I think the logo bar running through the middle doesn't work - it's far too dominant and distracting. The logo should be clearly visible but not distract from the main message on the page. The split page design is also going to be potentially restricting - You can't have one large central theme on a page, you'll always be looking to have content pairs. Even if left and right panes are related, the viewer is continually distracted - having to cross the huge central bar to get from one side to another.
I hope that's a reasonable comment.
