Well, I promised an update on [Churchill.com](http://Churchill.com)’s redesign, so here it is. It’s not my greatest work, but as is the case with most of these things, it’s what Management want… :sure: 😛 ---

“ooooooooooooooooooooooh yes!” :thumb: [size=1]the churchill logo and text on the left looks somewhat truncated… did you cut anything off the bottom? And the navbar at top right… there’s something about the shading (or lack of?) at the bottom which makes it look kinda strange.[/size] I really like it. I’m also appreciating the lack of gradients fills and drop shadows etc 😉 it’s considerably better than the nonsense Marketing had mocked-up ---

Haven’t done anything to either the logo or the strapline, that’s the ‘corporate look’ and I’m not allowed to change them. :sure: I could probably get away with sticking a tiny drop shadow on the dog, just to separate him from that orange bar a little. 🙂 And I’ve no idea what I did to that nav bar either. It was meant ot have just a bit of a bevel on it so it wasn’t looking completely flat… 🙂 Pffft, Management will never notice, if they go for this then I’ll re-do it all properly. 😛 Yes, I carefully avoided the use of gradient fills etc after the last debacle. 😛 ---

You’re not British, are you? 🙂 The dog is the Churchill Insurance company’s mascot / logo. He has to be there in some way, unfortunately. 🙂 ---

British Bulldog = Winston Churchill (both defenders of the British Empire), Winston Churchill = Churchill 🙂 Strikingly similar in looks too! 🙂 🙂 ---

Hehe, yeah there is that. 😛 (Nice one Cello 🙂 ) The orange, purple etc - those are not my choice. Those are the company colours, and I have to use them. No arguments. I tried to get them to be more flaxible, but they won’t budge. ---
