I don't mean the moons, I talk about them later in my post :) I mean the transparent shimmer, reminds of flying through clouds.

Bastiaan.

Phobos and Deimos to be precise.

That's no moon. That's a space station.

+1

but perhaps blending between logo and menu were good.

And also when Phobos and Deimos receive some grayness than D letter becomes more contrast and recognizability.

Alright, the grey variant with the old logo [1] got merged.

Now, are we satisfied, or should I push further for the logo change?

We all know that Walter is fond of the logo as it is, but I think he didn't comment on this version yet. Andrei said he'd be fine with it [2]. Preemptively obeying Walter's assumed veto may be a mistake.

Personally, I can live with the old logo. I'm also not really satisfied with the partially red version (grey-newlogo) [3], because I can't seem to make a nice transition from the red logo to the grey menu. A simple gradient doesn't cut it for me. The all-red version [4] is out, I think, because it's too distracting.

So, are we done? Or do you want the new logo? In the form of grey-newlogo [3]?

The right-side panel is WAY too prominent. It takes nearly an entire third of the horizontal space, leaving the main content much to squished.

The upper part of the left-side panel has far too much wasted vertical space. The main links don't even start until almost halfway down the first "screen" (ie, before you start scrolling).

Also, the search box suffers from invisible text syndrome. I think you set its background color to white while forgetting to set the foreground text color. CSS and UI designers tend to forget that not everyone uses a "dark-on-light" system color scheme. (for some of us, "dark-on-light" hurts our eyes)

Also, on the mobile version, I would move the "menu" hieroglyph to the right side (and maybe actually *SAY* "menu", but that's a whole other rant). I'd move it partly because mobile usually reserves upper-left corner for "back" buttons, but also because the upper-left corner is by FAR the most difficult-to-reach part of a mobile screen for right-handed people (even with my rather large hands it's still very difficult to reach. Steve Jobs must've been a lefty.)

I'd really like to see that new logo.

What about just dropping the red and using a grey background for the logo too?

Or maybe using a bit of red in the background gradient?
