I have my usual concerns concering copyright. Providing these can be sorted out and the site is fully protected from any action against it, I'm all for it.
It is down to "fair use" Bob, and fair use is a defense not a protection - you can only claim fair use while you are being sued, it won't protect you from being sued in the first place.
What?

I think there is a place for the artwork on the front page, but not as the site logo - just my opinion.

Which BTW is much more sober than ours.

But most important, I will talk as a lawyer:

All this drawings are protected by copyright laws, and even when some artists and bands are friendly, some are not.

Even when the author of the "ITCOTCK" has died, the band already protected this art cover with a copyright sign I verified) and King Crimson's lawyers are not famous for authorizing the use of their property.

If I'm not wrong, they already made Prog Archive delete all the samples of King Crimson music.

We are risking ourselves to a legal process, and that will end the site as we know it, because even if we win, the costs will be so high that M@X could be able to close the site.

So unless you have got the EXPRESS CONSENT of each and every artist and band, I would suggest to delete it.

Gosh! Serious warning! We certainly don´t want to this site should be closed.Confused
Simultaneously, I don´t trust that such experienced admins here would make that schoolboyish goof.

My problem with it, is that it's a bit too bright Pinch
that, and nothing seems to flow, images are just put on there... 
 
 
 
 
Not as bright as THIS, but still bright :
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
These two are my favorite though :
 
 
Don't recognize the images on the first one, but i love the color scheme and both seem to flow right to the logo Smile
 
  
 
 
 
Good job on all these though Thumbs Up
I could never do that Shocked

Compositionally it's an improvement, but that color scheme has still got to go.
