Dragon Blade Computers is a computer company based in Salisbury, North Carolina. We offer a wide range of services, including repairs, upgrades, diagnostics, and building computers from the ground up. We can do work on laptops, notebooks, servers, and networks. Our Specialty is Windows based machines, but have no problem taking a look at Apple and Linux based ones as well.
The whole site is built on a Wordpress installation, and the logo was designed in Flash, which I’m coming to appreciate more and more as an awesome vector design app. From mockup to final product took about 4 days once the logo had been designed.
In related news, R.I.P. Screw Myspace, which has departed from these mortal rackmounts to the great webserver in the sky.

looks pretty good. the logo could use some more texture though.

Thanks. I’m still pretty new to Flash, so as I get better the logo will probably get more elaborate/textured/etc.

Why are you using flash to design a logo anyway? I would suggest that for a vector program you use Adobe Illustrator. For the texture and stuff I would suggest photoshop. Pretty generic but they’re what I have found to be the best.

also, i looked over the site again. I’d suggest making the navigation bar and the top banner a bit smaller, theres just so much empty space it really looks like you’re just trying to make filler. You could use some more graphics. Also the blue looks neat but there is no kick to the page, nothing leaps out. You should add something, like yellow highlights or something. Definitely more black because it will helps anchor the page (probably not the right word for what I’m saying but hopefully you understand). The site looks pretty good, it’s just boring really. I would definitely add some more to the top banner, there is a huge amount of empty space. I like how you used the highlights to give the page some depth though.
Basically I wouldn’t even offer suggestions if it wasn’t worth the time, so take it as constructive criticism, I have an eye for graphic design. Overall it’s good it just looks like a basic outline that needs to be filled in.

I’m hardly an expert at Illustrator, so I may be missing something, but I can’t ever get Illustrator to make curves like I need it to. Flash is just easier for this sort of thing. And there’s definitely Photoshop post-processing – of the three programs, that’s the one I’m most familiar with.
I do appreciate the comments – I can definitely see where you’re coming from. Barring emergencies or assignments, I’ll be updating some of the elements over the next few days.
