I've always wondered this, why isn't there a "Mid East" and how come the "midwest" is mostly directly over the "southeast"?

Since the original Euro settlements were all on the east coast, the 'midwest' was considered the west until they actually got all the way west. So they added 'mid' to differentiate it a bit.

It's a fricking logo, for Christ's sake.


This, I don't know why people are in an uproar over it. If you are using this as your reason to not watch the olympics go for it. It's going to be a lot shittier than a flag logo, i can promise you that.

The USA flag has patents and regulations for its use. Any changes aren't allowed. What is wrong with these people? They truly are not Americans. They are posing as countrymen.

It's illegal to use the flag in commercial logos or on athletic uniforms. What you are suggesting is disrespect. That's why designers make logos and graphics that suggest the flag, but that are not actually the flag. Idiot.

quote:

4 U.S. Code §8.Respect for flag

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

(a)The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

(b)The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.

(c)The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.

(d)The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

(e)The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.

(f)The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.

(g)The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

(h)The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.

(i)The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

(j)No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

(k)The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

I agree with him, we have real battles to fight, I don't want to hyperventilate because some design firm probably decided the full flag was too busy for the modern logo
In this political climate, that's your guess as to the redesign???

Stop trying to make up excuses for bending the knee. America is under attack and any capitulation encourages more attacks
