hellpop Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Mickey Mouse IS a douchebag! Why should he get the dignity of pants, while poor Donald has to walk around with his junk uncovered? Just like to point out that this comment, sitting as it is at the top of the page, without any clarification or context, is really fucking bizarre. Congratulations there, Nate. And if I may say... I like the Database as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I like the new logos and vote for #2. Why? Symmetry kicks ass! That's why. That vertical line in the center does it for me. Very simple, yet stylish. #1 is for Micky Mouse Douche Bags only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurch77 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Ohhh, this is one of "those" tests isn't it #1 is a fat dude and a well-endowed woman walking into an old western saloon {insert joke about man at the bar with a 12" pianist}. #2 is the hoofprints of a magical unicorn with a cleft foot; it may look pretty and everyone seems to like it but pet it too much and you'll go blind #3 is Frogger sideways about to eat a Galaga ship I vote for #4, you have to stare really hard to see it but OMG that logo is soooo funny (yet offensive to Martians and probably illegal in several states) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'd suggest having minimates popping out/sitting on the letters. MMDB doesn't say minimates to me. Possibly have 'minimate database' in smaller letters underneath. Or go with an all white minimate and have that logo on his chest- maybe sitting on a file cabinet or holding other minimates. Or a franken-mate made up of various body parts. Or have Luke design one for you if he's up for it. I like all the graphics on his site.

boyd Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 #1. #2 is more interesting visually, but the backwards D reads like a C, which to me means your new site name should be Minimate Collated Base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Whoa, thank you all for the feedback. It's a lot more than I was expecting. I appreciate it immensely. This is just the first step in a larger design. It will definitely have the Minimate Database text on it. As much as I like the MMDB abbreviation, it's really only recognizable to folks around here. It's nice how much of the feedback matches what I was thinking. (I guess I'm not totally insane.) The first one works well but is a little unbalanced. The symmetry of the second one improves that, but I'm not sold on backwards letters. I like the joined MM of the third, but it reads as Minimate Contraband. I guess I didn't delete the fourth one as thoroughly as I thought. Everyone has their kink. The one thing I didn't see before is the faces in the DB. Now it's all that I see. Thanks again everyone, I'll keep tweaking it. EDIT: I forgot to add... Does it remind you of any other franchise logos or anything? Something about it seems familiar to me but I can't place it. I don't want to be infringing anything. Edited September 28, 2012 by Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastweaponmaster Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hi. I am just wondering if anyone knows about the current status of the great reference site for minimates, "Minimate Database"? I noticed that it hasn't been updated since August 2012. Thanks.

buttheadsmate Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 .................... working on the DB revamp, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Er, yeah... sorry about that. Things were pretty fubar there for a while but normalcy is returning. All I can say is there will be an update with new Minimates before the revamp is done. No ETA on either though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 EDIT: I forgot to add... Does it remind you of any other franchise logos or anything? Something about it seems familiar to me but I can't place it. I don't want to be infringing anything. Now that you mention it, It kind of reminds me of Run DMC's logo. Not by much, but maybe that's why it looks familiar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Random thought that occurred to me last night - is there a way to see release dates for a specific character? Like if I wanted to see how many Captain America Minimates were released in 2010 at a glance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 That's definitely doable. Release dates are currently tied to packs and series but I could craft a query to extend to figures. Let's see... Captain America March 4, 2010 World War II October 9, 2010 Suspended Animation October 9, 2010 Armored October 9, 2010 Reborn October 9, 2010 Captain America (Classic Heroic Age) December 6, 2010 Captain America (Modern Heroic Age) October 9, 2010 Looks right to me. I probably won't have a dedicated page to do this, but it will be integrated into the existing character page. Depending on how resource-intensive it is.

boyd Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Thanks, Ivan. I wasn't out to make more work for you - it was just a passing thought I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 No worries boyd. I needed something productive to do at work, and crafting the query really hit the spot for me. (Weird as that sounds.) I've always thought the 'character' page was sparse and release information seems like a good addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
