    Thanks for the feedback so far! It's very welcome.

    I kept the Cheetah animated graphic to 2 colors and it came in under 500k. I decided to push the limits further on this one, and it stands at 5.7mb ... and that's about as much as I can compress it and still maintain some quality.

    I figured with all the 10+mb gifs I see on Reddit (video rips mostly) I might squeak by, and it does seem to load better in Chrome and Firefox. Safari is the slowest, but once loaded it animates as it should. I probably should have held back a bit; found a way to have less colors or something.

    Any obvious design flaws? Spelling errors? Other design elements that cause immediate irrational anger inside your tender designer soul?

    • Why is your final output an animated gif? Did your client really ask for that?monospaced
    • No, I do these for myself. I realize gifs aren't ideal in some ways, but infogrpahics are a big deal right now and animated ones are almost unheard of. The one I did last year generated a lot of good 'net buzz for me, and people really seemed to dig it.jerkyjake
