The yellow doesn't "stand" well on the dark gray background. It 
causes the eyes to focus and defocus. Plain white or a very light 
yellow would be better.

Good idea to have a curvy font based on the letter "D". Only the 
"4" in 2014 seems to be a bit of an outlier, maybe it would help 
to give it some curves at the top (and on the left). It kind of 
breaks the overall curvy feeling.

Maybe move the logo+text a bit more to the right and give the 
text a bit more padding-left to give it more room to "breathe". 
The content could do with a bit more line spacing in the 
bullet-point section.

If I have time and there is demand I could attempt a design 
template for 2015. At the moment I'm too busy to come up with 
anything for 2014.
