I like it! It looks like a chalkboard type writing. Remember how teachers use to underline everything on the board that they wanted you to remember? lol

That's funny. I still do that myself when I'm writing on a white board. I totally over use underlines and circles to emphasize points!

Wow, looks great! I love the ticker symbol idea. Very cool.

I just rebranded my site since more people were connecting with the Financial Excellence brand than with my company name. So we changed the logo and the look of the site, and we'll actually be changing the name of the company to tie it all together. Of course, I wasn't cool enough to come up with a good idea like a ticker symbol!

I like the banner overall. The only thing that I noticed is that the FSYA on the right side looks more like a collection of dots (rather than your name), while the left one looks very clear.

Thanks! I tried to make it look like it was scrolling across but still keep the readability.

Ok, I like that idea. I guess you can tell that I have zero creativity!

What a cool idea!  Nice way to fix something you weren't happy about!!!  Now only if I hadn't picked a name that was so dang long, lol...

Tell me about it!  I go crazy when I have to type my email address.  Perhaps I should see if spf@gmail.com is taken.

FSYA, I like it!  You are very creative.  How is the new job going?

I like it! Looks good, and is innovative.

 

I've been thinking about retooling my site a bit, and the thought of working on a revised logo has come to mind. Not sure I should change it, as that squirrel is probably associated with my blog's "brand" by now :)

Squirreler, definitely keep the squirrel in some aspect.  That is part of your brand... and it always makes me smile!

It could be thinner.  As it is now it takes up a fair bit of real estate above the fold.

The vanishing points of the top part of the logo and the bottom part are not the same.  If you keep that look, I'd make it flat unless you can get the perspective consistent across the logo.  Even if you do get it right, it's of questionable value because you'll be left with dead space on the converging side.

I almost missed your subtitle: "Learn to save, invest and build wealth."  I'd make the contrast higher since it's the most specific part of what your site is about.  (The white banner to the right darkens it further.)

Thanks for the feedback! The theme settings don't allow for a thinner banner so I'm just working with it right now.

I will fix the subtitle. It does get lost a little.

@Buck Thanks! Yeah, the look of a ticker board is similar to a basketball game score board lol. Hopefully I can build the brand around the ticker enough so that there won't be a doubt what it is. :) I will prob streamline the navigation bar to match.
