Well... if you're accepting designer input , I'll throw my hat in the ring.

I think- and I accept the risk of vanity with this statement- that both designs are undoubtedly very well thought-out and "professionally" put together. Each has its strengths and weaknesses.

Besides the question of aesthetics, which we can only leave up to you, one must consider the idea of function. While simplicity is desired in certain realms- websites for professions, services, and products- it tends to stagnate in others- music being the key here. If you consider other music artists, you see that flair and counter-simplicity design is prevalent. Here are a few examples (and please forgive me if you think I am pigeonholing you into any genre or artist-type; music aside, let's consider the design):

Basshunter:

Consider the background and gradation (on the banner once you enter). I would actually argue that isn't the best banner since it tends to be hard to read, but just considering it as a sum of its parts minus function you get a prevalent intricacy in the design.

Alex Gaudino:
http://www.alexgaudino.com/
This makes me think intricacy through typography. He escapes the clean-cut lettering on '2.0 startups" by using the stylized A.G. but preserves clarity with the under-write.

http://www.colonia.com.hr/
Simple Lettering, intricate design.

NSFW

Consider the intricacy of octopus.


In conclusion, the intricacy avoided in many mainstream designs for '2.0' is not always preferred in certain avenues. You also have to consider your own website, which doesn't tend towards the design pattern of beauty through simplicity, but rather, through complexity (consider your stars and layout).

Ultimately, it is a question of your aesthetics and both of your choices are good

EDIT: Your turn to answer a question ... who did that cool DJ on the side of the website?

 

[David_Tiger]

nice, very good post you have there

I don't remember the exact location i found it but I found it while I was looking for a nice 'DJ' style logo, and after weeks of searching I found a few and then chose that logo and designed the site around its theme and colors.

In the end I came out with that design and I was amply impressed by the work but my work on logo's didn't really take the site up another notch for style.
The 'DJ Tiger' logo which I badly made, messed it up a little and although I know I could have spent more time on the logo. I know there are many experienced logo designers out on the internet and here within X10.
I just thought I would get some help from the good people and make the design look and stay a nice design.

Hopefully i would get some fans and some inspiration to keep my music making alive, and maybe someday make a living out of it.

[Patrick M]

Looking for something with a more electrified look?

I'll see what I can do for you.
Edit:

There it is with a different font.

 

[David_Tiger]

yes a more maybe 'DJ' style look to the font.

that one is just a little hard to read.

 

[Patrick M]

Here's another try with the font:

If you like it enough I got the PSD so changing the font around is easy enough, just kind of busy atm, got a term paper to finish up that's due in 2 hours

 

[David_Tiger]

yes, well i have now chosen the winner to be Patrick

WELL DONE!!

i'll pay 800¢ for the logo.
and would like the PSD if its ok pay more if needed.

 

[Patrick M]

Alright, I'll send you the PSD tonight, really need to finish up this Term Paper it's worth 20% of my grade and due in less than an hour

Check your PM box in the early morning and it will be there.

 

[David_Tiger]
