The second one looks WAY to corporate to me. I know we've been moving toward making Gaim feel more professional, but I think IM clients are pretty personal, and Gaim will stand out more if it's a bit more bold (like the purple wavy arm man) and a bit less boring ...no offense to either artist. I'm sure the Tango guy could whip up something that is bold, pretty and friendly, but also has some character. -Mark |
