Colors look nice. Make the logo smaller. It is 2 big. Also maybe change the logo colors a little bit to make it look better on that green thing.

I am going to get a completely new logo, as soon as I can get in touch with my graphic designer.

I want to know if those two colors go well together.

I like your old logo much better. But, if you like the current one then change the bg color from white to your page bg color. The menu needs to be changed, maybe like some kinda icon or bullet.

The colors look a little like pea soup to me - but that might just be monitor.

I agree that the logo needs to be smaller. And adding some more graphics would really help jazz it up.

OK, I am getting my graphic designer to make a new (smaller) logo, and some graphic buttons for the menu bar, and I will make them change on mouseover. Sound good? If you can, go and check it out in about half an hour.

Hey - pretty much the same comments from here. I'd also recommend that you change the link colors to something that either matches the color scheme (probably a dark green or maybe even black) you have going instead of the blue - sorry... it really clashes

Overall, it's a great, easy-to-navigate and understand design... keep up the good work.

The new colors are much easier on the eyes I like them a lot.

THe logo looks completly out of place though, but as I have read above, I understand that a new logo will be created soon enough.

For me, the logo is on top of the ad..you may want to change that.

I intentionally put the logo there to keep cover up the ad that I am forced with. For me, the ad is invisible.

You can actually see it?

I can see a small part of the right side of it yes.
I am in 1024x768 resolutions.

I think that the colors go well, but you need another color in there, i dont know why, but it seems to be missing a color!

Personally i dont really like the current graphic, and plus it doesnt go with the rest of the site!!

The menu needs a better form of presentation, like justin said, maybe some bullets or something!!

one question, why does your logo cover up the banner behind it? is it meant to?

Yeah- I think the purpose was to cover up the banner - which not to mention is probably against VirtualAve's TOS. Anyway, I can see a tiny bit of the right side of the banner on 800x600.

The logo doesn't go with the page at all. Also - why are you hiring a graphic designer for the logo? Cause if you want to do website design then I think you should know at least a few graphics programs...

Just my money...

This is much better than when I last visited the site.

Colors - nice. The logo is a bit big and looks out of place -- maybe you should put it in the same table as the text and just change the cell bgcolor.

Im not sure that I understand correctly:

You want me to out it in the manilla cell and change the bg color to the same as the pea soup cell?

Also, how do you like those colors?

I really like the updated link colors - I know it was mentioned - but it really is easier on the eyes now

About the logo - I also think you need to change it...

And about adding a color - what color would look good with that current scheme? I can't think of anything but I guess try some basic ones out first if you want to add another color or two there that flows with the design.

What Kind of logo do you suggest? Do you think you could describe it to me? I thought the one I have now looks good. I guess I am wrong.
