Just think of all the crappy projects out there that are proudly displaying the MWM logo. I remember one of the first projects I did in college and it was pretty lame!
Someone mentioned how most clients don't care about other logos and everything; We had a client upset because an alert box (in a web-based course) said Microsoft Internet Exporer on the title bar. Give me a break!

But without that logo presence, no one would know it, because the message would never have been sent five years ago. I've never had a client object to the MWM logo on the packaging. But then I'm the guy who keeps talking them out of autorun as well, and who insists on making xplat versions of everything (which is good because so far EVERY CLIENT has asked for a Mac version eventually, despite insisting up front no Mac version would ever be needed). It's anecdotal, of course, but so is everyone else's account about client stories re objecting to this or wanting that. End of the day, Macromedia became "the" toolmaker at least in part because they put their logo on everything, letting everyone know how that particular cool thing came into existence. I doubt you are going to unseat that reality from their licensing folks' minds. Cause and effect are very powerful teachers. -- Warren Ockrassa | http://www.nightwares.com/ Director help | Free files | Sample chapters | Freelance | Consulting Author | Director 8.5 Shockwave Studio: A Beginner's Guide Published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill http://www.osborne.com/indexes/beginners_guides.shtml [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
