Uneasy Changes

The highly popular provider of geeky news, Uneasy Silence.com, has been experiencing some changes. For instance, check out the (temporary) logo.



Also, Uneasy Silence is inviting visitors to remake the logo.


Here's what they have to say for themselves...

UES Rip?

"We interrupting normal posting to bring you this short message of some housekeeping / misc items:

  • Logo RIP?: After three years we are looking to clean up the logo a bit (more on that later today) to give us a modern look (The “beta” logo has actually been in place for the last three days now). But that logo is NOT necessarily final, matter of fact I open up the logo design to ANY uneasy reader. If you have any design skills and want to change the logo of the site drop us an email
  • Go Speed Racer: We recently upgraded to SSL and found that it had some real nasty side effects on the site, mainly hurting the commenting system. So it had to go! With much help from Mosso (basically undoing all the hacked up miserable coding I did), the site is back to its full potential. So all the technical goofs in the last week and a half are all my fault (Who knew that 127.0.0.1 caused a loopback :P)
  • You Got The Beat: The Beat comment page has quickly become almost the most popular page on UNEASYsilence. We are glad you liked it as much as we do
  • More means MORE: It took a long time for Derek and I to figure out how to get the “MORE” button to do what we want, but now when you click more - you actually get what you expect

This was just to tidy up a few changes over the last few days, and we have two other really exciting tidbits that we’ll divulge later today."


I think this is great and exciting and I can't wait to see what happens next. Also, I am SO gonna take up their challenge on the logo design thingy.
