I really, really like the logo. Most companies today don't go through the effort of coming up with a good one (or with one at all), but yours does it's job very well. But yeah, the fade effect ought to go; Would be nice if it only happens the first time you go to the page (ie. when a session is initiated or the visitor comes from a referrer like google).

Thanks :) My good friend, Arash Asghari designed this logo. and yes, I'll fix the fading thing.

Most people here seem to miss the fact that these guys are operating from Tehran, instead chose to complain about lack of IE support, transition or generic headline. Fuck you, fuck IE. I particularly like the fuck IE stance. You have every right to do so on your site.

Good work guys, keep it up.

All I get is: INTERNET EXPLORER? SERIOUSLY? Please come back with a modern browser. ummm.... No. (could you be any more condescending or hipster or alienating?)

I like this. It has nothing to do with hipstery. If you don't want clientele with IE, this is perfectly acceptable.

since IE 8 doesn't understand ANYTHING, I had to do this. The whole website is made using CSS3.

You did good, fuck IE and users who use them. Education by force. It could be good to show alternatives, and leave it at there. For the "enterprise" that can't change, well they can complain.

Fine. But why sound like such a dick? How about "We're really sorry but this website only works with...." ? or whatever. With that kind of attitude, I can absolutely promise you I am NOT going to copy-paste this url into chrome or FF.

Am just trying to help. If you think that language is fine, go with it.

I like the design, and good luck with your company! I couldn't help but notice the arabic on the page, so I Was wondering if you have seen the programming language قلب already. I love how you can stretch the arabic letters to do code formatting (makes me jealous that our alphabet is so limited when it comes to caligraphy/formatting).

Seriously, arabic rocks for programming: * same reading direction as numerals (Heck, numerals ARE arabic) * code alignment by extending words (WOAH) * DUDE, IT'S ARABIC

So yes. I'm now gonna learn arabic just for programming. -hipster glasses-

قلب - http://qlblang.org/

P.S. : I couldn't help but notice that the designer of قلب pronounces قلب as alb. Whilst I'd expect it to be pronounced "qalb". Is this some dialect?
