I'm a big fan of Acquia Marina, and recently adapted it for a customer's new site and branding. See:

I used the Newsticker module to add a scrolling jQuery slogan in the preface section. This was really easy to implement and to theme. If anyone else fancies a go, it's as easy as enabling the module, adding the newsticker block to the preface-first region and pasting the following into your local.css
/*******************************/
/* NEWSTICKER */

/* NEWSTICKER */
/*******************************/
div.newsticker, li-newsticker, #preface-wrapper div.block ul li {
padding: 0em;
background: none;
}
#preface-wrapper a:link, #preface-wrapper a:visited {
color:#FFFFFF;
line-height:1.2em;
text-decoration:none;
}
