The logo is obviously on a dark background in the template. It's simple, and I believe gets across the point of the boards as a hub for Aether fans, but also a place for card obsessed people in general.

Yes I copied the link and put it in a new tab to look at it and it looks very simple and elegant and flows with the boards very well.

Oh wow really nice, great job Alex you put so much work and effort into us here and we do really really appreciate it :)
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

That's a very nice design! I think it will look good on the new discourse. Hopefully you have some more teasers and whatnot soon for the discourse v2

I really like it, it adds a modern hook. I still really love the logo even though it's sold. Where/when did you think of it?

A very revealing preview. :)

Looks good - I'm looking forward to seeing how it works.

Hey Alex, looks great. I think that will work nicely for the forums and be a bit more general, but keep your cool logo in there.

A couple super minor suggestions:

- check the kerning, particularly on the "T HE"
- it looks to my eye that the word "The" is like 1 pixel off in its vertical alignment with the word Discourse. It looks like its just slightly of and doesn't quite align to the other letterforms.
- maybe just me, but the ascender in the R is slightly thinner than that of the other letters, and looks slightly less bold because of it.
