I don't like the moving, fading, double image text. It loaded and I saw something that disappeared before I realized there was something happening and I thought I missed something. It left me feeling uncertain about the site. Rolling over the panels didn't repeat the effect, so I was even more uncertain.
I do like that there's some visual indicator though to attract people to realizing the panels are navigation. I'd be consistent in the initial load animation event and then the rollover. It's called "affordance" in the UI design lingo. It's what makes someone WANT to click on something and reinforces that desire with an expected feedback to reassure them that they're supposed to click on it.
