Finally, some news

Band pages now feature the 'logography' - the history of band's logos over the years (if there's more than one). Logos are displayed on the Biography page, and you can add/edit them there as well - so let's get to work, people!

Edit already submitted logos by clicking on them.

Here are a few examples:
http://www.metalstorm.ee/bands/biography.php?band_id=128&bandname=Sentenced
http://www.metalstorm.ee/bands/biography.php?band_id=168&bandname=Stratovarius
http://www.metalstorm.ee/bands/biography.php?band_id=416&bandname=Firewind

OK, I already did something wrong again. I suck, I know.

I added the recent logo of Behemoth, and I added the wrong year since they are using it. That is to be 1997 and I filled in 1998. My mistake, hope someone can change. Well, if you accept it of course, I must first try out what will be accepted and what not.

I like this idea, but I think the logo should be on the band's main page. I think that had already been mentioned, but I don't remember.

I agree with pyroleprechaun, the current logo should be on the main page, and the past logos (and maybe also the current one) on the band's bio.

I like this idea also, I always thought the logos where missing.

I think it's a great idea to have the band logos in the band pages, although I have to agree that I think the current logo should be on the bands' main page. Just a suggestion though, either way it's still good. It's really great though to see that the band pages have become a lot more detailed and informative.

this is a good idea - my computer has the problem with .jpg images though, so i cant add any
so if anyone feels like doing a little extra, here is a page of the Bal-Sagoth logo history nicley laid out with comments from Byron:

Well, those Bal Sagoth logos cannot be used, since the background isn't black...

oh yes, i see the rules for logos now
oh well, it doesnt matter then. i dont have the time or patience to sit here and paint out all the backgrounds

What about such kind of logos ?

They're important too imo...

I think they can be added as well.

I was thinking they'd just be a sort of heading looking thing, but I really like how this looks. It's good to have this kind of thing as yet more info about a band. Excellent job.

@Allthepeoplewhowantitonthemainpage: I think it looks better where it is, because if it was on the front page it would push all the main information down. Remember some bands have had 3,4,5+ logos. Where the main information is next to the band pic, it looks good layout-wise.

Plus, for users with slow internet, it's not that great to be loading all those image like that everytime you view a page. Having them in the biography section means the user has to choose to go there. The band info page is the one that loads up straight away.

And one more reason why it's good in the biography section is that, this section details the history of the band. There will be a text biography now, as well as a history of the band's logos. Showing evolution over time, etc.

@necrowinter- yeah, but tulkas mentioned that previous logos could be put somewhere else, and that the current logo can be kept on the main page.

Ok, but still, downloading the logo each time would be a pain. Especially for dial up people like myself Plus even one logo heading the main page would push the layout out of whack, making the general good look of the featured bands worse.

Yes, that's exactly the reason why I don't want to put logos on the main page.

@Ivan

Just a few questions. What if in a band biography there is no first time logo? How we suppose to do that. Or just we can add or change logo if there is already one ?

Do you mean "what do we do if there's no logo there" ?

As a test for me adding logos, I did Amon Amarth's - http://www.metalstorm.ee/bands/biography.php?band_id=25

Well that was my point , but as i read only few posts in this thread , i recently noticed that one must go into bands's biography. That why i can not find any "add logo" any where .

wow...it's waaaay harder to submit logos than it should be. I spent around 45 minutes trying to submit 3 Dying Fetus logos, and I wasn't able to successfully submit them. DF has had two different logos that are square-ish in size and I can't resize them because they aren't wide enough. If I make the logo big enough to satisfy the width requirement, it still doesn't work because the logo will then be too high.

Well so far I have added the old logo for Xasthur as well as the logos for Decapitated, Old Mans Child, and Enthroned. Don't we get community points for this??

You should.

Hmm... well I haven't gotten any points for that....

Is there a weight limit for logos?? All the images I've submitted are less than 20 KB, just in case.

No... Do I have to submit more logos for the points to show up? The 4 points I have now are for the news I submited...

Well, no but any logos you submit from now on, you should get points for.

Yeah, in the beginning there were no points for adding logos, but later fixed this thing.
