I'm a lazy typer and I always click on your bookmark in safari.
Your favicon used to stand out from the "no name blue balls" favicons in the safari bookmarks section, now it's harder to spot it!!

I'm really quite happy that you kept the "cb" logo.
Like the arrow defined by negative space in the FedEx logo, once you "see" the "c" and the "b" in the CreativeBits logo, you can't NOT see the letters.
Oh God, what a morning! Meh, I can now see a 'c' and a 'b' in that tetris thing! Wow, I have to say, that's a really memorable logo Ivan. Very unique indeed.
I can't believe people are prefering the tarmac theme to the concrete!?
In my opinion, if Concrete had a bit more contrast between lettering and background, it would be easier to read.
Since you made it for us 'I like to read dark text on light background' types, part of the criteria for that preference is that the text stand out strongly from its background.
I find Concrete hard to read because it's a darker shade of grey on a lighter shade of grey.
Still like it though!
I welcome rebuttals to these particular two cents. Great site conversion overall!
Thank you everybody for the votes and comments. It's hard to please many different tastes, while keeping the vision of CB in sight, but I'd like to see CB as a democratic community, where you have a say in the future developments and operation of CB, so please do vote and express your opinion in similar polls.
I can see that both the dark and light themes are liked almost equally. They will need some improvement though.
Also, many people didn't like either theme or want to see more to choose from. I have several themes in mind, but as a first step I'm thinking to do a flex layout for both of the existing two themes. Later on I want to do the flamingo (pink) and sky (light blue) themes, which are going to be feminine and clean in contrast with the heavy and masculine existing themes. (If you'd like to work on one of the clean themes in PS let me know. I guess I would need to write a brief for you though.)

Yup, see what you can cook up chef!
Should I start refereing to sky blue as cyan now? Is that the right term/word for it when talking in design terms? ('ey?)
don't learn English from me
not a design term, it's just my wording.
Just making sure.
Ok dude, just making sure. Like they say, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. ;)
