New Site Feedback

Ok this may be dumb, but most sites have a symbol for their homepage. Right now on TCP it's the little milk looking jug, but that's a part of snackbar games right? So if you were wanting to make this more independent, would it have a new logo?
I mean everything has logos nowadays! ;D

in terms of that what about a Game Cartridge in a blanket for the LOGO........The Cover Project LOL
But on another note since its common place now adays the logo should be a link to the main page

Let me direct you to a old WIP one i made a year ago, It just says 'COVER'
The was going to be a Genesis/ 32X cart, and Project was a case.

I was wondering about the logo too. As much as i like Larry's logo (its really fun) i like the clean look of just the words "The Cover Project"
1. I understand that we want to separate ourselves from the Snackbar Games branding but should our logo somehow pay homage to it? I was thinking of a glass milk bottle instead of a milk carton. Yes it has nothing to do with games but it still separates ourselves from Snackbar while still giving them a gentleman's nod.
2. If we are going to separate ourselves from Snackbar shouldn't we change our colors? Granted i like our colors but its the same as Console Covers (we had the color scheme first though, haha). VGBox art: Red, ConsoleCovers: Orange, CD Covers CC: Orange, CGalaxy: Orange/Yellow. Perhaps we should further distance ourselves from them with blue or something?
3. Can we increase the width between the covers on the new front page? They kind of get jumbled together. I also happened to like the game name next to the cover image. Maybe when you pan across the cover it gets darker or black and has the game title across it?
4. I can do a quick visual mockup of what i was thinking fro the site if you would like. I've thought about it for about 4-5 years now

The new site looks a bit empty to me, I may make a Photshop mock up when I get home. I have a few ideas that may be hard to type.
And one thing with the systems on the side, can they be grouped by manurfacturer?
It annoys me seeing Gamecube and SNES not clumped up with the restm Same with SEGA.
I think a font change and removal of the underlines would look better.
