[GenABEL-dev] layout of GenABEL main page

[Nicola Pirastu]

Dear all,


I gave a shot at the logo, it's very simple. Let me know if you like the general idea, if you'd like to add something or change it. 

As colors I've sticked to those of the website but they can be changed. Also the pattern for the formulas have some white spaces, but this is just a quick draft.

If you hate it or think it should go in another direction, I'm not touchy so please do tell me.

Best.

Nicola
