CoolP, you know that napkin with the idea of the first HX logo is an important memorabilia that should be framed and hang to your office wall. Hope you have it.

great! Fascinating how we can actually track back and see how far the site has come about and the early concepts of it. Coolp you really have become an entrepreneur. Thanks for sharing...

Damn, Haitixchange have come a long way....7 years and still going on strong....

Tetcoq, I have a folder with all of this stuff in it. I was just cleaning up and found all this stuff I forgot about (even the napkin), including the video from TNH which I had actually never taken a look at before. I thought it would be nice to share all of this with everyone.

I can't wait to see them.

Amazing...

I really like the "X" in the logo from May 2001. The palm trees clearly being shown i think add the essence of the " pye kokoye/palmiste" that we are all so used to. Coolp, i know the state of mind is to go forward and evolve but any chance of using the old "X" from 2001?
