My app's icon is blue with red lettering so if I were able to carry that branding over to the look of the app's screens it would be awesome. Just an idea.

However, Apple is very very difficult when it comes to font-color in title bars. They almost always reject apps that use a non-standard font color in the title bar. To do what you are talking about, Apple suggests using an image, not text. v1.5 does not yet support images in the nav-bar but will soon. In the meantime, you could customize the navigation bar with a bit of experiementing. Hint: Have a look the BT_Layout / BT_viewUtilities.m file and find the configureBackgroundAndNavBar method. Every single navigation bar in the entire app (assuming v1.5 here) is created using this method. This means you could do a little Googling to figure out how to add an image to this the title bar in this method and it would appear in all your screens. Hope this helps.
