These are GREAT suggestions! Sorry it's taken me a little while to respond. I've been working on some more tweaks to the home page layout. I removed the scroller and made the article images much larger. I think this layout works much better on desktop and mobile screens, but by all means... I'd like your feedback.
You might need to refresh your browser cache (CTRL+F5 on IE, not sure on Chrome) to pick up the whole change.
As for the logo image, I'll look for a vector version of it tonight.
I like the 2nd from the bottom of Dominik's designs, because it accentuates Theremin over World. Keep these coming!!
