Letters are bigger and bolder. Much better for these aging eyes.
Something works on mobile now that never worked for me on the old site. When I go to People now, the sub-menus for Biography, Songs, etc. open for each Beatle. Very nice.

I've managed to sort out a whole load of little things that I was never able to fix before, including the mobile menu.
Do let me know if anything looks broken though, particularly if you have an iPhone (I work on a Mac and have a Pixel phone and tablet, so can test those OK).

Wow, I really like it. Keeps the spirit of the site but makes it more fresh. I approve. It’s getting better all the time around here.

Don't know if you worked on it, Joe, but I can search again.

I didn't work on that one, but the error might have been due to something I was working on at the time. Glad it's fixed now, but do please let me know if it happens again.

I've added some new logos to the top of the page. There are eight and they appear randomly. I'm not sure if they all work, so any feedback is welcome.
Help ! (US):
MMT:
Meet The Beatles!:
The Beatles' Second Album:
Classic logo:
The White Album :
There are also three little extra images that appear randomly in the top right corner, just for decoration:
Finally, I spent way too long making this, for no particular reason. It's too big for a logo. I don't think it really works anyway – the site name doesn't really lend itself to being spread over multiple lines like this, but never mind!

I dunno if these function differently on computer/tablet/phone, but I've not seen any of them show up on my mobile. But the examples mostly look really nice to me, Joe - with the exception of that sloppy misshapen "sEcoNd AlbUm" font, which I always found as hideous as that album cover itself.
I don’t know how much experience you have, but what if you had an AI chatbot installed for favorite Beatles songs and questions viewers may have?
For what possible reason? Answers to most anything can be read here, or discussed with the pool of knowledgeable users.

Yeah, you're right. For some reason they only show up on desktop. I'll see if I can fix it, but we might have to stick with the standard logo for mobile.
Edit: Yep, it's a quirk of the theme I'm using (Astra), that the header image is fixed on mobile. I tried!
I'm not going to put an AI chatbot on this website.

Sorry for locking myself away, but I’ll always come back again someday. I return to see these incredible logos at the top of the page. They really do give the page visual flair. Very well done. Probably like the MMT one the most.

I love the new logos! I'm also glad you posted them all here, because, being who I am, I would've otherwise sat & refreshed the page over and over until I had collected 'em all like Pokemon.
I think my favorite is the Yellow Submarine one. I love the mono & stereo too.

New to Forumpool? You can introduce yourself here.
If you love The Beatles Bible, and you have adblock, don't forget to white-list this site!
Here's one that didn't get used, because it wasn't very recognisable (and isn't all that nice to look at): Yesterday and Today:
For anyone wondering, here are some Beatles-related fonts, most of them free:
- A Hard Day's Night : AHDN and Arial
- Help !: I just moved the letters around in Photoshop. The bottom row is Arial. There's also a UK Help! font which I didn't use.
- Magical Mystery Tour : MMT
- Meet The Beatles!: again, I just moved letters around in PS. VenusianUltraNF is supposed to be close though. The bottom row is AnnonceW01-Regular.
- The Beatles' Second Album: Ditto, but Ad Lib Regular is close.
- Classic logo: Bootle and AHDN (Bootle is annoying because the letter B is always upper case, so I had to play around with the sizing)
- White Album : Helvetica Now Bold
- Yellow Submarine : Two Yellow Submarine rows of different colours. The green text was Times Bold.
- Yesterday and Today: Siegfried and Franklin Gothic Medium
- Sgt Pepper : Sgt Peppers (only the outline version is free, so I paid for the full typeface)
- Mono/stereo: I grabbed these from the albums, but Annonce is close.
The biggest headache was MMT, which involved the creation of the rainbow burst, plus a horizontal rainbow layer, creating two rows of curved text (clear and black), then getting all the rainbows to line up. It came out well in the end but it was a lot of effort (I'm a bit of a Photoshop hack and I'm sure there are quicker methods than mine).
