Dear Readers,

Thank you for visiting "All Or Nothing" it has been my pleasure to write the last seven
years of what I think is a fascinating world...River's Edge. In the summer of 2001 I was
soon-to-be junior in high school who loved to write. I often look back at my life at that
time and realize that AON came to me when I needed it the most. It came to me when I
needed an world that was my escape. The characters provided me with a world that as
I've said before is like no other.

All Or Nothing has given me so much more than I ever thought possible. It was through
this venue that I met one of my very best friends who I talked to just this morning. I have
in the past slipped away from this world, but it has always remained close to my heart.
Thank you for joining me on this share and please enjoy our anniversary celebration.
Anniversary Special
Cause I want it all or nothing at all

It was the summer that saw O-Town's single "All Or Nothing"
hit radio airwaves and it would be the summer that an online
drama series of the same name hit the Internet waves.

August 9, 2001 the first episode of AON was published by
series creator Josh Hawkins. AON is proud to celebrate nine
years since its creation and seven years of production.

As we do in each episode, we invite you to step to the edge
and leap...celebrate our anniversary as we look back at our
past.

(Yelling) Melissa did you finish that article yet about Phillip Bradshaw?


Melissa
(Running to the Door) Jonathan I set it on top of your desk an hour and half ago. See it?


Jonathan
Yeah I found it.


Melissa
Great let me know what you think.


Jonathan
All right. (He begins to read to himself) “Bradshaw not to seek Re-Election.” Never thought I would see this day coming. (He
scans down the page) “With Mayor Bradshaw not seeking re-election, it is likely that his son, Andrew, will succeed him as the
next mayor.

All Or Nothing - Debut Logo 2001

The series premiere logo was designed by Bree Perry who at the time wrote "Come Nightfall." It was also Bree who helped name
the series back in the summer of 2001.

The logo featured baby blue writing and an exterior country club shot since in the original pilot a scene with Pamela, Natasha and
Jodi took place in the country club.

The logo featured the following characters: Jodi Bradshaw, Jered Bradshaw, Dr. Bradley Marshall, Brandi Brashears and Andrew
Bradshaw.

Also in the logo was soap actress Lauralee Bell who originally was slated to be Natasha in the early drafts of the series. That as
readers know changed...
September/October 2001 Logo

By September 2001, roughly three weeks after AON debuted the logo had been changed. Also designed by Perry these set of
logos which were in rotation until later 2002 features tuxedo wearing Andrew Bradshaw and Natasha Garrett Bradshaw this time
represented by Melody Thomas Scott.

The dark blue background also coincide with the first major redesign of the AON website then hosted by GeoCities. Originally
white the color of the site went to a dark blue. Throughout the first run of the series (2001-2006) this would be palette of the site.
In 2009, when the series returned from cancellation the site adopted a deep macaroon red.

Also in the logo was the first skyline of the series to be shown. The skyline displayed was Houston. Eagle eye readers will now
notice that the River's Edge skyline is represented by Tulsa, Oklahoma.
2002 - Early 2003

This logo also featured Andrew Bradshaw and Natasha Garrett Bradshaw with a the same dark blue background. The picture
was found during a random online search for locations in River's Edge. This was the first logo created by series creator Josh
Hawkins. This was the last main logo to feature character images.
Early 2003 - 2005

The combination of an red-orange sunset over the water and a lighthouse captured the essence of what AON had become. The
logo combined what at the time was a new era of the series. Designed also by the series creator the words "an online drama
series" also appeared in versions of the logo. The backdrop also served as character title cards for the first opening credits of the
drama series.
2005

Some work and some don't! This logo had a short shelf life and is by far the least favorite. The logo was developed during the
"Tan Promo" for the Opening Credits. It appeared only for a short time before being replaced.
2005 - 2006

The logo that saw Jered's death, Brandi's confession and the end of the first run of AON. The lighthouse featured logo had the
series title scrawled into the backdrop. It was simple, elegant and fit beautifully with the baby blue palette that the website had
become.
2009 - Present

The current logo designed by a poster at one of the online soap opera boards features a combination of Michelle Stafford's walk
in the "The Young and the Restless" opening credits and a lighthouse. A fine red cursive font complements the design and
captures the return of the series, "back to the edge."
