As you can see we have a new theme choice for the homepage now. (Defualt 2.0)

It really does need a name so lets start with seeing what you can come up with.

OK, I've been staring at it for about 10 minutes and I can't think of anything serious besides 'Azure' (cause blue doesn't sound as fancy)

Hopefully these will inspire someone to think "I can do better that that!"

'Blue - The Official Color of Redmond'

'Royale with Tabs'

'Kelsenellenelvians Wild Blue Yonder' (sounds like a roller coaster)

'BSoWPIW'

EDIT -Azure wasnt there when i hit reply i swear!

OMG Yes those are absolutly great and memorable.

My wife says "azure" is more purplish.

And wants it to be called "True Sky"

So thats her vote.

Unusual synonyms for Sky on thesaurus.com:

Welkin

Empyrean

they sound cool. maybe theyll inspire a good name.

Welkin Globe

Royal Globe

Blue Yonder

Royal Blue Yonder

Enchanted Globe

Welkin Splash

I figure the word Globe goes good with the logo.

my suggestion:

Watery Grave

it fits well with 'The Dark Side'.

PS - if i win, the 5 bucks goes back into WPI development, no question as i use it quite a bit.

LOL niiiice.

Ultramarine

Oddly enough, ultramarine Blue is the official color of the US Air Force. It is a nice color and has Ultra in the name, so I vote for it!

Ultimate Blue

24 hours left!!!

Get your names in now and I will start the pol tommorow...

Howdy Folks. I'm a long time listener, first time caller.

Actually, this contest is the straw that prompted me to join MSFN, so I'm posting before even thinking about setting up preferences. Oh wait, I guess I just thought about it.

It seems a lot of suggestions so far have followed the primary color of the link image, but there's a lot more to the actual 2.0 page than just blue. Whether by design or chance, the element on that page that grabs my attention the most is the animation in the center of it all (Mainani.gif). While blue seems to be the primary color of many of the examples, there are other colors in there, too.

For this reason, my suggestion is to call the page "Splash". Since it already exists at the end of the present name, feel free to consider "Splash 2.0"

I'll also add that I've been considering joining this forum just to personally say Thank You to all of the members who so readily contribute their time and knowledge (and quite a bit of patience, I'm sure) to both the production of projects like this, as well as the sharing of the 'know how' you folks have picked up over the years. For quite a while now, I have truly been in awe.

Respect!

Peace,

GMan

Thanks for the suggestion, GMan, and welcome to MSFN!
