[Blue] - Perhaps dimming the logo itself a tiny bit would be for the best, as it now soaks up quite a bit too much attention from the text, as well as make it slightly harder to discern, due to similarities.
[Purple] - Right now, the techpanel looks a bit bulky, and lowering it to serve as background for both the text and [Log out | Name | Inbox] would probably look better? As well as removing/moving the elements closest to the text itself out of the way - and the small stripe things, breaking the uniformity of the paneling, might not be needed.
[Green] - The edges of the emblem are a bit too close to the edge, for my tastes, but perhaps making the topbanner and the forum path stripe merge visually would remedy this. [removing the gap in between, and possibly elongating the banner, as the emblem is poking out of bounds as is]
[Red] - I feel like the shaded stripes, and the pattern that arises in the logo could be used for something nice, in the banner itself - like if the shade carried over to the underlying techpanel - seems like some of the lines are curved though, so that might be hard-ish
[Also, in order to bring focus to the title - maybe have the tech paneling overlap the emblem? like, if it's covered you will see the edges and interpret the entire shape, whereas the name itself is still fully visible - or possibly having the semi transparent avali glass overlay part of it, to add some interesting visual effects - maybe lowering the glow on the text a bit would make it a bit more focused as well. ]
