[consulting] Drupal Pros / Marketplace dev site: comments and questions

[Bèr Kessels]

IMO The logo is a bit odd. I thought it was one of the shrunken 
heads-on-a-stick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tzantza). Though 'headhunting' 
might be correct :D, I find this a bit weird, esp for those that dont know 
druplicon well. 

Sorry to go nitpicking on a detail, but I find first impressions quite 
important myself.
