you still use flash 5

No throwing gets done that day at all, just because I had the gall to point out the simple truth that lasses can't throw, it makes you sick, it really does.

I'll say this, it's cool that people think we own sunbeams. Who am I to argue? :)

But yeah... Newgrounds didn't create the sunbeam visual, although the artist who made that image for Microsoft could have been inspired by our logo. Ya never know!

Pfft. You've obviously never read The Bible: NGIV Version

Genisis 1:
In the beginning, Tom created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of Tom was hovering over the waters.

And Tom said, "Let there be light," and there was light. Tom saw that the light was good, and he seperated the light from the darkness. Tom called the light "sunbeam visuals" and the dark "null space." And there was eveing, and there was morning-the first day.

It's a good book, although a tad blasphemous at points.

Nah there's only so many colours to make sunbeams, either yellow and dark yellow or dark yellow and orange... like newgrounds.

I'd say coincidence.

Oh dear god! It is in the same color, it is in the same shape (almost), it has the same basic concept, I can see why you may think that they stole it from NG. Although it may be true that it was effected by the NG logo, I am pretty sure you cannot say that they stole it from the NG logo. The background which surrounds the NG tank is not something that NG made, it was a think which was made a long time before in diferent logos. This style of background for a logo isn;t something which only NG uses. However, by the color and the basic shape, it realy looks similar to the NG logo, so I am really not sure...
