Hey guys, thanks for all of your help in the past critiquing my layout and logo designs. I'm just about at the point where I will be finalizing the design so if you see any tweaks to the design that you think would look good or any comments in general please let me hear them :)

Thanks again for all your help- the designs wouldn't be as good as they are now without it!

P.S. The menu/nav bar links are not finalized obviously
 


Looks very good. A few things on the logo...There are two many blue spots on the "high" in the logo. Tone that down a bit. Also, on the little thing at the top of the logo, show a little more white on the right (just shorten up the blue spot). I don't know...I don't like the color of the kid's skin. It looks too flat - just play around with it a bit. Then remove some (maybe like 3) of the spots on the left so it doesn't shoot out too much. Also, see if you can take the spots off of "headquarters" (the e, a, d, and q). I don't like those. Making the bottom clear would add a sort of finality.

The layout is really good. Not a lot to critique there. Move the breadcrumb up a tiny bit, just as far from the nav as the boxes on the homepage...the top right ad in the content section (the square one) is low too, it should be even with the top of the header text. While I'm at it, you've got too much space in between blog posts on the homepage.

Those are some really nitpicky suggestions, but it's the little things that count. ;) Very nice man.

Awesome- thanks for the comments. Like you said, its the little things that make a huge difference in the end. I'll most likely be implementing a few of the changes you suggested.
 
Looks great... Apart from all that HighSchoolHQ.com malarky - it ruins your template, get rid of it. :D
 
Just take a look at how it would look if you dropped the top gradient down a little so it was somewhat straight across or just a little bit lower.

The sharp curve of the gradient is kind of distracting. Seems misaligned almost.

But looks fucking awesome! Get that shit up and make some money! (dont forget to start planning for College Headquarters where you can actually put booze in the logo :D )

I've already got ProfessorHQ.com, and I'm keeping a close eye on CollegeHQ, UniversityHQ.com, TeacherHQ.com, EducationHQ.com, TeenHQ.com and HSHQ.com :)
