First ATS site with own template

This is my first arcade using ATS, i modified the template myself and it's based on the default theme. The logo "arcade" seems nice but "fuse" might change a bit..

What do you guys think?

PS: It's not live yet, although it's in google but have to modify some more and upload games

I found it of Gamespunk website, saw the guy/url on talkarcades, but it's a pretty basic/standard background lot of tutorials show it but i think it's nice, makes it a bit more special than just a background color

I'm here too
I think, it will look more attractive if you add straight colored background (like featured games section) to hot games, games being played now, etc...

You mean like this?


I'm not really liking it, maybe on the middle one could get a full background instead of a gradient fade.. but i dont like the 3 blocks like this.

Maybe something like this will be better

That looks pretty good too! Except the random games are gone.. their good for indexing in google.
I might take a look into that thanks!

I didn't know the thing about random games
If you have Photohop, you should check http://www.dezinerfolio.com/downloads . (There are lots of useful styles, gradients, etc.) and http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/revealing-m...-20-logos/

Make them with Photoshop, search for some background tutorials in PS on google, or get one from a site you like and change colors etc
