Before this thread I had no clue what SitePal was. I went to your site and now see what all the talk is about. I really have nothing against it in general. But looking at what your site is about - a serious subject (perhaps even sacred to some), I think the animated cartoon takes away from your message. While I'm not a "believer" in what your website promotes, I know that if I was, I would consider an animated icon somewhat contrary to the entire concept. You touch on a subject that is probably cathartic to those who may decide to use it. I would just ask if an animated talking head is the best way to deliver what you're trying too say. Best of luck in your endeavor. (in reply to pcguy)

For modern day people it's a dark style, but for them it was beautiful and stately. It can be argued that the current conception was fueled by its use in Nazi propaganda. The style was long forgotten until Germans adapted it and brought it back to knowledge of the mainstream population. Many computer games today use blackletter to invoke a World War II mood�think Wolfenstein, Day of Defeat etc. Design-wise, using blackletter or fraktur in something like the Angel's Message is like using a beautiful and delicate script typeface on a website about Ted Bundy. I had to give some reasons to my critique�saying only that a certain font is a bad choice isn't always enough. (in reply to Andy from Somerset)
