I do not like the brown. Needs to be a more positive color. I am not sure I like the angle either.

Yes, change the brown color. It looks like a cardboard box on it's side. Right now, I still like the original better.

Nick,

The "technical manual" look would be fine if the book was intended for RE business professionals, but it isn't. The general public responds to "pretty pictures" and "colors".

JMHO.

Nick, the only reference to NACHI on the front cover will be covered when I put my sticker on it. You might want to put the logo on the front.

I prefer it the way it is, thank you. I want to promote MY business, not InterNachi so much. They get plenty of 'Press' on my websites and brochures and biz cards. This is one of the few "direct contacts" I get with my clients. It is all about (them) and ME!!!

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

I couldn't agree more, InterNACHI gets lots of play and press on my site, my business cards, my mailers and my truck signage... sometimes it's important to represent yourself, your client and your business first.

I think the new design looks pretty good... when will it be out?

Sometimes, change is good... I think the book was due for a make-over.
