User blog:NinjaFatGuy/New Wiki Design

Hey there, I'm NinjaFatGuy, an admin over on wikis such as The Last of Us, Titanfall, and a former Wikia Star. I would like to begin the discussion on a new design for the Borderlands Wiki. I frequently visited this wiki for many years and found a lot of information I set out to find, however, one thing that kinda unsettled me was the design of the wiki.

It's not that it is a poor design, but however, I personally don't believe the design represents those vibrant orange, red, and yellow colors we see often connected to Borderlands, as well as nothing that represents the series than the dull vault symbol used on both sides for the background. The logo is also not reminiscent of the series as it's simply white and the only thing that I believe saving that logo is the vault symbol in it, but it could use more. When I think of Borderlands, I think of a fun and bright series (although, it definitely has its dark moments).

With Borderlands 3 announced and on the way, I believe the wiki could use a new design and replace the design that has been used for as long as I can remember. My personal vision for such a design can be found on my testing wiki here. It has a wordmark in the style of the traditional Borderlands logo, a more vibrant color scheme, and a background using iconic characters from the series. However, I would want to hear first who agrees with this proposition and those who disagree. For those who give their opinion, I would like hear a reason for such and what other ideas people prompting for a new design would have.

Overall, the wiki design is quite outdated and dull and isn't the best representation for the Borderlands Wiki, and with the next major installment coming up, the wiki could use a fresh design. Feel free to leave your opinions in the comments. Thanks! NinjaFatGuy (talk) 22:41, March 29, 2019 (UTC)
