the white stroke was meant too make it look like a paper cut out.

Ummm I had an idea... If you're open to it....
Screw it I'm not even gonna try to beat ya... lol
In blue (for all the complainers LOL kidding!) ..
I like the words in the paper cut out, but I'm not so sure about the controller, the globe could work in it though
"Where the world comes to get off!"
Just an idea!
That's awesome!!
I know I'm a picky bitch, but if the cut out people were moved to the bottom right standing over the globe, I reckon it would make it look just a little less cluttered..

Just a little constructive criticism Dana. Hope you don't mind.
You're getting there but a few points IMO.
#2 and #3 are too much clutter (the whole globe plus added group of figures).
You see how the current one in place right now on top the page has a crisp, clean, but yet stylish look about it?.....Professional kind of look to it? It's not only because the logo design is good, but also because of the use of space (negative space as we call it). Room to breath. It's not overcrowded. There's beauty in use of negative space. I believe also there's a reason why it's designed with the logo to the left, space in the middle, something else at the right hand if need be. (Tim mentioned the reason why).
My recommendation:
Try to keep uncluttered and crisp.
The first one #1 works best in my mind but.....position logo more to left (not as tight as #2 and #3 though).
Leave globe cropped as #1 but remove playstation control. Use glow around globe (energy).
Background: Introduce a deeper blue at bottom to blend midway into current blue.
Reduce "OFF TOPICZ" logo configuration a bit more so it floats (need not be as big as now).
Do 2 further options using #1 as the foundation:
• One with slogan and "OFF TOPICZ" logo as is positioned at left (but not so tight to the left edge).
Position globe next to this configuration (the space between logo and globe as you have in #1 is fine as gauge).
• One with "OFF TOPICZ" logo only at left.
Globe and slogan at right.
*Both above leaving space in middle.
Hope this helps.

introducing a deeper blue would conflict with the tiled background behind the header that i was trying to incorperate into the header. IMO a banner that is the full width of the forum that conflicts with the gradient background will not look right.#1

i personally think the glow looks cheesy. I tried fooling with it. I appreciate the help.
what do u think about this? i made the cut out people smaller and raised the planet a bit. Made Offtopicz a little smaller and made it look less cramped.

Not too sure what you mean it would conflict. Just supposed to be a deeper blue to add more life that blends into the existing colour around or just before midway. But if you feel so, no probs. It's your baby.

Thi sone is a bit better (less clutter). Logo too close to left edge still. Let it breathe.
About the figures. It's growing on me but one thing....the ladies might be jealous that there are only men figures. Might want to consider putting a skirt on one or two of them.
:dunno
It's just something to add dimension, color, whatever you want to call it.
It's what ever hits me at the moment... I will throw up some other ideas as they come to me. But I have no set vision... just something clean and professional
