Token Internet website launch

I'm very proud of my branding work.

We have 8 sales so far, things are proceeding a little slower than I'd hoped, but they are proceeding enough to be optimistic.

Congrats! Here's to your first 100 sales, and another 100 after that.

Nirvana · 02-17-2011, 06:19 PM

Awesome! Break sales records in the future!

It looks great, though I'm not sure I'd tout the Cellar banner as an example of "tasteful design." (Fabulous, yes, very appropriate, yes, tasteful....?)

My buddy's pawn shop site, preliminary:

Five Cellar Points to the first person to give the specific name of the color of the background. Not enough to say where you saw that color... you must NAME it

Man if you had told me, 25 years ago, that I would be doing graphic design half the time for a living... I never ever ever EVER would have believed it.

BTW I submitted one to Clients From Hell from my previous web dev business. It goes a little something like this:

Me: "Well, here's your completed site. You know, you got a great deal. From all the changes you requested, we've done about twice the amount of hours of work that we originally estimated."

Client (cheerfully): "Oh! Well that's okay, we underpaid you, but we overpay other vendors too, so it all kind of works out in the end!"

Wait, Sundae Girl's a pron star?

monster · 02-28-2011, 12:16 PM

Color is cellar-monkey blue

Undertoad · 02-28-2011, 12:17 PM

She doesn't realize there's a whole Philadelphia neighborhood named after her!! Fame in our midst and all that!

monster · 02-28-2011, 12:19 PM

She should get free flights there just for that! She could do celeb appearances and open envelopes and things.

.

It's either 6-ball green, Master's Jacket green, Bluegrass green or Really Tasty Weed green.

You know, I thought I could sneak it out of "source" but I didn't see any numbers corresponding to colors. I know very little about that sort of stuff though. Also, there needs to be a website where you copy a bit of color and insert it into the website and get back the closest color to what you entered. I sure looked for one.

Oh, and also...looks good UT!

Undertoad · 02-28-2011, 01:57 PM

Hee hee that's some really good thinking Shaw, but it's in the CSS source!

But I'll just give you the number: it's RGB #004953. (Also known as Pantone 316.)

Shawnee123 · 02-28-2011, 01:58 PM

I found the css thing and saw on a website I needed that. HOld on I'll be right back!

Shawnee123 · 02-28-2011, 02:02 PM

Midnight (eagle) green? Or Sherpa Blue?

I'm so confused.

Where have I seen it before?
