You can take a look at The Magento Showcase here. You’ll notice right away that it operates in the same way as the numerous css design galleries out there, it is however limited to only showcasing Magento based web sites.

The site is built in WordPress and makes use of the fantastic Snapshot theme from Woo Themes which allows showcased web sites to be sorted into categories, for example Fashion, Food and Drink, etc.

We plan to showcase a new Magento site each day, and stipulate that each showcased site must be visually or aesthetically inspirational.

So once again, take a look at The Magento Showcase.

Enough to scare the pants off any Windows user. Happy Halloween one and all.

After reviewing many I decided to go with html blender because I liked their name/site, their price was right and they guaranteed satisfaction. Not to mention xhtml1.0 strict compliance and css validation.

The service I must say, was top notch. Creating an account and uploading the files to be coded was a breeze. I really like the option to choose a timescale for the completion of the project too, this chopped a little off my bill which was most welcome. Much to my surprise the project was actually delivered ahead of schedule and was of a very high quality.

All of the html and css is constructed in an understandable and sensible way and is fully commented throughout. Images have been well optimised and arranged into different folders for things such as layout and icons. When ordering, I added a comment that two certain elements of text/imagery were to be made into buttons - I was delighted to see that this had been accounted for and my buttons were present. There were a couple of typos in text but hey, that’s easily forgiven

The design supplied matched my source file with I would say a 95% accuracy. There were only few, tiny changes which I needed to make including adjusting line-height to paragraphs and a couple of link styles.

All in all, I would highly recommend HTML Blender to anyone looking to have a design coded swiftly, accurately and professionally. Thumbs up guys!

All themes are of course compatible with he latest WordPress versions and have affordable prices starting from $60 for the single license just this month!

Themes are ordered in four categories for now, Business, Magazine, Personal and Portfolio so be sure you check it all out, you can browse them all here. And if you have any questions go to about or support page with theme documentations and forum. And if you are looking for press materials or releases there’s a press page available here.

So go ahead, take a look and of course let us know what you think.

Wiesinger Music by NEXQUNYX

This logo is a great example of how simplicity should rule above all. Here two sets of piano keys are arranged to form the letters W and M - this logo is perfect in it’s simplicity and relevance to the subject.

Trucker by marvin

This is a great, solid logo which represents it’s business perfectly. I love the bold colours and the fact that the truck is so recognisable whilst only being made of a few simple shapes and one colour.

Shadowbox by Logomotive

Another simple, but stunning logo. This one is so clever… the letters S and B are clearly recognisable, while their forms have been created simply using the shadows of boxes. Brilliant.

Secondfish by logoholik

Noticing a trend here? I like simple, strong and effective logos. The Secondfish logo ticks all of those boxes. Two fishes come together to form an S.

Wallie by gutdesign

It’s always nice to come across strong and effective logotypes. One could argue that logotypes themselves are the ultimate logo, requiring no accompanying image or mark. Anyway, this logotype works beautifully for a clothing company, it’s sharp, fashionable and the strokes give an impression of layers or fabrics.

E.C. Engineering by actiondesigner

The E.C. Engineering logo is strong and powerful, as you might expect an engineering logo to be. Here the letters E and C come together to form the Spanner/Wrench in the middle. A strong visual cue while incorporating the companies initials - brilliant!

Caravan Center by tilboy

The Caravan Center logo is simple and to the point - a little caravan at the center of a target. Again I love this logo for it’s simplicity and ability to work solidly in just one or two colours.

Garage Plus by Rudy

This logo is a great example of how small details can make big differences. A small cut in the plus symbol gives the logo a whole new dimension as it becomes a 3d immersive image rather than a flat 2d cross - the same as so many other logos out there

Unlock by logocento

Once again simplicity rules supreme. The n in “unlock” becomes the latch on an open or unlocked padlock.

The Blind Factory by danny

This is the best logo I’ve seen in some time. It’s so simple yet brilliant. At first look you might just see a factory icon, but when you read the text the mark takes on a whole new meaning as the blinds become visible. Stunning.

So there you have it. 10 beautiful logos which personally I’ve enjoyed a great deal over September. Stay tuned as I will hopefully have 10 more to share in October
