I don't know, almost all websites I know that use sans serifs has the
font size that I posted. If I configure my browser to use a smaller
font-size I won't be able to read those sites.

Yeah, well. I think you should rotate the logo and put it there. Like in
the png i sent.

No, I also don't think the colors fit. And that it looks strange with
the dashed line coming out of the icon 1/4 from the top. It just looks
odd. I think that if you have to have icons, they should be next to a
large text heading, or right aligned where they don't have such a strong
visual role.

Oh, and in the latest version I think the borders around the menu are
too strong.

Don't get me wrong, I think you are doing a great job with this. I just
want to reach perfection. ;)
