The 'What do you think of my website' thread

Please criticise the logo/banner of this website as much as possible. Imagine this is a very professional high-end company and you saw this website.
Be strict. Although, if it's actually good, please say so. This banner/logo will need to be flawless. The website is obviously not finished.

As you asked... I'm no designer, but it looks both old-fashioned and amateurish. Glossy, rendered, aliased text is about 25 years out of date. If you want "professional" these days, you need flat, bold and clean. Compare it to IGN's new logo. They've stripped all gradients and gloss and flattened it to two colours; red and white: http://uk.ign.com/

Beyond the logo, what's with the birds flapping around all over the place? That just adds unnecessary noise and, again, looks like an early 90s gimmick. Absolutely no reason for that to be there.

I'm half in agreement with Planto's feedback - the birds are unnecessary and the aliased text is proving tiresome...

In my own opinion:
- I don't like the way 'A R T S' is spread out below 'Epic Game', it looks weak could be easily missed as 'Epic Game' dominates it totally.
- The slogan sounds poor to me. 'It's not just a game. It's art. It's a way of life' - this could be shortened down! 'It's not just a game, it's art.'/'It's not just a game, it's a way of life.' - who knows, it's your website, but for me it doesn't sound 'catchy' at all. It doesn't grab my attention. I do like the sentiment behind the message though.

However, I don't think it's a bad effort. The font is what let's the logo down for me. Along with the birds. I don't think the ING logo is what you should be aiming for as I feel the two organizations are headed down different paths here...

Thanks, I really appreciate your honesty and detailed criticism. It has helped me a lot. I will remove the slogan or shorten it.

How is this? I have an inverted colour version of this, or should the image just compromise of the "king" chess piece?

Access has been blocked as the threat Mal/HTMLGen-A has been found on this website.

First constructive criticism: remove the malware.

What anti-virus have you got? What part of it does it think is malware so I can fix it? I can assure you that this is a mistake with the anti-virus. That might be why I have obtained less visitors than usual on the website. Damn! (PM me if you do not want it to be public). It is a false positive.

Sophos AV. You're probably doing some funky script injection or something.

Edit: Actually, from a similar issue posted on the Sophos forum:

The site is hosted on a nameserver which has been seen hosting malware.

I would contact Sophos support and/or your hosting provider.

I'm hiding my server's IP behind Cloudflare, which is quite reputable. Must be some code, I'll have to contact Sophos I guess. Thanks for your help!

Isn't the ".xxx" gTDL exclusively for 'adult' material?

First post on this site, my site is Jaywebdesign.co.uk - what do you guys think?

First time using fullpage and I haven't a clue how javascript works so it was a bit of guesswork!

Any input would be useful. I'm particularly concerned as the phone/tablet control is a bit weird. The bottom slide seems to not want to move up again and on some it doesn't seem to fit on the page.
