The Adobe acquisition of Macromedia seems like it was ages ago so I had kind of forgotten about it, but I notice today on the Macromedia site the re branding has begun. I quite like the white (Adobe) to dark blue grey (Macromedia) gradient background they have added to the site, it runs top to bottom so I presume this is a metaphor for change. It's weird to see the Adobe logo at the top of macromedia.com having visited on a regular basis for years, hope the good folks in macromedia don't lose out in all this. Acquisitions can be a cruel business, Freehand has already been marked as superfluous to needs, still the combined entities could come up with the definitive suite of tools for developers and more.
