what do you hate abotu the logo? im not too great with logos.

Take a Mal sanctioned 1 hour break with the headphones, close your eyes and see what comes to mind.
Otherwise it looks pretty good to me but yes, the logo needs a little something.

love the distressed look... how'd you do that? not sure about the ribbon think in the bottom corner, unless it's something really special i might think of getting rid of it, the colors are still a bit hot overall, not sure how that looks yet with the girls skin color... nice start

I like the overall logo shape from a distance..with the crest things (what are they called?) and all...
but up close... the 'dc' is sort of 70's (which may be OK), but the 'DESIGNCOLA' doesnt seem to have enough personality?, or clashes with the 'dc'....

Agree about the logo. Make at least about 10 different thumbnails for it. It doesn't seem like you've given that part much thought (yet). If you don't like doing logos, this is your chance to get well acquainted with them. But have fun with it.... that is key.

nice ribit, thanks!
robotron3k, I'm actually gunna do something with the ribbon.. its not done yet.
i might change the color scheme from section to section.. I'm not sure yet. but the colors are really bright and annoying.. just like me :).
i just hope i chose a color combo that doesn't burn your corneas.

love the colour scheme, why is the girl there?
perhaps you could play around with the 'ribbon' element + the nav? :)
- shellie0
the girl is there as a place holder. im doing a photoshoot soon (hopefully)with a girl who looks similar and i wanted to see what it would look like with a body there.

i can see what ribit is saying about the logo, although i kinda like it, with the spades, i think that's what they are called on the sides, the dc is fine, but the word mark on the underneath blends in because it too is sans serif, i might think of changing that to a serif font that way the dc would pop off the screen, just a thought... or maybe mix in some more of that distress look into the word mark itself just to differ more...

grungy borders = good.

ah ok, i was wondering what the mysterious pixel effect was all about. :)
- lifeinsodium0
i meant to say that i like the design and would love to see what you do with it. so, to sum it all up:
grungy borders = good.

fleur de lis. they're called fleur de lis. the cresty looking things.
- reluct0
Very nice :) I think it's an improvement to what you have. The ribbon is a bit to similar to the cuban council right now so I would get rid of it or change the colors or something :)
- ribit0
so do I say I like the fleur de lis'es?
or fleurs de lise?
