Site design review 1

[AtomicChip]

Hey all,

I'm not a graphic artist, so I appreciate any help and/or suggestions. I just have a .png of the base site template and I'm looking for any feedback on the logo and the template graphic.

Thanks in advance,

Hi

I like the design. Nice color scheme, clearly delimited navigation elements. But I think that logo is ugly.

I hope the big image on left is part of the page content, not of the design.

If you set a bigger font size for the text on right, will be even better.

LOL... Awesome...

Pretty much thought the same thing about the logo myself. Needs some reworking methinks

I hope the big image on left is part of the page content, not of the design.

Note entirely sure what you mean by that... But to clarify the useage: The site will be almost entirely flash-based (with a c# backend) - the image will actually be a pannable (is that really a word? ) 360 degree view of the bar.

Thanks for the input though - it solidified my thinking the logo sucks (ah well, first attempt at designing a logo... back to the drawing board).

Hi

Before a complete redesign of the logo I would try to change it abit. For example by adding some fade effect to the white margin. Lets say, light gray at the outer border, fading to white near the letters. Or some shades of pink around the letters, to give it something like a neon effect. Eh, let's finish here, I am not graphician, just thinking too much.

If the image will have such a functionality, then is ok. I was afraid, you want to put a huge static image there, just to fill the space.

Really nice layout. For the logo I would suggest: use the light blue color from the lamps in the image for example #0575f8, choose font that's art nouveau style (you can google that up ) because the decorations on the back of the chairs in the image suggest that style and don't rotate the logo.

I agree that the logo needs work. It looks too funky to go with the higher class bar and website. Maybe clean simple type would work better.....The logo's not bad, it just doesn't fit the look of the client.
