Dire looks awesome, however I'll tell you what I got told when I started making themes. Make a better logo. Weirdly, having a nice logo for a nice theme elaborates the features in a theme. Don't ask me how it works because I have no clue, but after a while (and many arguments later) I realized they were right.

I really like the Dire Theme. The colours look really nice and balanced with that one.
The Deviance looks kinda messy atm. I know you said it was unfinished so I'll wait until it's done before I pass judgement.
I think BreShiE is right. The logo is an extension of the theme. It sets the feel for what the page should look like. If the logo looks professional and sleek, you would expect the rest of the page to follow that style. Take SL for example. We have a 3D logo with a textured background. Naturally the buttons and icons are 3D and the site sits on this textured background. I think this is pretty obvious stuff though. The Dire theme seems to follow it's logo with exception for the fact there's more texture on the rest of the page and the logo is very simple.

yeah, deviance seems a little awkward since it's like a sector of your screen, and then just cuts off.
