Hi,
I anyone is feeling creative and wants to take a stab at making a new
animated gif logo for the quicktoots it would be very helpful.
The old one is getting tired and I don't have any ideas for a new one
right now.
Cheers.

One kind person has taken some time to make a logo. This may give
someone else some ideas. I like the direction but I think it could be
taken further.

*Ideally I would like to have an animated logo that fits into the header space so please
keep it in mind while designing. Of course if you don't feel up to doing the
animation but still have a good idea for the static image that is not a problem as we can
always animate it later.

To be honest. Those animated logo's don't do any good. Very irritating
and disturbing, not a good idea IMHO

I appreciate your sentiment but the final version is definitely gonna be
animated.

To be honest, the frontpage of the quicktoots almoste even bad ad the
most brutal advertisement website with all those thing flashing in your
face (...exaggeration...) .
Ok, your content is far from 'brutal' ;), but it is the same when its
comes to irritating flash/ animated/ moving things. Anyone specialist
would say this is a bad thing to do on a website, unless you want to
earn quick money and put some animated nude woman in your website... :/
I like the idea of the website! :) , but when it comes to the logo, I
only see disadvantages of (to much) animated stuff there.

Same here. I have a hard time to take someone who suggests an animated
logo for such a site seriously at all. In fact, I don't.

users then I would not even go near an animated logo.
An animated logo is simply another way to display movement, action and
the concept of multimedia. If you look at the rest of the content there
it is trying to provide a lot of visual context and we even have a
couple of videos now.
I would expect that the majority of people round here wouldn't even need
to read a quicktoot most of us are more than capable of figuring out how
to do things on our own.
But feel free to hate. It seems to be a bit of a theme these days anyway...

As somebody who's looked into web usability and such studies - visitors
almost always automatically consider animated images ads, and ignore them.

Ahhh Grasshopper. Ignore them they may try. Exposure to same thing
