Scientists, like all discoverers of truth, have always asked, "What?” “How?” “Why?” “What if?” and “Why not?” Questioning science is science.

Too many earth tones?

How about making the background a red-blue gradient? Get the colors of the flag in there.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

How about ....

° positioning Reagan's photo a little further right (maybe a little bigger, too)?

° adding a Reagan quote centered below "The Briefing Room"?  This one comes to mind ---

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.  We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.  It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, (or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free).
                                                                                                             --- Ronald W. Reagan
                                                                                                                 President of the United States
                                                                                                                 1981 - 1989

I like the idea of a quote but that one maybe too long...there are so many to choose from like these

"Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem."

"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives."

"In the real world, peace through strength must be our motto."

“Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.”

and my fav...“I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.”
― Ronald Reagan

I like the photo and the shield.  But I don't like the font.  Especially the way the 'f' rubs against the 'i'.  I'm partial to sans serif fonts.

I am not a fan of the brown.  I know brown suits were big during the Reagan years, but it's a color that does not stimulate and engage the mind.

I'd like to see more Red, White, and Blue; celebration of American Exceptionalism; and the optimism of A New Dawn in America.

There are some nice images of Reagan from the July 3rd - 5th, 1986, celebration of the Statue of Liberty Centennial.  That was a big celebration, back in the day.

I couldn't care less about fonts, unless it's hideous.  I've had traumatic experiences with fonts.

That's just my humble opinion.  There's no pleasing everybody.

If keeping the 'brown' theme, IMHO the whole banner needs to be equally centered and maybe swapping the picture of Reagan where the emblem is and the emblem where the picture is.  I also like the idea of inserting one of Reagan's quotes.
