New or Old logo?

[yanpa]

The plan, insomuch as there is a plan, is to resurrect a design resembling the old FG design/colouring, including above logo. It works, it's recognisable and it's simplest for me (the volunteer Über-Janitor) to implement.

We can look at new designs/logos etc. at a later point once the basics are smoothed out. The designs/suggestions/offers of help above are much appreciated, mind

Is that a list of the most recently active topics, or is there some more complex algorithemery behind it (most comments in the last xx hours etc.)?

Personally, I think this old logo variation by Ultra is good because in Japanese offices it obfuscates the meaning for Japanese coworkers.

Obfuscation is good. I'll think on those dimensions the next few days and see if I can think of anything more Japanesy.

My coworkers always have a good chortle when they spot this favicon in my broswer's bookmarks toolbar.

I guess I should change it, but all the ladies titter, "it's so you" (に合うですね).

Wasn't "不良外人" in the old FG HTMl title? The inforumer cache is mojibaked, but I guess that was it.

不良外人is not really accurate. I'm certainly not 不良(except when it's used in the sense of "defect")

キチ外人 strikes me as a better choice...

キチ外人 strikes me as a better choice...

Hmmm, キチ外人...That took me several moments to read it as kichigai jin (crazy person) rather than kichi gaijin (kitchen-ish foreigner).

Could also be 吉 (lucky), 基地（military base)貴地（honorable ground)奇知（brilliant <mind>)...as well as all sorts of other shite.

Oh, how lucky we are to have a language that has four different typographical styles (one for each season?)
We gaijin can simply never truly understand kotodama and how it binds the Yamato race to the land it inhabits (and contaminates with radiation, concretes over, repeatedly pollutes with all sorts of toxins and noise, blah, blah, blah...) and bestows upon the Japanese a special and unique bond with nature....
