Header design (we suggest that you do these in fireworks or whatever so that we can do a final signoff and you don’t have to keep re-coding it):
-Make white keyline thinner.
-Dump search box from header (move to top of righthand sidebar) -Write out “CKGSB KNOWLEDGE” and go back to bold version of font. E.g. CKGSB doesn’t only appear in the logo, but instead is written along with KNOWLEDGE to form a more coherent brand identity for the Knowledge product.
-Logo looks blurry, especially Chinese characters. Is it the size or the quality of the file you’re working with? Do you need the source .ai files? Possibly the logo could be enlarged by pushing out the thinner keyline a bit more, or it could be placed somewhere else within the design? It doesn’t necessarily have to appear in the header. We’ll leave it up to your design sensibilities.
-I know this has been discussed before, but we still really feel that simply writing out CKGSB KNOWLEDGE in plain din typeface is really expressing it as a standalone brand. Could you try one more stab at a graphical effect or creative treatment that would make it more logo-like and really express it as its own brand?
