Those are Dragonite wings, actually. I thought they were Zard wings at first, too, but then I looked at the banner.
I'd like them if they were thinner and the text was black or part of the nav divider image. Otherwise, they're fine.
The banner should really be shorter, and needs to be centered. It's just way too big.
I did have a problem with the right side nav bar floating on top of the news\content. I'm using FireFox 1.5 beta 2, btw.
Needs some tweaking, but the colors work well, and it's an overall efficent design.
