Inkipedia Redesign

Since Inkipedia's signature green layout derives from Splatoon 1's theme color being green, shouldn't we now change Inkipedia's logo to be the purple one now since Splatoon 2's theme color is purple, along with the rest of the layout of the site?

Personally, I don't think it's necessary. If you look at the Splatoon 2 Logo, you'll see there is still plenty of green in it. Purple is only added as a second colour, so the wiki's current colour scheme still fits. Also consider the fact that Splatoon 3 might use yet another colour scheme. If that's true, do we need to change the colours of the wiki again? Constantly changing colours would give the site a more dynamic look, but not a consistent one. Other wiki's usually stick to one colour scheme. I'm not against the idea of changing colours (Splatoon is all about colours, and the wiki needs to represent that), but we should not change things for the sake of changing things. I'm afraid that changing colours might have it's consequences. Green and Purple are very different colours, so changing the colour scheme would not only change the wiki's look, but also it's feel. Maybe it would be a good idea to first create a testpage with a new colour scheme, to see how it looks. You can let other editors look at it too and ask for their opinion. Maybe it would be fun to try out a combination of green and purple colours for the wiki, like the Splatoon 2 logo does. That way, the wiki will remain some it's current looks, but with more flavour added to it. But test it out first. WarioSuperstar (talk) 23:17, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

I think that's a great idea. Thanks for the feedback! Sigma talk 23:21, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Though, if I'm being honest, I have no idea how to do that. Sigma talk 23:29, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't know either... I also don't know if any normal user can edit the colours of the wiki at all. What I can do, is make screenshots of wiki pages and edit the colours, so we can get a good feel of what different colours would do to a page. I hope this helps.

I like the look of the purple color scheme. I say we should at least try it out to see how people think of it. Kittenchilly (talk) 02:09, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Glad you like it. It doesn't change the look of the site as much as I feared, but there are still some problems. You know that defect links on this site are red, right. If the text is purple, it's pretty hard to see wich links work and which don't. This is easier when the text is in a different colour. That's why I made a third mock-up. In this mock-up, the borders and logo are pink-purple and the text remains the same as it is now. What do you guys think of that? WarioSuperstar (talk) 11:20, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
