It’s been a while since I talked about WP News Theme — my Freemium WordPress magazine theme coming really soon. So I thought I might give you an update of what’s going on since today’s International WordPress Day.

Although it’s been ~5 months since the I first started, I can assure you I haven’t forgotten about it and I’ve been making great progress recently. Since February, I counted 7 total complete internal redesigns on the layout! Each revision, I got closer to want I felt was worthy, so to say. Here’s a glimpse of what the logo looks like:

Like I said, this is a magazine theme so I wanted to capture that theme in the logo as well. It’s still in PSD format but I’m going to convert it in illustrator to make it scalable and vector-ish!

Logo’s looking awesome, but what about the theme?

Ah, yes. To tell you the truth, the actual theme is around 60% complete. Annoyed by Photoshop’s unrealistic text rendering and other small quirks, I decided to move to Stage 2, HTML/CSS markup to get a better feel of the layout. That’s where I’m at now, setting everything in stone so that once I make the conversion to WordPress, it’ll be a piece of cake.

I can’t wait to release this super customizable theme, it’s targeted to be the best of it’s class!

P.S. I also donated to WordPress today and hope that they continue to make WordPress as best as possbile!
