couldn't agree more...

but again if the only place this is going to be used is on the web, then maybe concerns about print work (stationery, biz cards, etc) isn't an issue.

i dont know if i have more of a 'mainstream' style, but i do strongly believe in simplicity, and iconic logos, which can be 'spiced up' later...

it may be somewhat short-sighted to choose to use a logo that is 'flashy' but doesnt translate well to mediums other than the web, but that's a lesson that, in my experience, needs to be learned by each client, in their own time

congrats to jawanda, for giving the client what they were looking for, which after all is all that really matters (or pays =P)
