It shows that T.M. has a sensibility regarding to the www's "social part*". Please allow me to make some observations regarding to opensource.org's redesign and rebranding: 1. The green[header]-dark orange[header/footer] association is not the most successful one. The dark orange attracts the eye but nothing more. It would have a partially justified role if above it there would be links, the links of the main navigation menu. According to the current site's structure I would obtain for a different secondary color, instead of dark orange. 2. The logo has some problems: a. a conceptual problem The logo has a 1 pixel outer line. Is this a good graphic solution? No. Why? Because if you would resize the logo's vector source file - to make it smaller or bigger - the outer line wouldn't change its size: it would remain 1 pixel. This means that in case of a dramatic resize [to smaller or bigger] the logo would loose its current graphic construction and concept. b. design problems I. poor quality - because of the use of a png file, the logo's main color is undefinable and it contains two main and some additional internal colors. The two main internal colors are: #4CB461 and #4EBD62 II. the curve from under the logo should be smooth but, unfortunately, is not. Please see my illustration: http://www.psdlayout.com/curve.jpg I would like to help you fixing these problems. If your open to reevaluate the logo, please let me know and I'll come up with some suggestions.

Seeing that you support OpenSource.org and AnyBrowser.org is great. It shows that T.M. has a sensibility regarding to the www’s “social part*”.

Please allow me to make some observations regarding to opensource.org’s redesign and rebranding:

1. The green[header]-dark orange[header/footer] association is not the most successful one. The dark orange attracts the eye but nothing more. It would have a partially justified role if above it there would be links, the links of the main navigation menu. According to the current site’s structure I would obtain for a different secondary color, instead of dark orange.

2. The logo has some problems:

a. a conceptual problem

The logo has a 1 pixel outer line. Is this a good graphic solution? No. Why? Because if you would resize the logo’s vector source file - to make it smaller or bigger - the outer line wouldn’t change its size: it would remain 1 pixel. This means that in case of a dramatic resize [to smaller or bigger] the logo would loose its current graphic construction and concept.

b. design problems

I. poor quality - because of the use of a png file, the logo’s main color is undefinable and it contains two main and some additional internal colors. The two main internal colors are:

#4CB461 and #4EBD62

II. the curve from under the logo should be smooth but, unfortunately, is not.
Please see my illustration: http://www.psdlayout.com/curve.jpg

I would like to help you fixing these problems.
If your open to reevaluate the logo, please let me know and I’ll come up with some suggestions.
