This identity marks Sean's official foray into the dev blogosphere. Sean's got a ton of great tricks and knowledge in that nog of his and he's finally gonna start voicing it.
Thanks to Trent Walton, Dan Mall, Dan Rubin and Brian Hoff for taking a gander at this and offering advice.

Dan, I think that's sorta part of it. It needs a very retro transistor old world radio feel. Many of Sean's inspirations were very stale technical papers, diagrams, metallic labels on radio's etc. We tried different routes of giving the radio a bit more wonkiness, but in the end Sean loved this very traditional radio.
Dig it, although something about how the cord fades out seems out of wack with the rest of the style, especially since the antenna carries on outside the circle. </2cents>
Matthew, thanks bro! And yes, congrats to Sean. I'm proud of this work we've explored and found together and can't wait to see what it looks like on his site.

Nice! Something bothers me though with the radio antenna going outside the bubble. Not sure exactly what it be.

Yeah, that may bother some Chris. I really like it, but I've provided an alternate for Sean if that is the case. Thanks for letting me know!

Yeah, I almost think it would work with the antenna being retracted but at the same angle.

Maybe the URL can be moved about 5-8 pixels down. That's just me. Overall it looks good

I really do love this. I like the antenna out of the bubble.
But part of me feels like the radio is soul-less.

@Dan Everyone knows radios have no soul. That's why this is a perfect embodiment of Sean. He loves Nascar, which means he has no soul.

LOL, that's probably the funniest thing I've seen Chris say online. Let's hope Sean's not reading. He DOES have an account on Dribbble.

Phil, think it should just cutoff at the circle? Perhaps just have a cord? Ooh, or maybe an outlet?

I'd say cutoff at the circle. Adding an outlet seems like it would distract the viewer.

It would be cool if the cord went outside the circle and plugged into an outlet.

cooooool.

Or just lose the cord?
It's great though.

Yeah, Birdy, Sean can nix it if he'd like. I really like something about a trailing cord. Don't know why. :)

I like the cord also, it acts as an anchor for the radio.
