that's where we should all spill our valuable human resources for.. making money..and MORE and MORE
gotta luv them American philosophy of ego-happiness.

I wouldn't say desperate, but I would say thinking like he wants to make MORE money. I say go for it at any rate. Cutthroat!

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.

true nuff janne..
didn't quite realize it was coming up fucked on safari..
i'm looking at it on my PC right now, and it was fine..
but if the code is wack, then thats a horse of a different colour..
anyhow, sorry if i stirred the hornets nest..
i thought it was going to be a 2A bash fest..
but i wasn't really thinking of you when i posted..
you're cool...

i hear ya, exador.
but still, we need to watch our standards..
i can get pretty stoked when i hear someone say 'get off your high horse' when there is even the slightest attempt at rational debate..
- exador10
anyhow, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers..
i like you guys.
t'was just an opinion, thats all..
:)peace

damnit, i am not smashing 2A in any way, and certainly not Eric Jordan or anyone employed there.. throwing mud is childish and doesn't make you look professional.
I only have a problem with the way the site is presented and the layout is completely fux0red on my Mac.
I would have expected better then that from a company like this.
anyway, offering services like these is certainly filling a spot in the market, be it one i am not going to touch with a..
well you know the deal.

easy boys easy..
bonsef..
if a client came to me and asked me to design that site, and had the money to pony up..
of course..
i've got a family and a mortgage to pay..and janne..
i know it's not the entertainment industry..
of course it's not..
but lets be honest..
growing up, half my friends ended up in low paying labour jobs...
the other half are engineers, technicians, doctors, lawyers etc.
it's a pretty decent mix..
the thing that seperated me from either, is that, for my entire life, i wanted to be an artist..
it was the one thing i was really good at from the time i was a kid..
so when i see some of my friends coming home from a day at the factory, tired and grubby..
and look at what I do for a living..
which is fun for me beyond belief..
i consider myself pretty blessed and happy..
its a tough industry, and it's full of sharks, kids and 'sunday painter' types..
but at the end of the day...
i get to horse around in photoshop and have a ball..
and most people don't...

not that anyone has mentioned him personally in this thread or anything..
just that i find the 2A threads tend to get nasty, with folks slagging them for not being better designers.. etc.well..
considering they're swamped with work, and are a recognized name in the industry...
and that most of you (tho you'd NEVER admit it) would trade your left nut to work there with them, because it would mean clients with DEEP pockets, fun projects, and lots of creative leeway...
face it..
this is inustry is RIPE with jealousy..here's an old joke..
how many designers does it take to screw in a light bulb..?
five.
one to screw it in, and the other four to stand along side and say they could've done it better....

"sweet fancy moses..

hey exador, would you do a cheap logo website for a client?
- exador10
worked super fast for me, and i found the design easy to navigate, and intuitive..perfect for folks that don't know beans about creating graphics...
it has to be simple, direct, and easy to operate..and this site functions on all those levels..
well done, in my opinion..now personally, a company that does stuff like this is only going to appeal to very low end folks that can't really afford a good logo anyhow, so this is a cheap alternative for them...it fills a niche...
besides...i had a jot through some of the logo designs..
i don't really think any of us has much to be worried about..
;)all in all, another job well done by eric, shane and crew...
seriously..
don't some of you get tired of being the uber-hip-holier than thou black turtleneck, my design philosphy is better than yours, blah blah blabity blahsweet fancy moses..
get over yourselves..
its a fucking job..and a super fun one at that..
eric and shane are enjoying a modicum of success...be happy for them..i don't know eric at all, but i've been lucky enough to chat with shane from time to time, and can say that he is one hell of an excellent guy.
can't understand for the life of me why ANY of you would want to diss him..ex
