So get your comments in on that before we finalize it.

I haven't decided if the main site's content boxes will be brushed metal like the forum or white or what yet though, so let's bounce ideas.
I say lose the "moving" effet in the logo, it's really ugly, and 2ndly, I prefer the Ferrari-like one, it's more car enthusiat-related.

THe carbon fiber is too big, scaling it down would make it look better, the orange text has to become red, other than that it's perfect, I do like the "forum" under the logo, community could be removed though.
I dig the "shifting action" of the logo, but whatever you guys want.

The carbon fiber banner, it's just a mock-up and of course going to be scaled down on regular monitor viewing. Just enlarged to show texture.

I have my brightness down as I have a Ultrabrite button that I can use to turn it up when I need to for games.

Much easier on the eyes for reading text if you run 1/2 power or so brightness.

good idea but stupid at the same time since a F and a G don't look like a gearshift pattern.

I don't change my view, the Ferrari-ish is the way to go 8)

So what, it's not like people are going to get confused or anything, they'll get the idea.
If not we'll know what kind of person we're dealing with, and then we'll just have to use this -> images/smilies/stupid.gif .
