          Hi everybody, it’s great to be a part of this talented community of artists. I thought that since this is a design site why not ask members to participate in helping to design the site. I hope that I am not stepping over my bounds by suggesting this. I thought one simple thing for example would be a Jamuse logo design contest where as maybe the site could have multiple Jamuse logos rotated on a monthly or yearly basis or something to that effect. We have a lot of experienced creative talent here & since we are all sharing the site, why not contribute to designing it as well. I know for example that Renderosity.com invites its members to help with the aesthetics of their site & it gets a fresh face overhaul every so now and often to keep things fresh.
            One suggestion that I have is to maybe use a smaller logo on this website to look more professional & to use fonts that are a little darker & easier to read. I thought the logo might look good in Monochromatic or Analogous color scheme & maybe add some tastefully done custom graphic buttons, instead of just using plain text to choose a sub-menu option. Another possibility would be if you would allow the designers & artists to be able to upload their own custom background for their portfolio, pending administrative approval first of course. Oh and maybe adding some hyperlinks in the forums, so that when you click on that persons name it will take you to there profile. Well that's all I have for now hope that helps. Overall I love the security settings, very progressive & smart. I lot of other sites do not have this feature, you'll get many more willing to join in the near future I'm sure.

Hey Dennis, no offense, but I think the idea of changing up logos flies in the face of any kind of branding efforts that might be going on. I think multiple logos or ever-changing logos, no matter how infrequent, can be confusing to clients/users/customers.

I do think the hyperlinks from avatars in forums is a great idea and it has been brought up in other posts, so maybe that's something that is in the works. I know I would also find it useful and beneficial -- already I have been interested in some posters' work but have to leave the forum to go hunt them up.
