I'm out of town this weekend, but I'm hoping to get one or two designs (likely just screenshots) attached to the JIRA so people can give me some feedback. I'll make it quick turn around and won't leave it open for feedback long though. If anyone has ideas / thoughts, samples they like, comment on the JIRA for the website stuff. I spoke with Troy this evening and it's likely after we get the logo contest completed we'd redesign to fit the logo better - so I'm not too worried about what this first iteration looks like. Also, I am not a designer ;) ~P
