Edit 1. Fixed stroke, alignment of text, text size, and worked to smooth transitions (hopefully in a way that didn't make the pacing too slow).

WOOT!! definitely an improvement than the previous one! because it was visually more appealing on my 1st impression. As for the fonts and background color, after reading your reply, i understand where you are coming from. let's keep it then. but the frames still doesn't really look smooth/fluid. what i meant by "more frames" was this - instead of 20 frames/second, can you make it 40 frames/second? Its like gaming - the more frames, the smoother it looks.
cool! just saw it. Thanks for putting in the extra effort to make a sample. this would definitely help in making a more informed choice!
hmm...lets see...if i have to vote, i vote for this one.
would also like to know what others think and which they are voting for.
Thank you for putting this together! This is great!
