I agree with Dan's observation that the graphical balance is now altered 
a bit between the logo on the left and the icons the right. I'd not 
increase the size of the logo, though, but perhaps simply moving it up a 
bit would help. Also I do see the spacing issue on with the icons on the 
left, but I think it's minor and can be solved by, well, adding some 
space. Dan's mock-up has a similar problem with the icons that run 
vertically (so does the live site I'm just noticing), so that would have 
to be fixed as well. Again, a really minor point. And I like adding 
"OpenGrok" but I'd delete the term "wicked fast" at this point.
