Gang:
It's been a real long time since I've posted in the digital art forum. Not exactly my strong suit. However, I often come here to check out everyone's work, and I'm always so amazed by your talent.
Anyways, you'll notice my new sig is a banner for my website which is under construction. My sig is a shrunken version of the header for my website. Just wondering if y'all have any suggestions for improving the overall look/effect. Do y'all like it? Is it fugly?
Thanks in advance for the critique!

Hmmmm, it's pretty basic, but it works for me. Although I do think it would look nice with a border, red or maybe black, and the text "If we build it, they will come!" would stand out better if it were filled in, white.

I like it, but you should fill in the "If we build it, they will come." Yes, its simple, but it does the main thing a logo is supposed to do: catches my eye. Its the first thing I looked at before even reading your post. Big text, good color combination, and a clear message. So, even though its simple, I give it an A+! :)

thanks all...that's a good idea about filling in "if we build it..."

everyone says it's fairly basic...I know this is a loaded question of sorts...but what might I introduce that could/would make it less blah...

I thought about adding an image...I looked at a lot of stock images trying to find one that would give off high-tech web vibe...but still be friendly to the client that is less web savvy...any suggestions
