Re: Webpage intro animation, which one is better?

First, I'm voting neither. I'm opposed to intro animations on the basic grounds that it's just one more thing to get between your audience and your website. I'm of the belief that you want to get them the info they want as quickly, intuitively, clearly, and prettily as possible. In that order. So I only like eye-candy that doesn't get in my way on websites, and I really dislike intro animations cause I'm not going there to see it. To expound even more, look at what FIRST did with their main page. An intro animation, but with all the menu bars and links around it that you need. So you can stare at it if you like, or you can just get where you need to go.

Second, you're misusing the FIRST logo. The usage guidelines specifically state that you're not supposed to modify it or re-interpret it or anything. If you're making a parody of it, you're fine, but I'm pretty sure you're not. Not that FIRST is likely to prosecute you or anything, but the usage guidelines are there and they really should be followed.
