I think the new logo is very nice and makes the "MFGG Main" look less out of place, but I think we just need more of the papery texture on some other parts of the skin in order for everything to tie together (or just completely remove any papery texture and save that for a paper skin).
Yeah you're right about that. I designed the skin here to be very "modern" and I mainly used Paper Mario things as filler because I couldn't decide on icons and so on and didn't have the time to design my own.
But I've grown a bit attached to the Paper Mario style and kind of like it. I think it has a lot more personality than the "modern" look. I have two options I guess, convert a few things here to be more Paper Mario styled, such as the top-right icons, while still keeping it looking sleek, or make a separate skin and go full Paper Mario on it and keep the modern look for the main skin.
The issue I have is that the default skin is the face of the website and you want it to be as attractive as possible. I'd like to keep things sleek and modern looking, without sacrificing the personality that a website like ours should have.
