but seriously folks..
whats with the not respecting 2A?
is it cause all the run they get?
i've never understood that
- cloned0
i dont get it either i think its cool as hell

you know, my take on 2a has always been similar to people that love a band until they become popular, then they hate it.
sure, there's a "shove it down your throat" aspect, but that's not something that can be blamed on the band.

yeah, ive been a fan since they were on geo cities, when that shit was RAW!
meh, i guess this thread wasnt really about them anyhoo.

you know those old movies, like Back to the Future etc, where certain scenes are set 'in the future' and like, its the year 2020, and things are portrayed as Silver and Metalic and 'futureristic' ?
thats what I think of when i look at 2advanced and their work.

when i first got into web design i too thought that 2a was the shiznit... this was when they had their classic blue website (the one before their current one)
and to say i don't respect them is a lie, because i do respect the fact that they're still alive, kickin and doing well... when so many [good] design shops over the years have fallen by the wayside.
but visually, i think that the work they produce is uninspired, bloated, crap. there are some exceptions, and by all means every one of their works have been very very well excecuted... but great excecution doesn't save a shite idea/design.
i wish 2a would surprise me. you'd think they'd have it in them, wouldn't you?

nick not everyone wants a tree and leaves on their tshirt your stuff is nice and there is a place for it but i wouldnt wear it i want the future now 2a makes me feel like were actually getting to the places they promised my dad in the 60s
