Really like the overall layout

i would consider changing the background from white to a more contrasting colour to bring out the main content.

Also the W3C XHTML validation logo in the footer is a bit old hat, either create your own more 'up to date' looking logo or get rid

I really like the layout and the icons along the top of the page and the use of colour throughout. However, i agree with the point made above that the background colour should be changed.

It's very nice. If I was you I would try and make the logo stand out a bit more.

Kinda feeding off what everyone else is saying. I think a colored background would make the content pop out even more. It doesn't have to be black or anything just something that will make the center stand out.

Also the logo banner and navigation, I think would be nicer If they were more contrasting to the page. Perhaps button color changes on rollover. The color of the logo banner just something that makes the logo stand out more. Right now it seems a little washed out.

Forget the colored bg...it's crisp, it's bright, it incorporates glass effects & neons well...it's up to trend IMHO. I like. The main logo is a bit overdone with the shine effect, but the colors are right on. Lighten that effect (which will in turn darken the logo a bit), and you will have a great site which matches your icon work in style & feel very well.
I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

I really like how it looks, I have no problem whatsoever with the white background. Personally I always try to go for white backgrounds because it looks professional.

The only thing that remotely bothers are the yellow blue and red sphere icons in the left bar, maybe they should be aligned a little to the right.
