Maybe we shouldn't move on until it's where one logo doesn't just squeek by but curshes everything else.

I actually think that's a good idea. Not sure if others would agree though (I doubt Control Cop would, for example).

You mutha...

As I mentioned before, I came in fresh with the GF/Stout Logo War. That original voting thread went to shite, which I found to be frustrating since this seemed like such a simple concept. Pick canidates and vote. B.A. volunteered to start a new, clean and concise thread, and I am just supporting him and the goal of simplicity.

The pre-existing mess seem's to have soured some, which I now understand. What I don't understand is what more do you guys want? Coke and Freaux? Are you not happy with the logo choices? Are there other logo's that were ignored that should be considered? And why am I spending valuable work time debating this topic like this is the fricking Geneva Convention?

Anything I say from now on is kind of soured by my initial over reaction, so I'll let other, less affected people debate this.

But I will answer this: Because we are a bunch of overly critical, overly dramatic movie nerds.

Black and White. HAL's eye, there's a lot of good things that the logo could mean. Something deeper, like Wild Strawberries. That's how a board dedicated to people dissecting film and television should treat it. (Overly dramatic associations to Bergman added for effect).

That's why people are a little more passionate around here.

PS: Again, I apologize. I've also had a supremely shitty start to my week. So there's that.

a general consensus and agreement on a new logo. a logo winning by 2-4 votes is greater than 50%, but not a consensus. About half of the people don't like the logo. By contrast, the Gaming Board logo was liked by over 90% of those who voted. Perhaps a better idea has not been submitted yet that would get more people in agreement.

Also, this is not the first time this has been tried on the Movie/TV Board. and, both times it has turned into a turd sandwich. Last time, the idea was tabled.

But I'm right though, since you later say:

I'm of the opinion that, while the "table it and wait until we find the perfect logo" is a nice theory, it has clearly not worked out that well. So why not go with these two and move forward? Or do we need to vote on whether the logo needs to be changed at all if these are the two options?

Selfishly? I want this one:

I'm not, but this isn't the Cocomo board, it's the Movie/TV board. Like I said, I'll still post here as usual whether or not I think the logo sucks. So in the end, it doesn't really affect me that much. But in reality, it would be nice if most of us could agree on a clean, nice logo for the board instead of one that half the people hate.
