It was first released by PC Magazine. Go to http://www.zdnet.com and do a search for LogoMania . The search results will give you a couple articles about the program and a link for the program in the Downloads section. Karl McMurdo's XRX Logo Utility is really worth trying. It lets you animate ALL colors, or select just a few - and it has a low registration fee of $10.00. I registered his program at first to have that super screensaver of his running my animated screens. Check his site for sample startup screens and links to his programs. http://www.nucleus.com/~kmcmurdo/logos/ You will find full screen animated start up screens by Lesa Motz in the Holiday listings. USA is only 17K, a quick download. Another cool effect is Christmas Winter, 81K, by Roberto Zingales. Personally, I like animating 256 color fractals.
