Really nice header over here. I like the slight pattern in the center of the header up at the top and the blue tones work well. The prize winner on this website though is the site navigation, take a look. Looks simple and ordinary at first but if you hover your mouse over the navigation links the box surrounding the wording will glide over to the link you are hovering over, plus it adjusts the width on the fly to accommodate the size of the wording in the link. Very clever.

Navigation Bar
Blocky, boxy navigation buttons on this site look nice and clean, it gives off a professional feel in the combination with the other elements on the web page. Hover over the buttons and they turn blue, a gradient of a darker into lighter blue. A secondaty menu bar under helps get the visitor to where he’s going quickly, cutting a click out of the process.
Logo
Take a look at the logo, a two-tone, if I can call it that. This is an effective way to sepparate the words in a multiple, usually not more than two, word logo where there is no space between the words. You can use a font weight or bold effect on the first word while leaving the other regular. To give a better co?trast or look, add colors into the mix. I try to stay with the website theme color for the main or the word you want to emphasise and the other one can be either a few shades darker or lighter, or sometimes, like in this case, it can be the secondary color from the website theme color pallet.

Here is a Web 2.0 logo I just got done working on. Well I may not be done with it, I never know. Sometimes I just get a feeling and pop into photoshop and change it. So far I am pretty happy with it.

Sweet logo on this one. Two-tone, blue and white on gray background. The icon on the top includes or looks like it has the G for Grupo and M for Media. The two?colors work well together. Also love the blue flames on the sides. This makes for a great header design. Gives me lots of ideas.

This is a nice dark-blue background pattern that would make a lighter shade page stand out. I also adjusted the contrast and brightness on it for the second version you can see bellow.
