    site’s working now. RJ is going to get some content in the forums so we can see what they look like. He’ll also take a look at why I can’t navigate the menu on the iphone.

    As for the logo, I think it looks very professional, but perhaps a little too “strict” professional with the gray. Reminds me of a Gotham City vibe. that’s why I prefer the ones on the right with the yellow. Ties in to “black and gold” a little more too.

    This might be nit-picky, but I’m thinking, as a branding matter, we don’t want “SCLUG” we want the left to be a stacked “Steel City”, even if it’s smaller text – just to make sure people know who we are. I’m alright with LUG being there, but I’d be fine with it spelled out too. I’m definitely excited at the thought of brickbuilding our logo for displays! Could even go in multiple scales!

    Good point on the bridges!!! Maybe we could drop one or two of the less recognizable buildings a fit a bridge on there somehow. Along the lines of not liking the cold gray, if we colored the buildings to their real colors (highmark=tan, USX=brown, etc) and maybe that will help soften the impression.

    The only other thing that bugs me is there is more spacing to the left of “SC” than there is at the end of “LUG”. 😉
