Why do you want to see a new tomato site? Are
you looking for some advert work for your
multinational corp? or are you just some
amateur designer (at best) looking for some
new and fashionable design tropes?
hmmm;

as I said, I mean no disrespect to Ant. I just don't understand why one of the biggest electronic bands in the world and one of the most well-know design collectives in the world can't seem to create and maintain a decent webpresence. Instead it get's sort of done as a side job by Ant who obviously doesn't have enough time to do it. All we get is work in progress, coming soon etc. Why even put this stuff online if it's not finished? What's the point if all that's changed is the background colour and extra menu links that say "coming soon"?
You say it yourself: their site is their businesscard. And for Underworld it's a connection to fans and interested people looking for info. And although I'm sure Tomato don't need that site to get their business, it still leaves a bad impression. Personally I'm not interested in their business, but in their work (being a fellow creative type person and
professional (since two weeks) designer, thank you very much
).
Sorry to take this discussion in this direction but I think it has to be said (and obviously I'm not the only one who thinks this way).
