The word over at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/" target="_blank">Engadget</a> is that Verizon Wireless may be getting a visual make-over shortly. I, for one think it's long overdue. I really never liked the logo.. it looked dated when it was introduced and the line work has always looked awkward.</p><p>Good Riddance.</p>

<div style="text-align: left;">Working with our partner company <a href="http://www.stoweconsulting.com">Stowe Consulting</a>, we've just completed work on the new home for <a href="http://g2microsystems.com" target="_blank">G2 Microsystems Inc</a>. They're an Austrailian-based manufacturer of ultra low-power wifi chipsets. We used a persistent site map navigation style in the footer of the sub pages which is a bit different than you're likely to find elsewhere.. This was done in part for simplicity, and in part to offer an alternative to the Flash-based primary navigation scheme.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Enjoy!</div>]]>

After weighing in all of the pros and cons, a finalist has been selected. The PhlooQ team and the web community really gravitated towards the open, approachable look and feel of the widget above. Everyone found the "maybe state" a welcomed addition and also emphasized a strong desire for natural looking hands in lieu digital versions. We're happy with the overall direction.<br><br> Next on the agenda, redesigning the website.
