Nice work! I like the fonts and how they pop out against the background. I like both colors a lot. I'd like to see them incorporate education somehow--the "builders" theme is clear. Also would like to see a "portable" icon that we can use elsewhere in the site in a standalone format (e.g. in the .ico file, maybe as a help button, etc).
I like the green chalkboard but I think the color blue looks better. The "A+" is great. Regarding an icon, I'm thinking of a symbol that can be carried throughout the site and used stand along, without a lot of text. In this case, I think the hardhat and a stack of books would do nicely.
Thanks for the compliment and input. It really helps. I'm liking it as well. I think the books and A+ were nice additions. The rolled plans are representative of a diploma as well.
