To tell you the truth I don't like it.

People need to start learning how to optimize banners. If you're gonna design a banner with that much animation go flash. No one wants to wait for a 1mb gif banner to load. When designing gif banners keep it under atleast 5 frames.

Here's what you can do to optimize it like crazy:

- Don't make the logo scroll as smoothly as it does, cut some frames off. This will make the logo go faster yes but it'll probably cut off atleast 30% of the size.
- Lose the fading for "The Body Farm" and "myspace.com/thebodyfarmma" and make them 1 frame each.
- When exporting considering how many shades of grey there are I'd say go less than 128 colors.

The banner looks cool, I'm not trying to bash, this is merely to help you design a more effective banner. When you're done I'm guessing you'll have no less than 15 frames. It's still alot of frames but it's better than the 200+ frames I'm guessing are in that banner already.
