The font appears to be Tahoma (or at least the closest I could find). This is only 10% of the size from the original image I'm working with and it has not been optimized for web.

• Added "official" to the wiki
  
• Removed "LDraw" from the OMR

I made some slight changes to some wording, please let me know if this is allowed or not:

• Added "official" to the wiki
  
• Removed "LDraw" from the OMR
  

This was done so that they fit, look better, and are readable. Again, everything can be edited, this are just suggestions for community consideration.

maybe we should remove "LDraw" from all of them except the main red brick. Thoughts?

Another idea would be to have the colored brick without "LDraw.org" for the sub-domains since they'll always have the red brick banner in the upper left.

Just playing around with your ideas.

Note: The Red logo will always be 1. All the other colors will have the shortened form.

• I see the Wiki does not use a banner but instead a picture (logo) on the top right. Do you plan to make a custom template to incorporate banners? What's the plan there?
  
• Will you be keeping the blue gradient on the main page or replacing it with a clean white background to match the forums? (I'm all for the white background, it reads better)
  
• I understand that the main banner will be "LDraw.org Centralized LDraw Resources", should we remove the redundant "LDraw" word in the left side banner as it is suggested with the right side banners?
  
• I do believe the domain name should always appear with the brick. If the image appears somewhere else there is no guess work and having the domain on the logo could help upcoming digital builders find the site. (or generate traffic potentially) Personally I am inclined to #5 or #8 in the banner options. They show the domain below (for the right side banners) and they have plenty of space for the name of the section they belong to. Spacing needs work on #5 to make it more appealing. Thoughts?

I have a few questions so we can solidify the understanding of what is being done:

and remove LDraw altogether on the right side.

(2020-08-05, 13:22)Orion Pobursky Wrote: I think the feeling so far, for the right, is 8 with LDraw.org small and on the bottom of the brick. Note that, for the main site, the right will typically not be there.
Just to reiterate, the left will be always be 1 unless there's a really good reason to deviate.
