no I know what you mean driftlad, what I meant was that it seemed pretty desperate for 2Advanced to be taking on that kind of work given 'who they are' :-)

good site.
too good.
it's technology like this that is making clients demand more for less from us....

All the motion blurs and zooms gave me motion sickness. And that intro was just too goddamn long.

no, i am not depressed. as a matter of fact i only see more clear now, and i conclude it is flashy bling-bling rubbish like this that make the internet a joke..
utter shite.

The site is slow and hard to slosh through, but the design is very nice as is most of the work 2A produces.
The tragedy is the content and it's business model.

yeah...kind of sad..
a mate of mine tried to explain to me the other day why they are doing web hosting biz now...
i think it makes sense now..and i think they need to move on in their design...
so common and deja vu

here's the problem.
some of those logos aren't that bad, but it still takes a designer to pick a proper logo with the proper colours and font to suit the company's image.
I'l bet that 95% of the clients pick some crappy, comic sans, clashing colour, generic nighmare of a logo.
in the end, they'll have to pony up some real dough to get a professional to do it.

can someone make a screendump of them logos cuz i can't even get to them here..
well at least not without getting all epileptic looking at it..

I think it might get people who wouldn't have thought about design thinking a bit.
You know how much clients fiddle with design work (left a bit, right a bit). Well, i think they'd think this was great but after a while using it or after a few months with their logo they might think
"hey, i like this globle logo, but i wish that bit was over a bit, and the globe was chequred, and i wish it could turn into a unicorn and fly away."
Then they're into a bespoke design and might come calling.

Not to make excuses, but I doubt they have many potential clients looking at this site with in Safari on a Mac. I assume they are targeting small businesses with tight purse strings. Why not have a service so the guy who's starting up a roofing company, or body shop can have a logo without having to dish out dollars he probably doesn't have. They saw an opportunity in the market and put together a product that could make money off of that opportunity. Good on them.

But the flashy site pisses me off.
I reckon a lot of small businesses don't have a broadband connection.

I like the site. Much better than therer new one (for their site).
That logo thing is alittle scary! I know some people will have the same logo, but really, most clients would not care if it only cost them $150.So now you could buy those templates for websites and this logo generator for a few hundred and have a whole business! Scary, but interesting, nonetheless.

Good idea for extracting money from businesses but the site was pretty fucked, I had the same probs as 4cY - stuff not lining up and stupidly slow animations especially in the demo. Poor quality work, they need to test more before going live with a site.
- Blofeldt0
I don't think it's a very original idea, but they can just let it run now. If it's an internal 2A project they they've used the downtime well to create a new, low maintence revenue stream

word, blofeldt..
but well if it is 2A, you can't tell them.. they don't have ears for reason like this.
at least provide a more accesible (xhtml) alternative?
i don't think 2A has ever heard of that.
- 4cY0
and my 'word' was aimed at the Blofeldt post before the last one..
(you guys are too fast for me today!)

Personally, Im waiting for Money Generator 2.0™. Thats what I want.

the funniest one was for "vision architects"
if an architectual firm needs to rely on this piece of shit software to design their logo than i definately don't want them designing my building.
