Presenting The New KSiteTV!

Presenting The New KSiteTV!

KSiteTV

Done in time for this year’s Comic-Con International which we will be covering extensively here at KSiteTV, this website now has a new, ideally more accessible look!

Feel free to pop around and leave feedback. Hopefully this new look will be a bit more inviting to get people to browse, and if there are shows or features you’d like to read about here at the site, please let us know.

The forum still feeds into the forums at KryptonSite, and you can find lists of what forums and sub-sites are available at the very top of this page.

This site aims to be a portal for TV news from the same people that bring you KryptonSite. As much as I enjoy creating new TV sites – CapeSite.net for The Cape being the latest addition to the “KryptonSite Network” – it is becoming more and more obvious that people often would rather be able to find all of their news in one place, and it seems the networks seem to appreciate a more generalized site over something individual as well.

There are a lot of good new shows to cover here, and some projects in development, like a possible TV project involving DC Comics’ Blue Beetle – that really excite me, and hopefully can read about that more on KSiteTV.

I liked the old look for the site – it’s even been appropriated for Avengersite, our portal for Marvel Comics TV and movie news – but I think a more news-based rather than blog-based design would work better here. Hopefully I am right.

Thanks again to Cyclonekat for the new site logo… and don’t forget you can subscribe to this site via RSS at http://www.ksitetv.com/feed/rss/, you can follow the KryptonSite Network/KSiteTV on Twitter, and you can become a “fan” on Facebook! Hope you like this!

– Craig!

Announcing Our Logo Contest Winner – Cyclonekat!

Announcing Our Logo Contest Winner – Cyclonekat!

The search for a new KSiteTV logo for our upcoming redesign is now complete!

Some fantastic and original submissions came in, from some very talented people. Of those submissions, there was a specific design that I really fell in love with… it totally matched what I was hoping for with the new site redesign, and it also seemed to have a very cool brand/identity that is frankly, not something I could have come up with myself.

This design came courtesy of Cyclonekat, who is no stranger to the world of fantastic art among Smallville fandom. I’d been impressed by her work in the past and I’m very impressed here. I think the “KS” part of the TV logo might still be fudged around a bit, but this is definitely the sort of thing you’ll see when the new KSiteTV redesign rolls out within the next few days leading to Comic-Con.

Here is her entry:

So a huge THANK YOU to those people who took the time to submit – I really appreciate that each and every one of you shared your talent. If there’s any interest I can and will post some of those submissions here on KSiteTV. And of course thanks to Cyclonekat, for the fantastic logo – I hope you enjoy your prizes!

Contest: Design KSiteTV’s New Logo!

Comic-Con is only a few weeks away, and just in time for that we’re hoping to do a redesign for KSiteTV. Within that redesign will be a new, better logo than what I have currently posted.

The problem? Honestly… I’m not the best when it comes to designing a logo. This is where I’m hoping for some help, and I figured I’d work out a contest to make it happen.

So here are the requirements, and the prizes:

Requirements:

- Logos should be sent to PlanetKrypton@aol.com; or you can leave a comment below with a link for what you’ve created.

- The accepted logo will become the property of KSiteTV and webmaster Craig Byrne, and all rights to use the logo will be approved and transferred to KSiteTV.

- No actual show imagery (promotional photos, etc.) are permitted. I’d actually prefer the logo to not be show-specific at all, because the shows covered here at KSiteTV will always change.

- Ideally, the logo would fit in a spot somewhere around 400 pixels wide by 90 pixels deep. This IS negotiable – if you want to go less wide, feel free; and if you go bigger you will not be disqualified – I’ll just work around that!

- Logo submissions must be sent in before Monday, July 12. I understand that’s only a week turnaround but I want to be sure to get this all done before Comic-Con!

Prizes:

The selected entry will get a notice on this site (of course!) but as far as actual goods, hopefully this is good enough:

- Smallville: The Official Companion Season 6 and Season 7 books, signed by the author (me!), Craig Byrne. If I can coax any cast members I know to sign the book also, I will try, but no promises.

- A t-shirt with the KSiteTV logo on it, in the size of your choice, at whichever point shirts are made.

—-

Hopefully at least some entries will come in here. I know the KSiteTV/KryptonSite fan community has some really talented people. Thanks for reading KSiteTV, and thanks especially to those of you who are interested in participating in the contest! Any questions, please e-mail or leave them below.

Reader Poll: What Would You Rather See From The Site Network?

In the few months of its existence, KSiteTV has aimed to cover an assortment of television shows, including new pilots, as an extension of the original KryptonSite.com and spin-off sites.

As we go to the future, there’s a question of what to do if there are shows with more demand than others. Would you like to see them in their own individualized sites or domains or would you prefer to all postings to stay here in one domain, with easy-to-organize categories?

Please vote in the poll below. And if there ARE shows you’d like to either see more coverage for or see featured with their own dedicated site in the site network, please leave a comment in the Comments section below! Thanks!


And thanks again to those who have already started making a habit of visiting this new site. It’s appreciated.
