RIP Big Daddy Wayne

sad forum news

say hi to the other passed forumgers and ride in peace

I don't really know what to say, everything has already been said.

You were a gent and will be missed by many gaffer. RIP.

Such sad news. RIP BDW. Hope your sparkling away somewhere... will dig out my Sparkle Motion T and wear it with a smile.

Big love big man.

RIP

@Velocio thanks for putting the logo black. I wish there was a darker colour for today.

Farewell BDW.

A top forumenger whose posts I always enjoyed.

I think the same. Already considered making it darker somehow... but when I do that it looks neon (black background, black logo, light grey trim on the logo).

black on black. somehow i think he'd approve.

RIP top bloke.

Wish I was back there with you guys to raise a glass to Wayne, makes me feel a long, long way from home... I'll be there in spirit... 🍻

The forum is now the correct level of black. Which is to say, it can't go more black, which is the least I can do to honour the man.

:)

devastated to hear this. rest in peace wayne.

You realise he wouldn't approve.

Totally ruins the font of the logo.

I have my black on black CUTTERS tee on in memoriam.

He'd approve of a slightly grey logo making it look like it was embossed however, lose the keyline.

I'd fix it - slag off designers, make some comment about going outside the lines and Comic Sans is all anyone needs and he'd chuckle and slag me off and tell me I should stick to wrestling crocs or something else bogan.

Fuck, No.
Others have been more eloquent than I.

RIP Wayne

Fixed.

He hated it when I made changes like this.

He had this little anecdote he'd remind me of, about first impressions and shipping things less than perfect. About (metaphorically) walking to the shops in PJs and meeting a client there, how you cannot undo that impression, so you cannot present design badly at any time and if it's not ready he wasn't going to give me the work to release, and that could I please not make changes and iterate publicly... which I still do. But of course, he'd end it with a "It's up to you Boss, you're the gaffer." because he was like that.

I'll always remember this - post #17

Never met wayne, but enjoyed his forum presence and his WAC design, will wear my shirt in remembrance

Such sad news! RIP you lovely chap.

Hahahaha!

Oh fuck, I just laughed out loud at that.

And my workmate turned and said, "What you laughing at?", so my reply was, "Well, a friend died the other day"... and I was going to finish that sentence with "and he was such a funny fucker, and people are sharing some of the things he posted"... but there was no point, damage done, my workmate now thinks I am a sick bastard.

Thanks Big Daddy Wayne!
