@Felipe: I know, me neither. We really wanted to run the extra mile on this one but maaaaaaan the media-queries and responsive design/switchy grids are such a pain in the a** if you want to design something outside the ordinary 2-column layout. Hopefully we'll have everything ready (or as ready as it'll be) by Friday.
@Andrew I couldn't find one that felt "right" so yeah, I had to scan a bunch of papers and play with the opacities until I got it "right". I think it's the first time since I bought my "all in one" printer that I use the scan feature. te-he!
Yeah combining various textures is the way to go, if it's executed well you can make even the most average textures interesting. I think you nailed it!
Don't get me wrong, this is a *very nice* combination of texture, type, and color. But if you're looking to own "web designer whose personal identity is a crown icon in a circle," I'm pretty sure that's been taken.
@Jay, Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate the heads up and I certainly see what you're saying, but if I may, unlike Tim's online alter-ego, our brand is not just a crown inside a circle as you can see here: here, instead, the crown is just a way to simplify the mark into an isologo for applications where using the full logo is just unpractical. Case in point: our street sign vs. the wall inside our studio. Furthermore, we're definitively not after the "web designer whose personal identity is a crown..." slot, mainly because this is not a personal identity for a blog, but a small studio with 5 other talented lads, but again, I definitively see your POV and hopefully the new website will get these points across.

Awesome! I agree with Liam, you combined them beautifully. The one with the little black specs is really what makes it in my opinion.
