Customize Community Login page

Is there an easy way to customize the standard SF Community Login Page to display a message directing some Commnunity users to the appropriate site?

There is not much text that can be shown on the login page when you customize it using the out-of-box customizations,

however, you can use Visualforce to customize/override this page show your own - tips on the thread:https://developer.salesforce.com/forums?id=906F00000009AjMIAU

According to Salesforce development support one cannot modify the standard Community Login page. Here is a very good article describing a way to do a custom login page. https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/ForumsMain?id=906F0000000AaGn

Thanks Zanga but that process is only to create a custom login page and we already did that, my problem was that going to mysite.com/login we were still seeing salesforce standard login page. After making some research, the only solution I found was adding a URL Redirect Rule to our site, so here are the steps that did the trick:

1) Create your custom login VF Page and controller like explained here: http://cloudcatamaran.com/2013/11/customer-community-customization-part-1/
2) Don't forget to add the page to your Site pages
3) Under Setup -> Develop -> Sites -> Your Site Label -> click URL Redirects button 
4) Add a New Rule with Source URL: /login and Target URL: /YourCustomLoginPage

Now going to yoursite.com/login should immediatly redirect you to your custom login vf page

The link I provided tells you what to do. Please read through it carefully. You must edit your community and set the custom login page using Force.com (Manage Communities). The article tells you what to do. I did not have to do a re-direction. Look at the controller code involved and make the necessary changes.
