The red & black was indeed distracting and it's good that you guys removed it.

For this one, I felt a bit too plain. The previous one looked very professional and very user-friendly. If you want to use the current version, maybe try to use the Gradient tool just like the previous one.

A new logo, as you guys planned, go ahead to make it.

We do a lot of shows, I'd rather not have characters on the front page unless it was on a rotating basis. Symbols or logos are perfect though, so the background is perfect.

I don't think you guys have a point about it being too bright, since the level of whiteness is the same as before.

What the old front page did have is more dark colors to serve as points of contrast, which is something that we sort of need now.

How about putting something along the margin to make the page more dynamic? even the simple page outline that the old one had is cool

I was thinking of using a base theme that would allow me to do that easily once the final design comes around. The only problem with dynamic pages is that they're usually implemented with Javascript or AJAX and you don't know who has those turned off and they're a pain for mobile users to use. I think I may have a way around that problem though.

As others said, it's too white. And yes, I'm awasre that the old one was white too :P

A darker background with white text (exactly as the forum color scheme, but without the red lines) is a lot more relaxing for anyone to read, regardless of color preferences.

About js and ajax...dunno why you would need those since plain good html and style sheets can do that just fine.

Both new pages suck for me. Too white like everyone else says. And he font was bad on the last one. Keep trying out new designs though. Eventually one will work.

It needs a banner, pronto!!! Also the white overwhelms because of the lack of backgrounds, banners, designs, etc. Also, a sans-serif font wouldn't hurt.
