Hi All,
Thanks for your thoughts on my logo evolution. I have now decided to undertake the small yet psychologically daunting task (for me) of revamping my inadequate website presence. Please give me your thoughts and votes on my ideas. I am currently favoring #1 and #5.
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Option 4
Option 5
Intrepid Guppy - new site feel (opinions please)

I like the idea very much. If I was to continue your concept I would go for #1 as a starting page and #3 as internal.
Looking forward to see where the idea takes you.
(q: in what language do you intend to code the site? It would be kinda cool with a flash start page with "real" bubbles and then strict xhtml/css internal pages.)

I like #4...
very deep sea feeling. lacking in underwater reflection though.
but make the buttons in bubbles like what you did n #1.

i like number 1 and 5 best. Dont forget in a menu like that you always have to plan when a page opens, you will have to move the buttons somewhere else... If you dont plan to do that I would go for option 4, it is also a very nice and neat design

I like number 1.
The menu items arranged in circle lead to the logo, as in a spiral, and also complement the main directional line of it. Would be nice to see the design in Flash, with the bubbles going upwards, and the logo floating just a bit, almost imperceptible, up and down.
Nice one !

@Guppy, I like the solid color logo in #5, but do not care for most of the web layouts. it's mainly the buttons that are killing me. they look like those same kind you can drag and drop in macromedia fireworks or something.
but if i have to pick one, i'd go with #5, though i suggest going with a nice font that compliments the design and logo, but don't use the button enclosures. i'd also maybe change the bubbles some, maybe look more at photo realistic shots of similar "oceanic depth" shots with the air bubbles floating to the surface.

Thanks for your comments all....I appreciate them greatly. I have now shifted my feelings toward a more graphic, mostly solid color approach. I still value any feedback you might have.

Hey what about, using each option background's for each section, i think all look different but corporately united, so you have both graphic variety and unity.

Sorry forgot to say, im agree with leaving the center menu as a home page and the top menu distribution as a content!

I like #1 the best. Only crit would be, the bubbles/links look a bit strange. The grey border throws it off.

I am torn between 1 and 5.
I am also thinking that number 4 looks like it would make a good home page....could you use two of your designs.
1 or 5 would be the first page (like a title/ navigator page) the user would be directed to and then page 4 would become the home page. It would be easy to navigate; the page information and the tool bar would be accessible on the same page.
I hope you understand what i'm trying to explain!
You designs are just awesome though....i love the bubble patterns, the colour, the logo, the way the light gradiants circle like the sun through the ocean. Very very cool!

No question about it, #5 is the only way you should go. The reason I'm saying this is because it's the only one that seems to have a logical navigation interface. All your work is within the portfolio link instead of separating print, logos and packaging (which make up the portfolio, I hope). Is this site animated (flash)?
