Submission scoring design... UPDATED!

Hey ladies & germs...

After we launched the new scoring system on Friday a lot of you were a little bothered by the strength of the numbers and felt that they competed graphically with the designs. To alleviate that, I went ahead and made the numbers smaller for y'all (as seen here).

Please let me know what you think, and thanks - as always - for your feedback!

Phiffer on Jun 02 '08 at 10:10am

much better. Smaller number for the win

snaggle tooth on Jun 02 '08 at 10:10am

It is DA BOMB DOT COM! Big numbers are excellent for the older members of threadless.

Gigguli on Jun 02 '08 at 10:10am

Better! Nice! Thanks!

I wish I could vote on how graphically awesome the numbers looked.

squatterjohn on Jun 02 '08 at 10:10am

Looks good. The link to the blog banners fits in nicely, though I guess that all has to do with the height of the design too.

Phiffer on Jun 02 '08 at 10:11am

but if you went smaller still I wouldnt complain. (I liked the way it was) but stuff has to change to stay fresh

andyg on Jun 02 '08 at 10:11am

They still look awfully big. What was wrong with the old numbers? If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

nice work

fatheed on Jun 02 '08 at 10:14am

I like them in the single column and because of the change, the digits needed to be wider. This new size is a good compromise.

squatterjohn on Jun 02 '08 at 10:15am

I think the old numbers fit in properly when all the designs had to be submitted as 640 x 480 (or something like that) but now the designs can be taller so there was a lot of empty space. That's my guess anyway.

cool thanks!! i like the smaller numbers!

tracerbullet on Jun 02 '08 at 10:22am

i think we should be voting on a roman numeral basis

snaggle tooth on Jun 02 '08 at 1:05pm

Nice to see it says 'It's been printed!', instead of the balloons, that was in need of an update, and you can see the artist's other submissions too. really impressive changes.

FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 02 '08 at 1:08pm

Screw that Bri, If only we could vote in .1 increments.

tracerbullet on Jun 02 '08 at 1:09pm

i wanna vote in binary

Robsoul on Jun 02 '08 at 1:10pm

it definitely looks better and isn't all clustered together as it was previously. the breathing room in between the letters definitely helps.

bananaphone on Jun 02 '08 at 1:10pm

new text size works well but it still doesn't fix the fact that a lot of voters don't understand what they are really voting on. AKA giving zeros for anything they wouldn't wear, rather than just not clicking "I'd buy it"

label on Jun 02 '08 at 1:13pm

I love it. Great stuff.

realslimnatey on Jun 02 '08 at 1:16pm

now it just looks too normal, i liked how it was HUGE

and im certain it wouldve caught on with all the other sites that follow you guys by example

jk guys, looks good either way

snaggle tooth on Jun 02 '08 at 1:17pm

b-phone raises a good point...

shirtflirt on Jun 02 '08 at 1:18pm

haha, did you really make the numbers smaller? O_o

snaggle tooth on Jun 02 '08 at 1:19pm

sometimes when i load a page the green box that is supposed to be around the number shows up on the right hand side of the page, when i refresh, it appears correctly.

running Safari 3.1.1

Looks a lot better

ladrones on Jun 02 '08 at 1:37pm

newgrounds had a voting system that was very clear on what 0 was and what 5 was.

i dont know if its my screen but i cant see a number differece,
only an change in position of the numbers.

also if they were changed, the green box is way too big.
im down for the a numbering change,
but what i have liked about the threadless website

is its simplicity
and the page designs almost lack of a style

this made it nice not to distract from the artwork,
its what i dont like about all other shirt voting sites,
wayy to stylized.

this bar doesnt seem to fit in with how clean and straightforward the rest of the site design is.

thanks for listening to our suggestions.

I still think they are kinda big, but overall it looks good.
