IMO a lot of them have a very hard to see "name" & ".com" as it almost fades into the background.

I think they are meant to be understated and not look too much like an advert.

IIRC some of the comments on the gmail forums where the image came from suggest that the design might make it harder for certain bots to read and collect them for spamming purposes too.

The original design is a PSD file ... The images I'm converting them to are jpgs, no layers ;)

Good point, that would explain a lot.

I think they look really cool. I'm totally sad. I know GMail weren't responsible for the images, but perhaps they should look at some sort of script to generate one whenever an account is created.

The whole GMail thing seems to be taking the net by storm. By doing the 'invites' thing initially, under the supposed cover of it being a beta, they have added a sort of exclusivity to it which seems to have created a massive 'desire' in people which probably would not have been so great if they had just gone ahead with standard trials and then a launch.

Add to that the fact that the actual product is superb.....and what we are witnessing is internet marketing at its very best. Just sit back and look at the sheer number of people on the net as a whole who are desperate for a GMail address. That's some marketing achievement, especially given the saturation of existing free webmail services.

Better still, people are now desperate to carry the GMail logo in their sigs, on the websites, etc...all FREE advertising! And Google didn't even have to design or pay for the adverts, nor even ask for them, the users did it all off their own back! Incredible when you analyse it!

Just as well, otherwise you poor impoverished PC users wouldn't be able to open them without some fancy graphics package installed. Us switched-on Mac addicts, on the other hand, enjoy native support of PSD format :D

Which reminds me, I simply couldn't get that little 300k file to open in PS 6 on my work PC (512MB RAM). It said there wasn't enough RAM! PS 7 on my Mac at home (640MB RAM) opened without a second thought. Wassup?! :confused:
