A GIF, a PNG, and a JPEG

This GIF comes from http://chameleon.simplebits.com/. It's a GIF but it really could have been a PNG, although I suspect there's more than 8 colors in that logo. The simplicity of the design means that either a GIF or a PNG would be best when it came down to optimizing.




This PNG is from http://powazek.com/
Since it's just a line drawing, a PNG is capable of preserving the right amount of detail. If it was in color using a PNG might depend on how many colors the original file uses. This was used as part of the welcome screen.

This JPEG has a lot of color and detail that would be lost in the other file formats yet it remains a rather small 41.31 kb. It's eye catching and fits the color scheme of the site.
