    Thank you all for your extraordinary effort in this difficult project.

    The one thing I have learned here is that mixing the cyclical indicators with the trade name detracts from the trade name.

    So I would like to proceed with the webpage design using either the original logo, a derivative without the cyclical indicators, or use the logo used here.

    I saw that you don`t like how the cyclical indicators look on the site, but I did it and I want to post it:

    Thank you, Cosmin! Of these 2 I like the bottom one. But the feeling I get is that the cyclical indicators make the brand less elegant, more mechanical.

    I am thinking the marbled effect of the original logo was good, and the chisel was good, and it probably won't look good with cyclical indicators.

    I am not a designer, so I can't say that with certainty, but that is my feeling. I really want to see the logo on the new web page. :)

    Good color integration, xTreme! Footer should not be dark. We try to avoid black on our sites. I'll post more feedback later. :)

    xTreme, I would like to the see this image in the blank area up top. And simplify Solutions, About, Blog and Contact links. And I have to say this: Those five colors do not look like a perfect match to our original five colors. And get rid of the black in the footer. And add the bg outside of the boxed content. (See bg here and here - widen browser until it shows as boxed.)

    From the top:

    Remove the both iterations of Solutions, About, Blog and Contact and replace them with text links like you see here.

    Remove the cyclical indicators.

    Remove the search icon and field and replace it with a tiny icon same as you see on the current page.

    The color bars in the header are too much.

    I like the color bars in the footer.

    The color bars in the center of the page are off-putting because there are 3 columns and 5 bars. 1 bar per column would look nice.

    I would like to see how it looks boxed with the background currently in use here.

    One more (somewhat important) thing:

    I'm not in love with the marbled background in the header. Probably should just use a different solid bg image there. Get inspiration here. Especially see the bottom one for the "feel" I want.

    Hi Trasher

    Thank you for your diligent effort. There is a lot of good in the design. I like the top navigation and the cleanness of the design. Very crisp!

    A couple questions arise. What would it look like if the background (outside the boxed area) was the background seen here?

    Also, I don't want to deviate from our 5 brand colors, as seen here. I want all 5 colors used, and just those to be prominent.

    I would like 5 sections in the footer, each with its own color bar above, like you did the 4 sections, but with our colors.

    Overall, very good design.
