Help us make an awesome wiki!

I’d rather not use the font on the chapters thumbnails.

First, if the psd used it and you didn’t have it installed, you couldn’t use it anyway.

Second, it’s a bit hard to read, and something more standard is likely much easier on the eyes anyway.

The new template was really meant as more of an update to have a simpler font, a larger thumbnail and make it simpler and easier on the eyes overall.

Ah, in that case… TO PHOTOSHOP!

Thanks man! I’m glad you liked it. The original intention was to extend that design to all categories, even to the Capters page (but within a square template, in that case). Also, wouldn’t be a problem for me to do an alternate version of the Characters icons with square template (even thinking that is too small to show effectively the characters/enemies), but well… If the most part of the community and the devs not approved, I can’t continue with the job.

Also this^. I agree completely with you.

Kliener looks so cheeky in the new picture, thanks Carlos!!

Also, I really like the the character thumbs, much better than the chapter ones - as Crikulus said they are more aesthetically pleasing, I would be happy to see a similar style rolled out to other parts of the wiki. Also although the rectangular format works for characters, the a square template may work better for chapters, I don’t know - I say just go with whatever works best!

Looks like an old picture.

wow that looks realy like an younger Kleiner! allot better than neckless Eli
cant wait for BMS to come out!

While the young Kleiner is good, maybe he could look more like his picture from the HL2 magazine:

Agreed. He looks better in the magazine.

Yep, he looks far better in the magazine.

Still … he looks … alright… the thumbnail needs updating now.

Well maybe not the sideburns, but the hair could be more like on the magazine cover :stuck_out_tongue:

who said the magazine cover was around the time of the RC?

Again, what I said in the other thread. It’s not a matter of canon; it just looks better.

Honestly I think it’s just his expression that’s throwing you off.

And the hair.

The hair is not… it could be better, yep. And the magazine is a good example as it could be done right. Just saying…

Some sideburns, obviously, but it is still awesome.

Awesome.

My only suggestion is less eyebrows (if taking the HL2’s Kleiner as reference).
The hair and sideburns absense makes sense, cause they are more a 70’s or 80’s style, and the BM incident (is supposed to) occur in the 90’s.

EDIT: You’re right, DeadlyFox. My bad.

It’s actually supposed to have occurred in 200X.

They probably wouldn’t release magazines after the Resonance Cascade, so I think it was before BM, so now I agree with them not being there.
