I agree.  Those fonts make it look as if you are offering up something 
"silly".  I'd also lose the animated 3-d logo when it turns to 2.4 as it 
is kind of an "amateurish" effect (and dated, really, in internet time).

I think those kind of things are very important for first impressions, 
and they stand out even more with the new sleeker page.

And while we're at it, *must* you have the link exchange banner there?  
That's another thing that gives an impression of something low-quality, 
which Euphoria is not.  "Real" products don't have link exchange 
banners, or any advertising for anything else.  Are you here to promote 
Euphoria or something else?

You may think that there is nothing wrong with these elements per se, 
but it is just that they are typical of amateur home pages and crappy 
products.  Not really the thing I'd want to be projecting for something 
as well-developed, robust, and all-around splendid as our beloved 
Euphoria...
