins of varying size. Perhaps 5 colours and sizes would cover Enormous, Large, Medium, Small, Tiny ... and International, Domestic, Freight, Military, Private ... or something like that ...
3. I like the logo. The Comet was the first airliner I was able to recognise as a kid. I had a tin plate toy one in BOAC colours when I was just 2 or 3 years old. I see the logo has used the BOAC colours on the plane. Nice. I think the text font could be improved with an outline, italics, and drop shadow. (sorry ... I'm an architect ... I see these things)
4. I see the logo as a nod to BOAC. Perhaps that was unintentional but it really strikes a chord with me. When I play the game I usually create BOAC and play that airline from about 1946, starting out with a handful of Lockheed 049's. So .... I thought, if this makes me feel good then perhaps there are some Pan-Am, Continental, Ansett, TWA, Thomas Cook etc (all airlines that no longer exist) fans playing the game. Perhaps, as the website develops, it may incorporate themes from these airlines, as well as iconic airlines still flying, such as Singapore, Thai, Delta, KLM, Lufthansa, Qantas, Emirites, etc ... just a thought.
Great work with the website !!!
