Re: New Logo
said by koam  :I must comment that any logo that reads "Dslreports.com" is idiotic. It clearly must be "DSLReports.com" or "DSLreports.com," because DSL is an abbreviation and must stand out as such. "Dslreports.com" is really bad. This post is idiotic, nothing has been contributed to this thread.

Way to be insulting rather than just saying "Hey, what about capitalizing the DSL part since it's an abbreviation?" |

Yup, this site is about so much more than one thing... I really only hit on this site randomly when searching for information about World of Warcraft. Not sure if it was a specific sort of thing and a Google search picked it out or what exactly drew (pun? ) me in.
To be honest I didn't even see the rest of the site until about 2 weeks after I first came here. I'd look at all of the WoW stuff I could get, reply to some, add information, ask for help ... and sign off.
Now I'm posting photos, commenting on various pictures, reading about my at-home local ISPs, and so many other things other than WoW.
I'd bet I'm not the only one, so whatever can get someone to come here is great ... but like anything it's what can keep them coming back that counts! This site has done that for me, and even though I love it, many things *do* need a graphics makeover (such as the logo).
Which, of course, is what this thread is about ... so I'll shut up now.

-broadband byte by byte
-take a byte/bite out of broadband
-Broadbandreports .... we do it faster ! 
-Braodbandreports ... because sometimes faster is better
-Broadbandreports ...because speed counts/when speed matters |

Just stream of consciousness sort of thing:
-not your father's broadband
-we'll get you in the know
-internet essentials
-welcome to your computer (this one I like a lot)
-your computer and you
-technology at the speed of broadband
-broadband one byte at a time
-broadband how the big boys do it
-are you ready for some broadband ? |

said by cacroll :said by fatness :Girls Gone Wild About Broadband is just too long and clunky. Plus ever so slightly fraudulent.  You weren't here the day Optonline came to my house in 2000 with speeds of 10/1! Lots of wildness.
Yep Justin I agree. Just like a tv ad has just 15 to 30 seconds to tell you all about a product and convince you to buy it.
Just wish there was some all encompassing slogan that got very close to the definition of this site. Thinking, thinking .... |

I quite agree but any slogan is to suck in first timers - and explain in 3 seconds the primary focus of the site. |

That's more like it because DSLR is SO much more than a broadband info site.
Come for the broadband info and stay for the ....(fill in the blank)
The site encompasses info on broadband, ISPs, reviews but then there are all the other tech forums, hardware, software, brand specific stuff, gaming forums, not to mention the chats.
While DSLR is not a portal like Yahoo - God forbid - it is bigger than broadband for sure especially once you get past the front page and into the forums.
The name, in a way, limits that actuality, so the tag line really has to wrap it up and explain the "more" part.
Know Your Internet - sure - but also Know Your OS, Hard Drive, Router, Outlook Express, WOW, Mozilla, Overclocking - you get the picture. |
