Logo and GUI update
I have updated the logo on RUNNINGMAP with a modified design. I replaced the typeface first of all. I was inspired by Gotham Rounded and Bryant but ultimately went with VAG Rounded (Hoefler & Frere-Jones EULA says that the type can only be embedded as a bitmap in Flash, no vectors … that is too restrictive). I also thinned the legs of the “runner” mark partly because it looks like a more lean runner but mostly because Michael Surtees told me to. That was free advice I assume 
Also new on RUNNINGMAP are a few new GUI components. The “zoom slider” replaces the plus and minus zoom buttons. I have had several aborted attempts at designing this feature and I am quite happy with the results. It works well and looks very different to the standard google or yahoo! zoom control. Three buttons that controlled the map view were replaced by one combo pull down control, which is skinned to nicely integrate into the control bar.
