Looks nice. I hope it's not locked to 800x600, for those of who run at a modern screen resolution! Tell us when you launch it .

Hey... I know I know that font, I think I have it on my computer right now too... *looks for it*

Edit-- No, I can't find it. It's driving me nuts though. I've seen that font on a couple other websites and I think a game or two... if only I could locate it...

Well I DIDN'T have that font! But you know what was driving me crazy? Their incredible similarity to Daedric Runes. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what inspired the font (Daedric runes have been around since '97 so I doubt it's vice versa).

If you want to see what I mean, go here:

http://www.freewebs.com/tamrielresources/daedric.jpg

(Oops! I used 'runes' in that image but technicly, they're not runes... sorry.)

Good to see that you're updating the site.

-Might I suggust changing the font of the words in the boxes,links,etc. Something more "wavy", rather than just plain letters.

Looks nice overall, hope we'll get to see a good chunk of it over this weekend.

Not bad at all. What's the host?

Might wanna make sure you have this --->Secure Socket Layer<---
Especially if you plan on selling anything.

[edit] Figured out the host a minute after posting.

But you have to pay 14.95 for a domain, so a total of 20 bucks for a great hosting package

Well now Im working on the Epsilon Studios site, as thats our team name. I really need to know what I should do to this banner....it just looks so horrible!



What should I do for a clean, professional looking header (I want white/light grey to be the color scheme)

Don't make anything in the background of your logo. For many reasons, among them logo cinematics which you might make in the future if you're successful, and the fact that it makes fan sites/web design etc a lot easier. The blurring dosen't really add anything either... I'd just get a unique font for it, come up with a good color scheme, and make it simple but unique.

Well, while we're throwing out hosts, I suppose I might show off this one again.http://www.herculeshosting.com/

You be the judge. The only thing is, they're a new company and may not be stable.

Personally, I don't like the [href]www.icdsoft.com[/href], and you're probebly better off with your other host. Your other host has been around for a long time, has a lot of options, and not a bad price.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the logo, I'd take mouse's advice. You wanna go for something clean and simple, and if you want, maybe put some kinda light or sun flare in the corner.

Keep the double lines you have on the logo, get rid of the blur, have a clean white'ish grey backround, and keep "Without Limits" on. Personally, I do like the white/grey look because it's clean and professional.
