    Still takes up way too much space for my taste. Frankly, I wish it weren't there at all. I think a logo is a good thing, but this gets in the way.

    Okay, I played around a little and realized my issue is that the logo scales with everything else. If I zoom in to make small text easier to read or to see detail in a photograph, that's when the logo becomes obtrusive.

    All in all, I think it's looking great! Especially for one evening of "playing around" with a concept. Do you guys like the logo in general? I really like the way it came out! That is what the tee shirts and sweatshirts will look like once we get them into print......

    I like the saw and the way you handled the FHC lettering. I'd probably choose another font for the rest of the text -- something with a vintage feel to match the antique saw.

    Can you send me screenshots so I can see the problem? I have the logo roughly the same size of the xenforo logo that was there and it looks great on all the devices I've been able to see it on.

    It's a small laptop screen, so it's necessary to zoom in quite a bit to make text and images decent-sized.

    Just throwing stuff out there , sides look kinda bare.
    Maybe put up 2 more logos , 3 equally spaced or maybe circles on left n right with FHC in them , or something else IDK
    If you have time some where down the road .
    Or none of the above :)

    Doesn't look too bad to me, Jon, but I think I can help you out anyway. I will create a variation of the main theme without the logo. It will be called Slim. Give me about 4 mins.

    Hard part about that is keeping it looking right on all the devices.

    I think you could just use part of the logo, cropped to fit the shape of the space...

    I also wonder whether you couldn't use something like this as a background behind the other text at the top of the page, instead of stacking a header on top.

    OK Jon, check out the slim theme and see if that matches better for you.

    It looks good but it does seem kind of small just sitting up there in the middle all by its lonesome.

    I added a new dark thread called Black Cherry, if anyone plans to read this site in the middle of the night with a spouse beside them in bed-- this theme may come in handy.
