一個人做夢,就只是夢;
一群人一起做夢,夢想就會成真。——約翰藍濃
“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”
─ John Lennon ─
當初因為鳥,從一開始語文翻譯、搶票演練、韓國當地引路,到後來認識了丙、雪人、J、M,透過不同小黃的視野,得知了更多我當初所錯過的哥哥故事;這一個群組集結才短短不到半年的時間,每天不間斷的聊天瞎槓,天南地北的推坑(比夜市叫賣哥所推賣的東西還扯~可以說是什麼都推什麼都不奇怪),築起了我們迅速躺在水晶坑底的友誼。
Since I knew 鳥, we experienced the difficulty of translating Korean, ticketing, finding our way in Korea… Then, 丙, 雪人, J, and M joined us… I got to know more about our Jekki oppa’s stories through different Yellkie’s point of view. We knew each other less than 7 mouths but have already built real friendship through our line group chatting and luring one another into our endless love of Sechskies via all kinds of “you cannot imagine” discussions …. (It’s really amazing that we also push one another to buy something that’s related to Sechskies or Yellow… things more than you can imagine… XD)
帶著滿滿的感動與歡笑,大邱場落幕後,從慌亂的飯製活動到演唱會應援的一切,也在我們彼此的心裡深深埋下一個種子,那就是想要讓更多小黃在追著哥哥的路上,能有更多的協助,在這個坑裡更能坐好坐滿(乾脆自己挖個坑埋起來)。
With deeply moved emotion and joy at the end of Sechskies’ 20th anniversary local tour in Daegu, we all have this dream to help more yellkies to know everything of Sechskies so we may all truly fall in love with our Jekki oppa.
有鑑於當初到處找、到處看各種教學與翻譯文所經歷的艱辛,為了各種認證,本人的語文苦手度屢屢破新高,要不是其他五個人不離不棄的引導我一步步的申請,我很有可能就默默的從飯圈裡自我移除變成路人飯吧~相信或許也有很多跟我一樣剛入坑的小黃們,因為語言、因為各種認證疑問、因為擔心國外人生地不熟…在許多許多的因為下,慢慢的轉為路人。
For me, I really had a hard time to verify all types of membership when I tried to join the official cafe or register for ticketing system. Since I didn’t realize Korean and was not very good at English, I though I might become a pass-by fan without the help from the other five members of YC. With regard to the concerns of language barriers, questions of verification, worries of being in a strange country… for a new fan, these things may easily stall one’s love and interest to know more about Sechskies.
假如因為這些「因為」而散掉了這些珍貴的新血們,這對於我們深愛的水晶哥哥們是最大的損失。所以我們就想說… 啊~乾脆這樣,我們自己來架站吧?把所有需要的工具文、教學文、交通文,通通幫小黃整理起來吧~自己可以當作紀錄也可以幫助人,一兼二顧摸蜆仔兼洗褲(JEKKI ZZANG \^0^/ )~~~
So…. that’s why we came up with this idea to have our own website. By collecting and integrating all needed instructions for being a yellkie, we hope to help to strengthen the new yellkies and also leave a record for ourselves so our beloved Jekki oppa may keep and attract more yellowkies.
PS.我們每次都嚷著要悠閒一點的追星,結果每次都愈搞愈大是怎麼回事?
人家是一瞑大一寸,我們是一瞑瘋一吋(愈挖愈深的坑XD)
我再也不要相信你們說要放空啦!輕鬆點! 的鬼話了!
那這個網站要叫啥呢?我們亂七八糟的發想,水晶中毒(?)水晶瘋狂(對~啊~)我很黃(不要想歪)……..最後決定了叫做YELLOW CRAZY簡稱YC(好沒創意~哈哈哈)
Later on, we had a hard time on naming this website…. at the end…. we just decided to call our website “Yellow Crazy (YC)”… (Hum…not very creative name)
說做就做的 J,立馬就買了跟哥哥簽約時間一樣久的專用網址、網路代管伺服器和架站軟體(要反悔都來不及了XD),然後大家開始想各種要放進去網站的架構跟分類,慢慢整理出現在看到的樣貌(會一點一點變得更好的)。
Then, J immediately purchased a 3-year contract for our own website address and co-location server, and we just started to organize our website….
然後,有天我心血來用 google 搜尋YELLOW CRAZY(大家可以去試試喔),結果發現我們的排序,最大的敵人竟然是這個!!!
One day, I suddenly came up with this idea to google “YELLOW CRAZY” (you may also try this) and results showed that the only thing ranked before us is this …..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_crazy_ant
我跟 J 說現在我們只要想辦法幹掉這螞蟻,我們就是第一順位了!!!(好大的心願)
So… I told J we just need to knock off this “ANT” and we will list at the first place of the search result… (this will be our dream as well… )
有了站,有了分類,還缺什麼? 對,我們需要一個代表YELLOW CRAZY的標誌,然後這個工作當然就非我這個職業人不可了(明明還有一個選手)。 我很想把六角水晶的概念延伸到我們的設計上,但是怕跟宰鎮LOGO的六角角度相同會有爭議,所以採用了正六角型的設計。而我們 YELLOW CRAZY Logo 的英文字體,就在我試完了字庫裡1856種字體後(有圖有證據喔~出家人不打狂語~~善哉善哉),赫然發現了我們水晶哥哥們官方CI「 SECHSKIES」 所使用的字體(我是絕對不會告訴你哪個字體的)!!!!!
Then, what else do we need for this website? We need a LOGO to represent YELLOW CRAZY. So… this becomes my job since I am a professional designer. I really wanted to cooperate the hexagon concept into our LOGO design but just worried this might be similar to JJ’s original design of the Sechskies Logo. Finally, I adopted a regular hexagon shape with exactly the same font used by the SECHSKIES official LOGO (after I tried 1856 types of fonts… can’t believe I finally find it!!! )
還用說嗎?當下就決定就用這個字體囉~~~(竟然真的找到了)
六角加上英文字體,再搭配多種排列組合的發想,我最後整理了幾種設計給群組票選。然後,我們不但自己票選,還去各自去問了專業設計師和行銷專家~(真的不騙你!我們這一群只要認真起來,連我們自己都會嚇一跳)。最後最後Logo 裡再配上很帥的 「S」,一個完全不同於水晶的六角LOGO但又完整延伸水晶概念的設計就這樣出爐了。
I finally designed the following sets of LOGO draft to let our members vote for the best one. As usual…. we are a group of “very serious persons” when we want to be like that… XD We not just voted for our favorite LOGO… we also asked our coworkers (the professional designs and marketing pro) to provide their opinions…. Finally, we picked this hexagon shape LOGO adding a “S” feature layer that was unique but able to show an extension of the SECHSKIES concept. (I personally felt really satisfied with my design…. well… )
(我自己覺得挺滿意的,工作時有這麼認真就好了)
票選完畢後,在做最後修正時,再考量把 Logo 壓在圖版上時會被底圖色調影響的各種可能性,我最後完成了主LOGO跟浮水印的設計,往後可以交互搭配使用。這樣不管多複雜的背景,我們的設計都可以穩妥妥的碾壓過去,視覺清楚,光彩動人~閃閃發亮~(什麼鬼啦)
With the consideration of the possibility of the uses of LOGO on different patterns, I slightly revised the Logo and made the watermark for our uses from now on.
[以下請隊長出來幫我們做個示範吧…]
Here is the example for using our LOGO on the photo….. ^^
這一個飽含我們的心意與水晶(宰鎮)概念的標誌出爐!
我們是YELLOW CRAZY,請多多指教!!!
有空歡迎隨時來玩耍聊天~一起在這坑裡把自己埋的越來越深吧~~
So…. this is how we made this website and designed the Yellow Crazy Logo, with all our love to Sechskies. Welcome to visit us and hope we may become more addicted to our Jekki oppa….
