Any chance you could put the pictures up without the FG logo in the corners.

I love the site but the logo, to me, kind of messes up the serenity of the picture, but then again maybe I am the only one that thinks this way?

YES!!!

But I think the point of having a Flying Giants scren saver is to actually have the Flyinggiants represented on it.
