[atlantaprog] Re: logo

Hi all,
Actually, Greg and others, this is a great argument AGAINST using 
flash! Lots of people don't have the the plug-in installed correctly. 
My intention was to only use the Flash thing as a splash screen with 
the actual home page being static. I would include a Flash-detect 
script so people without the plug-in will go straight to the home 
page.

Thanks Wade for the comments about the Z-Axis site. It's not a 
particularly exciting design, but it's clean, functional and FAST. 
These are the things my clients want when I build sites for them 
(speed IS important!) so I spend a lot of time with graphic 
optimization and cleaning up the html.

Greg, I think we're just about there with the splash screen. I want 
to correspond with you off-list about the final tweaks, but it will 
have to wait a day or so 'cause I'm pretty swamped right now 
(self-employed freelancers don't get holidays!). What I want to do is 
settle on the final logo BEFORE we tweak the animation any more, then 
work backwards from there.

PS Wade, how's the mastering going? When do you need bios and pics?
