I think it's a great concept and well executed. My only observation (not criticism!) is that it produces an optical illusion where the yellow section seems taller than the search box. That also happens on the rebound with the rss section.
Thanks Andy, it is noted. There are a few more brand colours and variations to try out so will be sure to keep that in mind as it is just concept stage at the minute.
Good spot Evan, have a 6 day design refinement booked in a week on Monday so these little touches will all go on the to-do list. Shame I can't share more (any ref of brand) loving the amount of feedback.
Anyone want to sign an NDA to review & critique the other 17 concepts/9 brands - joking! Haha

Thanks guys, be sure to update with more, as and when i can. Actually good to see it out of context as a few alignment issues which are now noted.

Dude. This is awesome! Diagonals across primary elements are very rare on the web. I love how well this is executed.

Great style Leigh - how will the drop-down work with the corner cut off like that?

Amazing work - I love it :D
the magnification glass in the search box seems too close to the diagonal line, compared to all the other elements.
