You may have noticed that most of the SR sites have a shiny new logo in the upper left-hand corner. We had been talking about getting nice logos for years, but the formation of the LLC this past December finally gave us the boost to actually get something done. In fact, when we got together at the Baseball Winter Meetings to sign the documents that offically formed the LLC, we met a graphic designer by the name of John Hartwell. John runs a company named Hartwell Studio Works. He has done a lot of sports-related work, including designing the logo of the Birmingham Barons, a minor league baseball team. We have been extremely impressed with John, not only the finished product, but also with the professionalism he displayed throughout the process.
Our hope is that these new logos further unify the sites. We want people of to think of our web sites as parts of a whole, not distinct entities, and we believe these logos are an important step in that process. Please feel free to let us know what you think (you're never shy about that, are you?), and as always we thank you for your support of our sites.

Verrrrry nice. I'm especially glad to see that you changed up the names on the front page for the Players section...ever since the first changes, it was Brady and Tomlinson and Unitas. I'm thinking you're gonna rotate it daily like on the other reference sites? And excellent logo!
I like the logo.
Been a while since I've been here. I thought I was at the wrong site at first. I like what I see though. Good job. BTW, this is such a good resource. Thanks for all the hard work.
I am usually too busy looking at the data to notice. However, I have noticed you have added a background color of white to your pages. Most of your users probably would not have noticed; my default is bg color is about 10% gray.
I have several game logs for players who played for the Los Angeles Raiders during the 1992 and 1993 seasons. I have box scores which include individual stats for each player. Let me know if you want them.
Not only do I have the logs for 1992 and 1993. I did want to add that I love the new look but I would suggest a small profile page for each person where we can place our favorite players and use those as quick links. So on my page I could have Ken Stabler, Tim Brown, Howie Long and Marcus Allen
Please consider adding player measurables to your database. NFL combine results have been available for many years as are NBA draft canp measurables. As reference material it helps to bring more current player page hits if all are under the same link.
i just love it! it is very clean and very user-friendly,also. thanks,guys.
The site is absolutely beautiful. Crisp, clean and does not require any caffiene.
I could dig thru this stuff all day long! Long live PFR!!
First time by for awhile. Like the new look a lot. As an old time LA Ram season ticket holder, I have to take exception to the way career totals are listed. People like Hacksaw Reynolds and Lawrence McCutcheon never played in St.Louis, yet that is what they are branded with in the career totals. Surely something can be done to rectify this inaccuracy.
