Rival Modified Import Cars

Import Rival Online Carshow for Imports (http://www.importrival.com)

Well it's time again to give ImportRival.com another face lift.

In the beginning, I started out with light colors. After several visitors suggested a black background, I complied. I used light gray for the articles to make it easier to read.

*However, I would like to find a happy medium with shades that will compliment the pics, but that also provides a comfortable read. What color combos should I look into???

*I'll probably make the fonts smaller.

*I will try to use a 3 column layout on all pages to give it more balance and continuity.

*I'll also make the logo sharper. What do you think of the logo size?

*I will improve the hierarchial structure/navigation in order to put more emphasized on the most important things.

*I will perhaps try to let long articles span multiple pages.

*Should I remove the amazon banners on the bottom of some pages? (click a car or an article) I will incorporate the poll and the ad at the very bottom of the home page more effectively.

Any constructive criticism would be very much appreciated. :o

Thanks for the feedback. :) What specifically is weird about the logo? Do you mean the design of the logo? When you say you like the idea, do you mean the logo or the site?

i meant I like the idea of the site... its seems to be a car rating system, kinda of like "hot or not" with cars.

I do not particullarly like the logo's design... It is too amorphus. Anyway I do I like the site as a whole.

Thank you for commenting on the logo. I wondered if it was too amorphous when I designed it. It is definitely not in it's final phase. ;)

Does anyone else agree with thepoorman and I about the logo?

[ozgression]

Yes, I dont like it at all. :) Doesn't seem to suit a car site.

I'm thinking perhaps something more masculine and aggressive. Do you agree?

I'ld say, Go masculine and aggressive with dark colors (most drive at night) and give it a sense of speed, like a italic logo with a speed blur behind it. Take a look at some of the colors and designs that appear on your cars, that might give you an idea to go on.

Yes, that sounds more like it.
