Right, it’s the 31st of October. In spirit of the coming Halloween parties we’d like to spark some design flavour by showcasing Halloween redesigns we’ve stumbled upon over the last few days. Pumpkins, skeletons, dark colors and spiders can be found almost in every Halloween design. In some cases designers replace some of the logo elements by visual elements (images or Flash-movies); other designers tend to add dark background colors and an according Halloween theme to the web-site’s header. And sometimes the whole design is completely replaced with a Halloween theme.

Smashing Halloween Logo Redesigns

Last week we’ve presented some beautiful wallpapers and tutorials in our Halloween Roundup: Wallpapers And Tutorials and asked our readers to send us their redesigns of our Smashing Magazine logo. As a result we’ve got a number of Smashing Pumpkings which we’d like to present in this post as well. And we’ve also replaced our logo with the Halloween logo designed by Marian Buhnici (first logo in the list below).

Thanks to all designers for participation!
