The RTL logo.
I was wondering what folks thought of the newly released RTL 'logo' (http://mut.unitours.org/rtlpict/logo...ter_Logo1.jpg). I have nothing but respect for Darren (whose design this is), and all the organizers of this race. I do not, however, care for the logo. I would have much preferred something low key to this, which I consider mostly silly. This event feels serious (seriously fun, but still hard-core and serious). 'This logo' (http://mut.unitours.org/rtlpict/logo...ster_Logo1.jpg) just won't cast our race in serious light. IMO. I'd rather have a shirt with the design at the 'top of the RTL website' (http://www.ridethelobster.com/). To the organizers: Please choose a less silly design for the RTL shirt. -- steveyo steveyo ...like having your own personal rollercoaster... - a few 'uni race write-ups' (http://home.nycap.rr.com/rduhan/uni_race_writeups/) - muni and kokopelli uni 't-shirts, mugs and stickers' (http://www.cafepress.com/steveyo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveyo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/67991 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Yeah, fwiw, I agree with all of that. It does make it look like it's a Saturday mornings kids cartoon more than a test of the fittest sportsmen of long distance unicycling.

The designer of that logo clearly forgot the red nose, comedy big shoes and water-squirting flower, but otherwise they have clearly shown their opinion of unicycling. jim -- Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9416 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/67991 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Maybe it's a cultural difference? I found this--I guess a goofy lobster is better than #2: Top 10 Reasons To Live In Nova Scotia 1. The only place in North America to get bombed in the war... by a moron who set a munition ship on fire 2. *Your province is shaped like male genitalia* 3. Everyone is a fiddle player 4. If someone asks if you're a Newfie, you are allowed to kick them 5. The local hero is an insane, fiddle playing, sexual pervert 6. The province that produced Rita MacNeil, the world's largest land mammal 7. You are the reason Anne Murray makes money 8. You can pretend you have Scottish heritage as an excuse to wear a kilt 9. The economy is based on fish, lobster, and fiddle music 10. Even though it smells like dead sea animals, Halifax is considered Canada's most beautiful city -- phlegm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phlegm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8382 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/67991 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Choose your battles wisely, Steveyo. You've only so many calories to expend, and there are many better causes to champion on this planet. C'mon, take unicycling seriously? What next, hard-core juggling? Extreme ironing? Knitting marathons? -- maestro8 Those are my principles.

I don't mind the lobster; it's not what I would do on my own, but it at least looks like a professional graphic, unlike most of what we see on unicycle shirts. I don't like the font much, it's way too crowded. And the space behind the wheel needs to be transparent (background color), not white. -- tholub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tholub's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/804 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/67991 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

What next, hard-core juggling? Extreme ironing? Knitting marathons? Oh, I haven't picked a good battle in months. Yes, IMHO, an 800K unicycle race deserves to be commemorated by an excellent shirt, and not a clowny one. I want to wear this shirt in my later years (I'm already in those?) and make people gasp, not laugh. I need the ego-stroking. Also, I don't care all that much, but c'mon, a silly, cartoony lobster? -- steveyo steveyo ...like having your own personal rollercoaster... - a few 'uni race write-ups' (http://home.nycap.rr.com/rduhan/uni_race_writeups/) - muni and kokopelli uni 't-shirts, mugs and stickers' (http://www.cafepress.com/steveyo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveyo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/67991 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Also, that is one of the most anatomically incorrect lobsters I've ever seen. No legs? When not unicycling does he just drag himself around by his claws or is he able to wobble around on the end of his tail which is somehow also able to pedal? -- Brian O. *'ProjectUNI' (http://www.projectuni.com) - *The First Serious Unicycle Computer Game* - -ProjectUNI update available 'here!'
