OK. The first thing I would start with is some text. There's a great little utility device available for like $20 at most computer stores called a keyboard. There's a button on them for each letter and number, and when you push the buttons words appear in the design. :p

OK, lose that BG...

Make it lighter...

Go easy on bevel and emboss...

Thin the container border...

Make it sit center screen...

Easy with the lighting effects....


That's all I can think of right now. :)

I agree, lose the background. Go with a solid color.

If you go with a lighter background you could have raised areas shadow onto the lighter background.
