The logo looks a bit awkward with the dog sticking out of the "o". At the same time, using the head of the dog as the new post icon is a great idea.

For the forum colors, i'd resort more to brown tones as i've yet to see a dog with orange fur. ...unless Paris Hilton is creating a new ridiculous trend.

Thanks for the comment Mike. I hear what your saying but to much brown can be negative and depressing? I want it to be bright and colorful to reflect the fun nature of a dog. On more of a development view i also want it to have a web 2.0 feel.

I like the idea about the brown and tried to incorporate some

Tomi, great designs I can see a lot of potential. I much prefer version 2 over 1 and have a few suggestions for you;

- Space out the actual forums a little, it feels a little cluttered. Could be the bolded descriptions, try un-bolding them and see how it looks.

- The 'Dog' in your slogan (coloured orange) doesn't stand out as it's bright on a bright background, blends in more than the blue.

Brown can look good if you use it right, here's an example; http://thingsthatarebrown.com/

Love the navigation and side bar. Good luck

I like the added black to the layout. I still feel the dog and o should be one color.
