Maybe change the navigation to be more outstanding, if you have only a few buttons (like you seem to do) a vertical menu beneath the logo works quite well (see TL) | ||

Maybe change the navigation to be more outstanding, if you have only a few buttons (like you seem to do) a vertical menu beneath the logo works quite well (see TL) I thought about that, too (a horizontal menu), but the dilemma there is that there really is only 3 main parts of the site: news (home page, archive, and individual post page), forums, and replays. I don't think that's enough items to justify putting a menu under the header and pushing everything down more (and if I push things up it'll just look cluttered). Anyhow, I toned down the drop shadows.. ![[image loading]](http://vgcache.com/datas/images/5242-quantum7.jpg) | ||

Looks very nice now! Now the only thing that needs improvement is the clan name text, if you manage to make it stand out yet be decent it's a very nice concept. Use a different font for that one, notice how a lot of company logos are text that has been adjusted slightly? For example, Microsoft has that little cut out-o and s brought close together: ![[image loading]](http://mgc-computer.ch/Bilder/microsoft_logo.jpg){kind=logo} bigfile has those green dots and the "squarish" ending curves going ![[image loading]](http://www.bigfile.co.kr/_template/service/images/main_2010/img_logo_ori.gif){kind=logo} It makes your logo more distinguishable! (You can turn font into selection paths and adjust those in case you don't know how to make these things) Edit: Oh and how do you plan to integrate this into your browser? Because the marine picture at the top right will look cut out if you just insert it into a black background. Unless you want to map your site to the right top corner of the browser you should enlarge the picture add some fade out to black. | ||

However, it seems like a lot of the content isn't very organized or hierarchical. It's difficult to immediately (and I mean instantly – there is no leisure on the web) tell what is most important, what is second most important, etc. Everything looks a bit too similar (and not in the intentional, consistent design way). Moving your boxes around and working them into a strict grid system might help with the hierarchy, as might more interesting typographic choices. A custom logotype, like fanta suggested, is pretty much always a good decision. Also, never use Arial for anything but body text (and even then, only on the web)! Good start, keep at it. | ||
