No way. My aversion to black on light gray is that back in the dark ages of the web, when Mosaic was the graphical browser of choice and Netscape was a new kid on the block, any web page that didn't specify a background color got light gray. (I believe the default is still *usually* this.) Consequently, any black-on-light-gray web page out there *still* registers in my brain as a non-professional job. A web page created by people who wanted to throw up some info and not care about things like presentation. Not the message I want to convey.

The second reason is that the various RinkWorks logos don't have the transparent color in the images where the background should show through, but actually have hard wired white, so it would take forever to change the background color on all the logo images.

The third reason is that the RinkWorks logo on white, while not planned to be so, is too gloriously patriotic to be changed to any other color scheme.
