site header | part of layout

That title is supposed to be a spraypainted stencil. I think it would look cool if I got it to look realistic. Maybe I should add some dripping paint - or have just a regular tag graffiti. I had another idea for the title, though, so don't pay attention to that. What do you think of the header? Might need to be brighter. This gradient stuff is new to me, so ... let me have it and I'll improve.

REVISION : http://trhaynes.commscentral.net:8000/img/metallayout2.jpg (see my second post)

I think its too grey IMO

Looks cool.

Needs more color and try reducing the opacity on the title.

Its a very good shape, except that it doesn't look too mcuh like metal yet.

Yes, it needs to be brighter and the shadow off the bigger object less... that'd make them more metallic...

I would see the "gendes" thing inside a rounded corners outline - like a stamp - it's a nice shape

OK - here's a revision. Not really metal anymore - just slick and 3D? Used drop shadow and inner shadow for the title text. I added extra space on the right because I'm going to have to do something there ... and I dont know what.

ummm,... yuck!

it looks just ok untill u get to the links in the box in the top right. what's up with that? and how does it fit with the rest of the design?

I like the second one, but maybe make "gendes" one color, and then "ign" another?

I dunno, it's up to you - is the company's name Gen or Gendes?

Nos.
