    I like the new design. I just think that the logo should be something with alive, liek a computer exploding or being networked like crazy which is actually what happens when you submit.

    Make your Site Alive! SUbmit today. :D

    The way i see it, its simply one of the best design's i've come across.... apart from being professional, the design is awesome for the color combination a few cool mods and the navigation!!!

    BTW the logo isn't bad either? Whats bad in a Globe?
    Although designed by someone else other than Agent47 but i still feel the logo blends and mixes well in the entire theme!!! i'll rate it 9/10 anyways as nothing is perfect!

    Update: The logo has been replaced with a new one. CTRL+F5 to hard refresh the page. Thanks once again for all the feedback.

    @Rob: Your deeplinks will be implemented on the home page so chill :D

    New logo seems nice but is it not a little too small and the 'A' a little unreadable? Looks kinda like an 'O' to me.. :eek:

    People here will never be happy no matter how good or not good the design/logo is!!! Why not have a different Logo every different week;)???

    Isn't it going to be something unique?(although ruining the Corporate Identity but...) Maybe Rob can code this Mod as well and than you can have some happy people around you Chris!

    Can be have a poll, i personally liked the last one as it signified strength (as in a powerful web directory), completeness (the globe) and a brand promise (the man carrying the weight on this shoulders) to all,i.e. the directory users, browsers and webmasters.

    The perfect combination to brand a Business Directory.

    However, it would have looked better if it were a little bigger

    The thing is to me at least it wasn't a corporate figure it was more of a information site, more of a user friendly-ish the current design kinda eliminates the fact that its there to serve the public with useful information.

    my honest opinion


    I appreciate the rep and i don't dislike the design its just that to me at least alive/aviva is something people use to get more information tbh and is infact stumbled as k-12 education.


    A new design can be really a turning point for any established site, i believe the current design is kinda sorta alienating its current user base..

    Well, without a doubt that design is looking much better to me. I like this color combination. Infect, its one of my favorite colors so from me, two thumbs UP. For both ZEB and Chris.

    I like the idea of adding News & featured listing on homepage. Also, the preview on submit page is just awesome. Now, talking about logo, well I think both of them are OK though it could have been better.

    I don’t think “we” all are going to agree on any logo or a feature for that matter. The important thing is, Alive is giving the best to its users and will continue to do so with any logo.

    Excellent clean design. Very orignal and unique. Though it seems to miss that "wow" factor, sure its unique and all. Anyways, great job. Alives dedication and progression is indeed paramount, the amount of work, effort, hours and countless amount of money put into Alive has been beyond phenomenal.

    ok guys, lets just mesmerize for a few moments and look back on the days of Alive: http://web.archive.org/web/20061227215752/http://www.alivedirectory.com/

    Great job! Alive Rocks!
