 WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUR PROPOSED NEW LOOK?

I was going to veto the green color, but Heather Woods says that it is easy on the eyes.  I was going to go with a higher impact color, but maybe she has a point.  Hey check out the new logo!  It's a combination of yin/yang with the three leafs all interchanged.  I'm super happy with the new logo.  It's like, Zen meets nature!

Brian Fry my ops manager found this place to totally redo our site and I think they're doing an awesome job.  I welcome your comments.

Is your new logo called 'tri-sperm'?

I think you should go with blue to fit the nautical theme you have going..... Whale Tail, Puffer (fish), Sperm (whale) Logo

Sweeeeeeet.  Green is my favorite color. The logo is awesome but to me looks more like a shuriken than a Yin-Yang. I was going to say that the bright part is very bright but then I realized it goes well with "Better, Faster, Brighter"... Oh and the logo implies motion to match the "Faster" part also.

Hmmm... the green with a circular logo makes me think of Microsoft's XBOX 360. Aside from that, the layout looks great.

Green is all the rage in Paris right now!  Looks far better and much more of an impressive online presense.  Is this the possibility of a new GF branding?

Cheers!

i thought of the cigarettes too.  but i do like the logo. it can also look like a shutter opening if you squint.

I thought of the old leaf shutter on my rolliflex when i saw the logo. Like the green, but Im biased it is my favorite color as well. But it beats the grey on the current site.
Cheers

Gary,

I am embarassed of this design and would not approve or pay for it if I were you.  The logo and color scheme doesn't fit your image.  I'm not even exactly sure why.  Maybe because it looks too cookie cutter ($34.95) to me.  If LightSphere has made as much money as you say it has, you owe yourself to hire a professional designer to create a custom branded personality for your business website.  You didn't cut corners on your wedding pictures or video, so why start cutting corners now?

So...I'm not here to plug the stuido I use, but I am extremely pleased with them.  They are even based in Seattle, so you should appreciate that.

http://www.studioprima.com  You can call and ask for Lindy at Studio and let her know I sent you there. 206 325-9037 or lindy@studioprima.com.  At least ask her for her opinion, that doesn't cost anything.

Looks good to me... highly readable... Might want to add a testimonial or two as I can't live without my LightSphere!

i agree with "theg". It looks like a template from template monster. You should hire a design company to take a look at it.
