Hi I made this header bar. Can be used for any website or forums.

Please give me suggestions to make it better.

I like it, but you should know most people don't want a search bar in their header. If you look at most sites, for example this one, you can see the search bar is not in the header. Maybe you should lighten it up by using different colors if possible. I think it's a bit dark, but overall is ok!

thanks for the pointer Gruzz.

i followed the link you posted and guess what I found your shield icon there.  

I thought you said I could use it? The icon inside the shield is by me, it's a Buddhism/star wars icon. If I can't use it, just drop me a note and I'll remove it.

i think it's too darck but it's nice !:great:

no no, sorry if i mis-conveyed my message. i just mentioned that i found one of icons made by you on the site link you provided.

it is your icon, please use it the way you want.  

Ok thank you! The site is far from complete. If any of you is interested in Shaolin/Kung Fu, drop me a note.

It's great , may be you can use gloss effect on some places to see whether it looks better or not?
