Could also consider gradient sides... Been trying textured stuff but it sure does clash a lot... Also are the sunbeams behind "Newgrounds" too distracting from the rest of the page?

I think that the sunbeam "background" behind the logo could work as an animated fade-in-and-out transition when hovered with the cursor above it. Not only that keeps the previous logo of the first-intended design of the homepage, but, like that, could work as a highlight when you hover over it. Also, make sure to add some borders or inner shadows to make it blend with the design, preferably like in the example below.

Here is an example of what I mean:
