Webpage update - New RS6.com header. Tell me what you think!

[Erik]

Tell me what you think. :argue:

:thumb: or :noshake:

Progress is slow, but at least some things are happening.

IMO RS6.com header should be left top and the background more Audi RS related.

The speedo will be animated, climbing... :revs:

[Ruergard]

well, I liked it...!
With the speeder climbing it would be really nice, go for that!
But it's what I think :D

[Qriouz]

i think its nice 2!!:thumb:

[Klint]

That is smart if it can be achieved. It gets my vote. :D

What's the three lights from?

Koenigsegg is my guess but I have asked for a more RS-related picture. We will see.

Anyway, the door is open for anybody who wants to contribute with comments or images.

I'm a little perplexed. RS6's officially cannot go above 250km/h, even though Audi actually lets them go a little higher. Anyone with a little car knowledge will know this, so it would be a little tacky say infer something that the forum's namesake can't achieve. If you're gonna do that, MAKE SURE the climbing speedometer gets to above 300km/h.
I think the lights in the background should be from an RS6. That's definitely still what this forum focuses on.
I also think the current RS6 logo is distinctive, while that one seems...well...indistinct. Maybe an update of the current one, with the same or similar easily recognizable font?

Looking back at the posted pic, I agree with rks838. These would be two changes that would better the main page. Otherwise, keep it the same.:thumb:

[SpinEcho]

OK, sorry to be brutally honest, but I think "beyond 300 km/h there are no friends" is pretty cheesy. I like the speedometer idea. How about the actual, RS logo as a background on the left side of the banner (or will that be a copyright infringement?)

Or the text could be "RS6"(like the logo on our trunklids) .com

[BBGT2]

Yes I like it but agree with some that the lights should be from a RS6, maybe from the left angle and get the logo somehow, but you probably cany show that due to legal issues and all. Otherwise looking good Erik.

We can't use any of the Audi copyright material like logos etc.

Regarding pics - remember that a design can look awfully old in 2 years time once something new arrives. Think the Audi single frame grill vs. the old ones for example.

Actually RS6.com is not all about the Audi RS6, it's all Audi/VAG top-of-the-line models as well as other high performance cars.
Remember the Audi RS4, Audi S8, S6, R9 etc. just to be released.

Here's a fresh one, made by the designer yesterday evening.

Once we settle the design it will be animated.

[RS4Ever]

set up a poll.

IMHO, im not crazy about it.

simpler is better.

ill also have to agree with rks838 and SpinEcho

thats what i like about this forum now is that its not a "fast & the furious" kind of thing

simply 100% car talk.:cool2:

[Aronis]

Keep the speed claim real......

The spedo says one thing and the print says another.

Now, of course, if you want a lot of S(*& from the BMW forums, go for it!

BUT - As I said the current RS6 is no longer in production and we have to plan the webpage for year's to come. Once it's set it will be there for at least a year or two. And remember the other RS cars. R9. 250 km/h only? Don't think so. The 250 km/h limit won't exist in the future. MB, BMW kind of followed when the RS6 Plus went up to 280 km/h.

RS6 Avant :)

[gjg]

second version is better (with rs6.com in upper left corner) imho. And I'd agree with Mike that the rs6 speedo at 300+ pic would be more appropriate instead of the bmw/mb or whatever is there today ...

my 0.02$

[steve]

Here's my vision :)

[gjg]

looks good, can you move rs6.com sign symetrically from borth sides in that left corner?

[steve]

Here you go. Needed that indeed:thumb:

Great! Use of the RS logo in a clever way. Now PUHLEEZE just get rid of the boy racer "beyond 300 km/h..." crap...

I am with Spin on this one except that instead of the 300 kmh it should say
"At 200 mph you have NO friends"
:D :D :D :D :D

Seriously it looks great, now git er done!

how about ...

"280 kmh.... and climbing"

[rks838]

I think we're making progress here...

Erik, you're right, this isn't only an RS6 forum, that's true...but I think we should have something with the four rings emblem, like that wheel that's there now.

If we're gonna do the speedometer and 300km/h no friends thing (RS4ever put it perfectly - seems a bit too "fast and furious," not to mention Audi is a company that seems to tend towards understatement, while this is sort of in-your-face), let's try to use an Audi speedometer, unless I'm mistaken and that already is an Audi speedometer.

:0: RS4 ever!

Agree, this is more Audi as well as RKS said.

Audi is an underdog and not an all in your face car so thats why me as well like 280 and climbing!

im not sure how possible this request/consideration would be.. however, the word 'quattro' i understand cannot be put on.. but, what about having the banner background be like seasons changing..
we love :heart:how we can drive out even in the worst conditions.

here is the concept (in words)...

have 1 path (car width or so)
have it go from left to right of our monitors/screen - like the banner.
have that path connected throughtout all the seasons.
path will look good if curvy and not linear.

example.. you see snow path slowly morphing into spring (with no snow on path)... fall (leaves on path) etc... with each seasons environment.. like trees no leaves, then trees with colorfull .. yada yada yada

and this could serve well througout the whole year.

its kind of like hinting that we can have fun all year long without rubbing :bye2: it in peoples faces and by putting it in a nice manner.

and over all of that slap on the speedo and logo and comment.


here is a pic of what i mean. took me maybe about 40 min or so (searching for the right pics took time).
can better get the idea ....

i actually only started by writing the idea but then said it will be fun trying to get my point across by using a pic.

just saw steves statement.. is also nice.

[Klint]

Some of these ideas are good.

Wont be long untill some rights activists start saying we're condoning cronic speeding. :D

[Benman]

RS4Ever,

That last one looks pretty cool, just put in the RS speedo.:thumb:

The one with the RS 4 wheel and caliper looks sweet as well.

Ben:addict:

[steve]

Very good idea RS4Ever! Looks good!

[Sean]

That '280km/h and climbing' looks pretty silly when it doesn't say 280 but 250/310 on the speedometer. :)

[Erik]

I hear you.

RS4Ever, I like the idea but it looks a bit too much 'flower-power' for my taste :D

Now your talking....

280 and climbing with speed showing over 300......

[roozbeh007]

I'm going to be honest guys. none of it have been done by a pro. designs are just too out dated. please do not use any of those samples. use the website logo for the name RS6.

[Erik]

Use http://www.rs6.com/img/logo.gif (remove .com)

Yes.

But some complain the S looks like a 5

R56.com
RS6.com

:vhmmm:

[GoFastKindaGuy]

Tiny point: Watch the background contrast on the dot in .com. The red gets lost. But then, so what. By now, we all know it is there.

New version.

The needle on the speedo will be animated :revs: once we (or I :D ) set the design.

Inputs please.

I would like to have a bigger "RS6.com" logo.

[mi021le]

I like it eric. keep the 300km i think its tight. :0: but keep playing with it.

Erik, I think the design is good...but just a thought, how about you make the speedy glow halogen green and the needle red..or maybe any other lighting combination...anyways the design is cool..

erik,
keep the logo that size.. it looks good IMO

and this logo will be even better since you say the needle will move... sweet.

[sturs6]

That newest one looks nice Erik. Keep up the good work. We look forward to the decision as well as the new page.

I should change that to the new site and not page singular... unless there will be a 500hp CTS-V page:hihi:

[SoCal]

I like it.

The only suggestion I'd make is that the "6" in RS6.com gets kind of lost. Maybe a different color or tone, or maybe make the letters shadowed. Not bigger, just so it's easier to read.

But overall, the simple look (without the kph slogan) and with the animated speedo looks really cool.:thumb:

yeah looks good. i saw it move.
but it wont be streched/pixelized (the wheel,250,logo) like that right?

[freerider]

Tbh honest, I don't like it too much. Don't get me wrong, I really like the idea but not how it's done. The needle obviously needs some work. It just looks to ms paint like. And I think it bounces too much.

And for the future, make sure the playback is continous and smooth.
