Pretty Loaded is a flash preloader museum curated by Big Spaceship. In their words:

Pretty Loaded is an archive of preloaders that preload other preloaders… which in turn reveal yet more preloaders. Copy that? It’s a tribute to a vanishing art form amid a constantly changing landscape.

The site is quite interesting, with preloaders that date back as far as 2002. Some of them really show their age. Others are quite beautiful and it’s almost a shame this practice is dying… well, maybe that’s a stretch.

Visit www.prettyloaded.com to see the digital goodness, submit a preloader, or download a screensaver.
