Extreme Makeover – The Student Loan Corp. Edition

The Student Loan Corporation is pretty good about employee appreciation. They put on about 6,very nice,internal events a year that differ in themes. There’s always a holiday party around Christmas time but throughout the rest of the year they mix it up with events like an Olympic-themed series of games,a Casino Night,Spring Break,etc. Pictures from these events get posted to the Internal Events page of the intranet. A screenshot of that page is below:

What you can’t tell from that picture is that most of the images are animated gifs. Between all the movement and the differing,non-matching,background colors,I go into convulsions everytime I see this page. When it was time this week to post the latest round of pictures,I couldn’t take it anymore. It was time to spruce things up a little so I took an hour or so to do some spring “cleaning”:

Now each event is linked to by a ‘polaroid snapshop’ of an icon representing it rather than a dancing turkey or swinging medal. I like its cleaner,more professional look. What do you think?
