      - The 'whoa' was to the tweet subject itself, not the video (I wasn't clear) -- (edited) - ty97 Aug 4, 07:58

    - the protrusion on the left makes it harder. -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 07:52 4
      - Yeah. It took a minute but I see it. It's odd and not clear when you first look at it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 4, 07:54 3
        
        My spoiler below stands - Spawn Aug 4, 07:55 2

- i can see it when i look for it. but that's not at all the way my eye naturally reads that. - Andie Aug 4, 07:46 7
  - Exactly what I thought. My feedback was that the logo has potential, but it needs to be more visually apparent. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 07:47 5
    - agreed -- nm - JaxSean Aug 4, 08:20
    - it looks like an evil pokemon character to me -- nm - decline Aug 4, 08:09
    - Honestly, if the left hand side was just completing the circle w/o the thing sticking out - oblique Aug 4, 07:48 2
      - The basket not being a comma would help too. -- nm - Ender Aug 4, 07:51 1
        
        yeah, it's less an issue if you cover up the left side with your hand. the balloon image comes through pretty clear then - oblique Aug 4, 07:52
  - spoil thoughts -- (edited) - Spawn Aug 4, 07:47
- Amy's met with the consultant and she was NOT impressed. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 07:46

Based on feedback from last year about running SuperFeud concurrently with Blood Feud, I will go before or after the latter this year. - Name Withheld by Request Aug 4, 07:37 5

  - Is this draft also offline? -- nm - Krusty Aug 4, 08:01 1
    - It is. We use a thread in the Blood Feud Boards. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 4, 08:33
- a certain # of days after, lion's share sounds Caveman dependent - lets not be that -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 07:39 1

Pippy do they know - ty97 Aug 4, 07:33 2
- They don't know - I bet the cops know now though. I'd think, and I'm speculating - the notes indicate it was going to be him - Epiphany Aug 4, 07:35
- When I read it I assumed it was him, or why say sorry? -- nm - Bacon Aug 4, 07:34
Did Liam Gallagher do something or was his set cut short by weather like Lorde's was? -- nm* - rollo Aug 4, 07:32 5
- begged off saying he'd shot his voice at a club date the night before. -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 07:36 4
  - I see... that could become a real problem. EVERY lolla act is playing an "aftershow" the night before they play lolla this year, it seems. -- nm - rollo Aug 4, 07:39 3
    - Yeah, but Liam's old and/or doesn't take care of himself. -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 07:53
    - But don't singers often perform consecutive nights while on tour? -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 07:43 1
      - yes but the "aftershows" start late and the lolla sets are early -- nm - rollo Aug 4, 07:52
Be my focus group: This is a proposed logo. Does it suggest anything to you? Is it depicting a real-world object, would you say; or a concept? -- (pic) - mara Aug 4, 07:32 [Attachment] 27

- Oops, meant to post as a reply. Spoiler answer above. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 07:45 2
  - I see it after you say it. The left hand side with the protrusion, etc. throw off the image making it harder to identify at a glance w/o the - oblique Aug 4, 07:47 1
    - Negative space should... not be used like that. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 07:48
- evil, pure unadulterated evil -- nm - decline Aug 4, 07:42
