New logo, need skin and advice

Frog Engine Forum (http://www.frogengine.com/forum) has been around for a while now, but never really caught on. I now have a new logo and new inspiration. In addition to the new mods, I would like to get some advice on what to do to graphically enhance it.

Well, my first suggestion, reduce the whitespace in the logo like this.

done thanks

2nd suggestion but my 1st....

Amend your header to match the background colour of your forum. Having the logo centered like that with a different colour to that of the forum background colour doesn't look cool.

sorry but how do I change the color in vb? Looking now ...

Actually, I'd sort the header template out to be honest. If you want a centerend logo - use a 1 row, 3 cell header - with the right and left most cells having no content but the background colour the same as the background colour of your logo.

How's that...?

Yes, sounds good!

Have you looked through our free skins? Maybe one there will fit your needs.

OK, I now see the logo on the left which in my opinion is better. Now perhaps make the rest of the header background the same colour as the logo background which will improve things no end.

Then you might want to make the colours of the fixed colour default vB classes, a similar shade of green to that which you have in your logo. Then create some gradients in maybe a slightly darker green to replace the default vB .tcat and .thead gradients.

Then, as some might say... "you're smoking"...:)
