Feral Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 I just put Mojo through a time machine, and here are the results...enjoy!
Riffage Posted January 1, 2003 Posted January 1, 2003 ahh yes, wayback machine, anyone who's been in #monkey-island has probably seen this before. But still nice to look at how goof mojo7 was... hmm....
Thrik Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Hehe, cool. Jake gave the URLs to a few recently, here, here, here and here while promising the rest to be up soon. ;o Those web archive ones load really slow for me and half of the images end up broken. And yeah Riffage, Mojo 7 was beautiful. It's a shame it was replaced.
Spaff Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 yeah it was pretty huh? got too crowded tho. mojo 9 will kill everyone. ive got the earlier mojo sites somewhere ill upload them
Thrik Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 The colours that now make up Mojo would normally burn your eyes, but somehow they work together well.
Erwin_Br Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 The orange design brings back lots of memories.... Awww.... --Erwin
BooJaka Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 That reminds me, this incarnation of Mojo (Mojo 8? I forget) would be better if it had curves like before. That may have been restrictive and taken out for a very good reason I don't know but, gosh it was pretty.
Erwin_Br Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 I agree with BooJaka. I would rate the previous design with the 'curved head' number one. Todays design is neat, but it doesn't have that big bombastic touch that I so much adore --Erwin
Riffage Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 right, well all mojo users agree we should have either mojo7 or mojo8 with curves.... go make it!
Huz Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 I think the main reason the curves were done away with is the fact that Mojo took approximately 3000 years to load with them on (at least on a modem, if the images were not in your cache). They also took up an inordinate amount of screen space, really. I don't think Teh Mojo looks too much different without them.
Remi Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 There were features I liked in Mojo 7, but Mojo 8 is a lot less bloated, though maybe a wee bit square. Still, I'm sure Mojo 9 will 0wnz 'em all.
Thrik Posted January 4, 2003 Posted January 4, 2003 Square websites look too generic, you need curves or odd shapes to keep us impressed. Come on Mojo 9, do us proud.
BooJaka Posted January 4, 2003 Posted January 4, 2003 Yes, we are the MTV generation, do away with your geometric rules and give us curves! Who need symmetry when you've got cool shapes (except possibly a circle. They're quite cool)? So keep us coming back for more, Mojo9.
Sarah Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 There will always be a special place in my heart for the Halloween version of Mojo 7, with Manny smoking right above the Mojo logo.
Jake Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Let us not forget the adorably noisy MiniMojo, or the oh so dark Back from the Dead page. Also a large chunk of Mojo 5 showed up at some point, probably from Spaff.
Erwin_Br Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Speaking of the site, why is it EVERY friday your birthday Jake? --Erwin
QueZTone Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 its all about design and design-wise the current mojo is the best. It's the slickest and most professional look of them all. With the previous mojo I felt it was a great/awesome design too but when i compare that one with the current I think: "Nahh, that title image is too....sex-site neon-like". The current is just the best design-wise. Okay some people would like curves, well, I've been told RTX will have some, be patient. Oh and curves for the mojo 9? Hmm, a cartoony site is okay but the tabs-look of the current design is just it baby, mojo design owns you
BooJaka Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 I remember the first time I ever came across this page in 1998 I think it was when it must've been something like Mojo 3. There was a menu at the bottom with a woodgrain texture and all the pictures were carved out of it. I always like that effect.
QueZTone Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 hmm i retract my opinion sketched above.. i think the previous mojo is definitly good, the curves are good. there are just a couple of fonts that need to be changed as few small other things. In fact a mixed bag of the current mojo and the previous would be total ownage. i suddenly got an yearning (sp??) to the previous mojo. I like the cartoony effect a lot more for the mixnmojo instead of profesionallity a lot more after all! yay for the previous mojo =]

She claims that its my birthday every day or nearly every day. Something might be going on here ¬_¬_¬_¬

We weren't going for professionality really. Well, I wasn't. I just went through a phase where I was obsessed with making squareish sites. See http://www.samandmax.net . Also another example (actually the end of this evil phase) is http://www.lfnetwork.com . My newer designs have a little more life in them again, see http://www.lucasfiles.com . Of course its still mildly squareish, but its a website
