heh, thanks.. > The brown one looks especially > professional: clean, 3-D, and the triangle seems to glow. I think the brown one *popping* more than the others has to do with how they eye interprets the [combinations|contrast|shades] of the colors. A design professional, I am sure, could give an elaborate explanation; and probably better color combos. Then again, it may just be me applying the changes to each one a little differently each time. heh. > And the changeable color theme would be useful, perhaps a different color on > each section of the website. yikes.

(and yes, scales up this close could be from a croc or even a dragon [grin]. But these are supposed to be snake). I added an element (see UPDATE on the link, if you care to) that should help. But... if this concept needs *any* explanation at all.. then it may not be the right approach. One thing I would find uncomfortable is people squinting at it saying, "what the heck is that?". I actually worked up a more complicated header image that bolsters the concept. But it doesn't mirror the current site style or illustrate the spirit of this exercise. The variety of colors is just to show that color does not matter too- too much. I have no idea if anybody would even like the idea, much less what color scheme they would be applied to. Anyway, these are just some ideas that I had some fun playing with. If there is interest, I would be happy to take suggestions. If not, I can just drop it. > -- > Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hey, thank you for the feedback, Mr. Orr. -- Michael Welsh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
