    Hold on a sec. You did not initially recognize my logo-header as a "parody" but jumped the gun on it a few posts up when members started to seriously want to consider it as a suitable candidate, and it was then, Invert, upon your first remark of it, that you had to, it seems to me, purposefully knock it out of the ring by discrediting it as an unacceptable full-fledged entry—any mention of it being a parody? why the image of kids? or rather, suddenly, it was my contribution that you instantly broadcasted as "inappropriate", the "wrong look", and that you outright "hated" it—with no questions asked. And then, after you had to explain yourself cuz I asked, then you introduced minimalism as an excuse and the fact that it wasn't minimalistic because you happen to like minimalism even though every other goddamn entry thus presented hadn't been minimalistic at all! So why pick on me to not abide by your criteria of how design should or should not "look"? Let's not mince words around, Invert—as you're prone to doing a little bit too often around me—you did not want it (me) holding court! Or so it seemed to me.
    Blah blah blah blah. :‍roll eyes‍:

    But I did say that. Immediately:
    - - - - - - - -​

    As a matter of fact, I began a preliminary draft on a logo idea I had—a wheel divided in 7; 7 for the seven subcategory forums. But I couldn't fit it in a banner at the time—I got bored with it. Then, later on, I tried working on a banner but nothing much clicked. So later on still I tried sarcasm. Then, after someone suggested using real scientists instead of the kids, and after my spasm of scoffing at the notion of working on another's idea, I calmed down and took a look at the picture submitted and thought hey I can work with that—so I did. However, the whole thing went through several revisions, including the most recent one from this afternoon (you reminded me that I had indeed been toying with the idea of submitting a serious piece for the forum.)

    No, they were meant to be the antithesis of the sage kids—German punks. But I will admit that I compromised these two pieces because I didn't feel like combing the web for the images I really had in mind…

    Why is it that when Gendanken writes, or Satyr, or Xev, or Tiassa, or Lucysnow, or even Dr. Lunatic, their level of expertise—and they do write with skill and command—why is it that they are never degraded as "professionals"? Somehow, "professional" sounds like a species with manicures best kept locked up in a cubicle, only visited during office hours. I detest the word.

    Wrong. I had already read that you weren't serious about it before I ever posted.

    I don't know about 'suddenly'.... I just saw it. Didn't like it. Said so.
    No questions asked? What questions were there to ask?

    First. You didn't ask. You gave me shit saying that I didn't read the thread or whatever and that you weren't serious about your contribution. I then said that I knew you weren't serious but I said I didn't like it anyway.

    And look! Pseud0 liked it... obviously.
    It almost got chosen!

    As to the other contributions being nonminimalistic?
    They seemed pretty minimal to me. Just a simple logo. No flashing lights. No extravagant colors. No pictures. Etc... They were all just simple white logos. Mostly.

    Yours was the one with the photos...

    Uhm. No.
    'Hold court' all you want. Don't let me stop you.

    I know.

    I like that. That's nice. Too bad it's too late.

    The other one is cool too, but I still don't like the photo. Hell, if I had my way, the Earth would go too....

    Well. That's your problem. I called it 'professional' because they did look professional.
    But, they were dicks.
    I wasn't insulting or degrading you.

    Hugs?
     
  9. I was.

    Indeed. It's simple, bears no real relation to what it's supposed to represent, and could have been designed by a two year-old.

    ...or was that not what you meant?
