wow nip, that looks really nice. You could use a more professional looking font? But then again, I don't know what the website is for. What is it for?

a design/print company, their original website is one of the worst i have seen: www.signart-service.de
btw, even with that shitty website they actually worked with Coca COla, Mercedes, Volkswagen etc.

Yeah maybe i should think about the font again, i quite like it but on smaller sizes it looks kinda crap, but thanks

font is fine. Only thing I would do is turn down the layer effects on the header, the inner glow/shadow. give it some more pop. everything looks really nice

I would maybe try to smooth the corners of the Ps and Ai Icons. Everything else is pretty smooth but the Icons are salient. They just look a bit out of place.
On the other hand these are the normal Icons awww I dont know

Use more than one font

One for headers and one more for stuff you actually read

its not really obvious that the ART in signart is bold, maybe a slight olor change too

however- you might be overstepping your bounds by redesigning their logo like that

looking sharp, I dig the windows 7 esque vibe it has

good points kg, changed the stuff you actually read to verdana and made the the SIGN even thinner to underline the contrast to the ART

for the logo, this is just a mock-up, but I made a modern iteration of their current logo aswell, no idea how to place it in this design though as it does not use the horizontal place as well as the current one does

Just as a general typography guideline, sans-serif font faces are usually used in headlines or titles, while serif font faces are usually used for body text.

I think in this case it's appropriate to keep it 100% sans.

Serifed font is more appropriate for online use.

Looking good, I like the new signart and the verdana font is one actually supported with browsers so that helps to alleviate making so much of the website from little pictures.

If you really want a nitpick I'd suggest mimicking the faint shadow you see under the cd rom image on the other icons. It's not a drop shadow but it looks pretty subtle and cool and would help if all icons were uniform. Also the radius of the corners in one of the boxes is slightly larger than ALL other corners. Why?
