Hello.
As a happy user of Vantage (which I’ve purchased for myself, and got my boss to purchase it for our webagency) I wouldonly have 3 minor suggestions for the theme.
1, Wrap functions in if ( !function_exists() ) so it is possible to replace them from within a child theme like I have done on http://www.prowa.se/ to be able to exclude the included Font Awesome version to use a newer one from a plugin.
2. Enabling alignment of the logo when using the default masthead (left and center).
3. Put widget areas in the header when you use the default masthead, maybe 1 on each side of the logo if suggestion #2 is fulfilled and the logo is centered, or 1-2 on the right side when it’s aligned to the left.
Hi Izaac
Thanks very much for your support and feedback. All super valid points that would make support and usage better. If you have a moment please consider posting this here: Page: Suggest a Feature and it’ll go directly through to the development team.
Here are two things I can help with right now.
1. It’s still possible to filter functions in a child theme, just a bit more complicated. Here is an example child theme filtering the posted_on function which renders categories and tags below blog posts.

The function I’m referring to is on line 30 of functions.php in the child theme. It’s filtering the vantage_get_post_categories function from line 294 of inc/template-tags.php.
Here is some more on filter hooks: http://themeshaper.com/2009/05/03/filters-wordpress-child-themes/.
2. Under Appearance > Customize > General you can currently center the logo. It’s default is left so that just leaves a right align option. The following Custom CSS could be used:
