[GenABEL-dev] layout of GenABEL main page

[Maarten Kooyman]

Dear All,

  I made also a small sketch of a logo. It is pretty raw, colours are 
wrong , etcetera, etcetera.

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


Cheers,

Maarten
