The Esato logo doesn't look good

Having tested both themes on the t68i I thought I would post a few comments on what I thought.

The Official Esato theme:

I liked the main screen because of its simplicity, yet the logo was somewhat faint, perhaps this is by intention, but I thought it might benefit from being a touch bolder.
The menu isn't all that exciting, a white background with grey writing, it works well because it is simple and to the point.
When one actually selects an option and goes into a menu there is a very nice combination of white and grey. The title of the menu is dark grey\black on a white background, whilst the options are dark grey\black on a light grey background, although this might sound somewhat drab, I found it to be quite professional looking; again I was impressed by the simplicity of the design.

That Day theme:

The main screen looks very nice when using this screen; the limited colours of the t68i handle the theme rather well, in my opinion. The colours don't really match the metallic blue of my t68i, they would probably go better with a gold coloured t68, but to be honest that doesn't matter, the theme is fun looking and it looks nice, plain and simple.
The menu screen is also a dashed smart, although I thought that the writing at the top of the screen could be made to stand out more from the background.
The menus themselves are rather nice too, although the background and text colours are quite similar it works well and the text is easy to read.

In summary I would say that both themes are good looking on the t68i; they both overcome the limited colour palette and look smart and professional. I liked the simplicity of the Esato theme, it appealed to me, but I have to admit to having something of a soft spot for the That Day theme, it just looks so friendly and I really liked the colours used in it.
I would most definitely recommend both themes to anyone looking for something new on their t68i.

Dude that's so cool from you !!! I really appreciate all of your comments

. Warms up my heart

For the T68 themes I used photoshop 256 color palette and from what you say it worked well, allthough normally the "Esato theme" shouldn't be all in white/gray and I tryed to make some effects but I'm very limited with the 14 pixels height of the titles .... But what do you mean by that: "yet the logo was somewhat faint" ? Is it like on the K700 pictures from masseur ?

@Jim

I would have included pictures, but since I am using either a P900 or a T630 to take them, the quality isn't all that good for this sort of thing.
The faintness is more pronounced than in masseur's photo in my opinion, the shadow effect seems to impart a certain faint quality to the logo. To be honest with you I actually like it as it stands, but I thought I should mention it.
