Re: ECA Hires New Director of Public Relations
Forgive me, Shadow. It completely slipped my mind that the books without the pretty pictures in them confuse you. Gimme just a second and I'll go search for a picture of Captain Kirk putting his hand to his face and then, once I find it, I'll post it. That way, you can follow along just fine.
Re: ECA Hires New Director of Public Relations
Be nice. I only noticed after it was pointed out myself.
Re: ECA Hires New Director of Public Relations
You have no idea how hard I'm trying to be nice. And, if I say so myself, I'm doing a pretty good job. At least I scratched the first response which came to mind. Gimme some credit.
Re: ECA Hires New Director of Public Relations
Hey, Jason, gonna re-vamp the ECA's logo? Can't nobody but those already indoctrinated in the way of the secret handshake figure out what that thing symbolizes.

What the hell are you rambling about this time?

Re: ECA Hires New Director of Public Relations
He's talking about this:
Is it immediately apparent to you that the logo is an "E", "C", and "a"?

Re: ECA Hires New Director of Public Relations
Think back to the very first time you saw it, Andrew. Honestly, was it immediately apparent to you back then?
Re: ECA Hires New Director of Public Relations
No, it wasn't and that was my point. I don't think it's a bad logo but I feel it's a bit too clever for its own good.

Re: ECA Hires New Director of Public Relations
It'd be less confusing, I think, if the "a" was an "A." And if the "E" wasn't so often rendered in white. Against a white backgound, it ends up looking like two legs.
Re: ECA Hires New Director of Public Relations
Welcome abord Mr. Anderson, im sure you'll be a great addition to the ECA.
