The logo looks so out of place now, I'm not a fan of this look TBH.

Could we not make use of CSS layers, or is that rubbish looking for people with smaller resolutions?

It is quite nice though, just needs some more colour!

I hope the plan is to have alternating mock logos of real brands. It would be a nice quirky addition to the site, adding a little pace and intrigue. If it's just Morrison's I think I will kill myself!

It is a nice idea, but you have to admit, reading things is much harder with the notebook background. There simply isn't enough contrast between text, tables and background.

I must say if we personalise our font and colour. We can graffiti the notepad like this. More font choices required though..

I say call Lee Seaman. I have a red phone with a direct line to him. He won't deny this.
