    Looks okay to me, it's just that i think it'll look better if you could change the posts icon to the pic relevant to the forum.

    For example you may want to change the default pic with Xbox logo for that forum etc.

    Yeah I would be careful about copyright issues. You don't want anybody coming after you or anything like that.

    maybe there is but i think if you are promoting it , those company's won't care much. Ah! i don't think they would sue you when you are just making them more popular.

    I will put their logo there. If they don't like it, most likely they'll emailed you and asked you to get rid of it before suing..just imagine how many hundred of thousands of webmasters they have to sue for using their logos? It just does not make sense.

    p/s i am very careful & respect copyright laws - but most of the time it involves articles, music. ringtones etc...not just 1 or 2 logos that promote the games/co.

    I love the header. Try to incorporate more of those colors throughout the rest of the forum (it goes from interesting colors to blends of gray, etc.)... You may want to do a limited-width (instead of the entire screen width), and then put some interesting graphics, etc. on the sides. Besides that, it looks great - good luck with it!

    Looks good. Only the top/right links lack a bit of contrast and are hard to spot.
