Announcement Toyobaru.net Redesigned! New Design and Logo
Finally, I managed to spend the afternoon on creating a new theme and logo for Toyobaru.net. I hope it complements the awesome looks of the FT-86 and 216a. Our old design, while tried and true, was getting a bit stale. I hope everyone enjoys the new one, if you see something you like/dislike let me know!

Also, dont forget our recently launched Blog @ FT-86 Forums | Toyota FT-86 and Subaru 216a News Blog

You are 1000x better than me. I can't even draw a straight line in MS paint.

I don't think it's possible to make a straight line with ms paint.

The more I see it, the more I like it. I so far have only seen one other forum with this design style.

Could you imagine the freakouts if Zilvia suddenly looked like this?

I made that mistake to redesign zilvia once, and it wasn't well received. I feel zilvia needs a refresh, but I'm hesitant due to my past experience. However as long as it's simple stupid it should be well received, this design should be but I'd do something unique.

There's a concept in marketing that says if you change something a little bit at a time versus a one huge change it will be easier for people to swallow. This is especially true with things that have a nostalgia associated with them.

You would want it so the changes fly right under the just noticeable differences of most of the users. That way by the time they realize changes have been made, they will have already grown like them.

Now how you do that.......that's up to you to figure out lol.

Zilvia is perfect. It doesn't need a major change. IMO.
