alright, I just designed the best site of my life. I need to know what you guys think of it. It will go into flash, and i am just in the design fase. I also have a question to ask of you, but i'll do that after I show you the first part.

alright, next comes the decision. I need to know if I should put somthing in that top left corner. I have 2 ideas, my logo:

and the other idea is a simple design:

I'm really looking forward to your opinions, they do help.

Lose the .01, .02 thing - it's very old now. The 1st one is best. Brush up on your typography (alignment, tracking, line spacing). Dont use soft bevels on your boxes like that. I would also remove the gradient-shiny 'page breaks'. Once you do that I think you need to inject some more colour or interest... It needs something unique. Dark sites are really nice when done right, but when not carefully thought through they can look really dull.

Expecting replies? People only read posts with several exclamation marks (!!!) in the title when they are in the mood for some comic relief.
