    The New GAP Logo

    I'm with everyone else on the 'why?' front. It's quite a night and day difference isn't it. Maybe the clothes will change to be more 'Super Dry' camo and stuff..... Makes me think back to when BA decided to drop the Union Jack and Virgin said, thanks very much we'll use that. Classic bit...

    Redesigned portfolio site

    Google Fonts API

    That's my point, it would be nice to have a wider range of standard fonts that could be used and relied upon for all browsers/platforms. Obviously there is the whole anti-alias problems with PCs to contend with too. It's all good stuff though.

    fade between webpages

    You should have a look at jquery - you could easily use that to create a page fade-in effect. Be careful though - if someone has javascript turned off, you want to ensure that the 'white-out' div is switched off - otherwise, they'll just get a white screen.
