Thanks for clarifying, I was gonna bark at the colors.

Basically, the guy who said Black on White looks good should be neutered.

In fact, I very very rarely use black at all. That's not only for my 
online material, but for my offline things as well. The problem is, you 
can't go darker than black, so everything is just up there, screaming 
it's lungs out.

In other words, shade of grey!

Oh, and nudge the logo slightly left. Right now it's placed so that the 
symbol is not quite right aligning with the sidebar, and the logotype is 
not quite left aligning with the main contents. My co-worker would'a 
pointed and screamed TANGENT! That means the dynamic is dead. Either the 
logo should be nudged 5px to the right, or like 100px to the left to 
break the tangent and create the dynamic.

That said, I really really like what he's done with the logo. Slap on 
some nice colors, and it'll look really nice! (Oh, and a shade of grey 
or some color instead of the white background might also do wonders).
