Do you mean the background behind the SOM.com lettering is a different colour? I am aware of that (technically this is not my fault btw, the theme came this way) otherwise please elaborate...
As for the logo it is not an emboss actually. The old graphic was unacceptable to me (really only temporary) ...this one looks like it's raised out of the banner panel. Anyway, I think it looks quite nice, but most importantly it looks good enough. I'm done working with it, but would be happy to try different graphics out upon presentation. And I think you're being either sarcastic or facetious, because "horrible" is a strong choice of words for something that would appear acceptable on any corporate site. I agree maybe it could use some tweaking in the ramp dept, but otherwise looks fine.
If you're confused about the layout. Make your browser window smaller and smaller until the non-background part of the page stops moving. Then you will see how the banner looks on an 800x600 display.
PS: One reason I think the emboss look works especially well, is the white halo around the lettering cannot be removed, and looks really tacky imo. But as an emboss it looks like it's just raising the lettering.
