A few key notes: I am not finished with designing the asset for the logo or the guild mascot. Ideas with logo/mascot - We are planning on having him smashing through the top left of the header and 10-20 pixels above that. The guild logo will be present on either his forehead or some kind of accessory (sword, gun, etc.) This will be fully integrated with a customized SMF forum. The first iteration of the forum will also have a Starcraft theme to it. As the clan continues to venture into knew games we will be adding the ability to change the entire theme of the website (i.e. Diablo III or Warcaft style) depending on the demand of the community. Site has been optimized for 1280x1024 to meet demographic needs.
I cannot wait for StarCraft 2 to come out, it's going to be a blast. With that said, I think you did a really good job with the site design. The octagonal green background is a bit odd, it works, though could be changed. Perhaps you should play with other types of backgrounds? Everything looks pretty neat. I look forward to the logo design. Good job. ~Achi
Thanks for the reply. To give you a response on the background of the site. I wanted to do something that related to some of the newer Starcaft units. Many zerg units now have a green glow in certain spots of their model such as the overlord, baneling, and more. I really wanted to have more an alien feel to the background the green seemed to fit just right for what we were trying to accomplish.
