With all due respect for David Seigel's design expertise and close association with the ERB, I find the choice of this eleventh-hour 'sketch' submission a bit disturbing. As I recall, the unanimous consensus among those who commented on this list was that Suite 1 best represented the concept of style. I fail to perceive the relevance of the chosen design, reminding me as it does of a recent Nicoderm commercial wherein smokers are encouraged to "gradually step down". In any case, I'm unlikely to use this logo on any of my pages. David Perrell
