Certainly better than anything I could do (but I am about the least talented artist around). But here are a few semi-random thoughts: The second two I'm not keen on as I don't think the feet work as either 'G' or 'O'. Not sure about the coloured toes either. On a more general note, I'm not a fan of banner type logos. They mean that you have to give the page a fixed width, which means you're losing stuff off the side if the user has a narrow window, and not making full use of the space if they've got a wide one. An alternative would be to produce a transparent image with just a logo and/or text, put that in the top left corner and give the whole of the page header a background using CSS. Having said that, I do like the blue background effect you've got; maybe this in a vertical stripe could be used as a sidebar background (though you then get problems with differing font sizes, but I'm trying not to get carried away like that - I've a tendency to end up with graphic-free web pages if I'm not careful). The biggest problem is the image size. The existing logo on the website is 59kB and you've only shave a couple of K off of that. Your target should be 5-6kB - reckon you can manage to do something that size? Cheers, - olly
