I can't read the Canon, Panasonic, Fujitsu, and Seiko logos.

Thanks all. I appreciate the reassurance that from an information design stand-point I am right.
This is what happens when CEO's act as CD's.

let it go, do as your told. You'll just look like a whinny bitch if you argue anymore.
P.S.
I agree with your design decisions

In the end, he's the boss so make it work.

- that's looks 100x worse.section_014
- 10000x worse. Nothing like a sidebar surpassing the length of the actual content on the page. FAILbrains

And does he like version 2 better?
- seed0
The first version is much better. The logos are easier to read than the text. The text and repetitive boxes are distracting. Plus having to scroll that far past the content to read them.

Any suggestions on how to treat this better? The unfortunate thing is that this is what he wants. The knocked out type, and the logos. I'm okay with getting it done for being done's sake, but I'd hate to ever link someone to this site in the future, and have them ask, "WTF did you do that for in the right sidebar? That's atrocious."
- Maybe if you told him it looks better on the bottom of the page, like a footer?OhYeah

No one will scroll down and look at those ever. Ever. Thereby guaranteeing failure for the very purpose it seeks to serve. What design clown college spawned this knuckledouche you work for?

He's not even a designer. Not is he a developer.
He used to own a furniture company. Then he decided he knew the right way to run a marketing firm. Most of the work we do here is great, but the greater majority of it is print. They have recently (read: back in October) decided they needed to step up their interactive initiatives for their clients. They then hired an Interactive Manager who quit in March (go figure?), and he hired me about two weeks before he quit. Now that the Interactive Manager has quit, it falls back on the CEO to be my direct supervisor of course. Fail.
So, that gives you a better perspective on what I have to deal with day in and out. He's a great person, but he is definitely not meant to manage interactive work.

"He used to own a furniture company."
Fucking classic.

maybe you should just put checkmarks beside the logos? Seems to be the only place on the page where there aren't any..
- Sounds to me like a proper solution as well. I have a feeling at this point it'd be moot.noRBG
- maybe the company name shows up on rollover as well as the image enlarges...neue75_bold
- blinks a bit...neue75_bold
- morphs into a unicorn..neue75_bold

I'm not discrediting your ideas at all neue75_bold, I just think that at this point nothing will satisfy him except what he sees in his head. I recommended previously doing a Flash piece in that area, where say, half of the logos were shown initially, and they would fade-through all the rest, and loop. That got shot down, because, "People will come to the site, look for the company they need repair for, and if they don't see it immediately, they will leave."

wont deep linkage work?
