Typical parent/child relations I suppose. I used to think that of my mother, and she used to think I was acting really childishly. But I think we've met somewhere halfway by now. :)

You will have to let go of reason, and let emotions take over. Then you'll be down to 27-28 in no time. (But don't overdo it, as you might end up a teenager! :-D)

one of the best known urban legends that even has been put in marketing text books and taught at universities... but has no reality to its history. http://www.snopes.com/business/misxlate/nova.asp[^] I love puns, so I do use the no va as a pun, but I know it also was an urban legend. :) I like it as much as the Found On Road Dead which was my Grandfather's favorite joke. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Shoot - I loved that one :( I remember a Sociology class I took to fill out elective hours in college did a few days on cultural interpretations. The funniest was a Tide (laundry detergent) add in the Middle East. The add was a series of three pictures on a magazine page: - The leftmost picture was of a woman holding some dirty clothes above a washing machine. She had a disgusted look on her face - The middle picture was of her adding Tide to the washing machine - The rightmost picture was of her holding clean clothes above the washer. She had a very satisfied look on her face. Tide wondered why they weren't seeing any increased revenue or product takeup in the area - the ad campaign was a total bomb. Turns out, folks who read Arabic - which is always written right to left - tend to interpret sequences right to left as well, if possible. They interpreted the Tide ad as saying 'Tide makes clean clothes dirty'. I couldn't help but picture the shock and horror that must have been on the face of the ad guy who was responsible for the creation and distribution in that region... ;P

Did you know that Roger and I spent time at the SAME hospital as little ones. It is amazing how small a world this is.

I can promise you emotions were VERY high this morning. I guess the "Demons of Stupidity" drive it out of me during the day. X| "Simplicity is more complicated than you think. But it’s well worth it” (Ron Jeffries)

This is the thing about organization of posts here. There's no way to bump a post back up and the replies don't notify everyone in the topic only the person you reply to. Hence me title with a play on "how low can I go" as I feel like this is semi-spam. So if you perceive it as spam I apologize *WAY* up-front. However you are my peers and quite honestly a very fine group of people who opinions I actually value pretty highly. (Read that as a compliment, I'm not always the best with wording.) So here is ROUND II. My wife suggested dumping the egg/rock and going for a wireframe and Jed also took a lot of the other feedback to heart so feel free to critique again. My first impressions are that I really like it. It stayed the same but it's subtley different to. Most importantly John Simmons suggestion was brought to life. I like it both ways. Be curious to see what he thinks and others who also agreed with him. I've gotten some interest emails from people wondering how expensive Jed is. I think his rates are incredibly good. I send any work I can his way because he's great to work with. If you want feel free to contact him directly with questions and just reference his work on my logo as a starting point. His email is jedREMOVEsplitREMOVE@hotmailREMOVE.com I think he'd be happy to answer questions and provide the same type of service if you are interested.

I can't actually notice any difference between 2 & 3, but if you go with 3 the one suggestion i would make is to make the globe a bit smaller so it doesn't go so far down behind the "ARC" letters. IMO the 'system architects' in solid colour looks better than the gradient effect. Using the globe as an 'O' is cool, but not consistent with the first O in CODE. just my 2 cents. Good luck!

To brits, Frog is a slang term for somebody who's french -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!
Maybe the "O" should be replaced with a beret hung on a wheel of cheese. :rolleyes: BW

I rather like #7. Second choice would be #9. :) Cheers, Vikram.
