[GenABEL-dev] layout of GenABEL main page

I suggest that for the moment we go with what we have (Grant's variant); we

Please let me know if you have a strong opinion against! - I really would
like to use the logo for my presentation and also play a bit how well it
fits our pages (genabel.org, facebook, twitter)

YA
