I think that the new Umbrati image is the old one overlaid with a TV test card:

FWIW stegdetect is negative on this one. The previous 'Home' was about 20k larger... with 10k fewer unique colors.

H003: What now?
A005: Security services says they don't have the resources to ensure the safety of the launch.
H003: I really don't need to hear this right now. Launch is in two days. What do we pay them for?
A005: They want to discuss our contract. Their terms don't seem very open to negotiation.
H003: How much more?
A005: Double the yearly rate, three year contract minimum.
H003: Oh, now you're really joking. We're already 300 million over budget on CSAT. What if we refuse?
A005: They can't guarantee the safety of the launch.
H003: We're in no position to commit to that at this point. Tell them to do what we pay them for, and we'll talk about it after launch.
A005: You think it's worth the risk?
H003: They don't give me much choice. If they'd do the damn job it wouldn't be a problem, now would it? "Best security services on Earth" my ass. Morons can't even keep our websites safe.
A005: OK then, I'll let them know.
H003: And tell Kevin to go over the sites again. Errors keep streaming in; it's making us look terrible. We haven't had a new recruit in weeks.
A005: Fine.

The Umbrati image has changed again. Stagdtect didn't find anything, but the smaller image on the right looks like it might be important.

The image on the right looks to me like some sort of bar code. Similar to a QR or Aztec code. I am at work and dont have the tools available to check the theory. Also I am certain everyone else noticed this as well, but the image on the left contains the same Sprocket/Wheel image that has been popping up from time to time. Most notably on the Stock of the gun.

Seems to me that that's the GraueMacht logo. It's on their site, and the codewheels too.

I'm reasonably certain the image on the right is a data matrix. My understanding is that they are usually black and white, but I found something interesting on this site: http://www.libdmtx.org/screenshots.php Check out the Oct '06/Jul '07 screenshots. Based on that information, I'm wondering if we should try splitting up the RGB channels, then feed them into a reader. If I were on a Windows machine, I'd grab one of the readers from here: http://www.intelcom.ru/2d/english/demo.php

GraueMacht site

I don't know if this matters or not but the "US Division" of GraueMacht Security Services is at the Space Needle. Are there offices in the space needle or surrounding area?

It most likely doesnt mean anything. Most of the addresses used so far have been for Landmarks.

I have done so Smile
Just reduced the image to 2 colors (black and white) and used one of the readers and that's the hidden message:

[UPDATE] Ok, there are really codes behind RGB.
