DU LOUNGE needs it's own logo & mascot

[mzteris]

That's what I think.

Okay clever, talented people - any suggestions?

[matcom]

1. ...

[mzteris]

3. cute dog -

but maybe a pitbull would be more appropriate for us, don't you?

:rofl:

[matcom]

4. wasn't suggesting the dog

that is a vodka & tonic in the foreground :D

[mzteris]

5. Oh, I shoulda known -

but then again, given the pups - er - posture - and knowing YOU - I just thought - oh nevermind.

After reading through some of the posts in the Lounge just now - maybe we need a logo that includes something like this:

[matcom]

6. actually the logo should be my avatar

:D

[mzteris]

9. which one?

The vodka or the flames?

You flamebait you.

[Richard Steele]

8. "Zombie Pug can mix simple cocktails. He awaits your command." nm

[TommyO]

53. Make it a Tanqueray 10 and Tonic and you have a deal!

[Ptah]

2. never mind

[mzteris]

7. oh come on -

don't let Matcom intimidate you!!

Or was "never mind" the motto you had in mind?

:rofl:

[anarch]

10. I think

[SPKrazy]

11. A flaming olive garden

:rofl:

with a pit bull outside watching it

and a breastfeeding mother, with kids on roller shoes, all smoking cigarettes.

What else? :silly:

:hi:

[mzteris]

12. you forgot

the cornflake fried chicken and the DOWN WITH VEGETARIANS sign.

Seriously,

I'd LOVE a DU LOUNGE bumpersticker and/or tshirt. We're a world unto ourselves.


Like - Do yoU Lounge?

(ok that's dumb) - but you get the idea.

[SPKrazy]

15. That's not dumb

that's pretty good

:rofl:

i get the idea

it would be cool

we are our own world

:D

[mzteris]

22. all together now

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me


(Don't forget to sway. To the right first . . .)

[SPKrazy]

25. ...

:spray:

damn you mzteris

my laptop already has had ants climbing in it this year.

now it is going to be wet :grr:

:rofl:

we are the world, we are the children....


:rofl:


:hug:


:loveya:

:yourock: too funny!

[mzteris]

34. oops - sorry

SPK -

Here, will this help?

[SPKrazy]

39. well, it might

once i get the keys off :silly:

[mzteris]

50. Maybe this will help

Or this?

[SPKrazy]

65. yuppers

this should work!


:rofl:


;)

[TommyO]

54. Damn, I'm going to have that song in my head all day now!

Does somebody have any mental cleanser that I can use?

[mzteris]

55. ooops - sorry

for the earworm.

Try thinking of something else - like -

I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug
and a kiss from me to you
won't you say you love me, too.




Hope that helps!!!

:rofl:


:hi:

[JackBeck]

13. ...

[mzteris]

20. ugh - I'm not too

crazy about the Simpsons....

maybe something/one a tad more intelligent? :P

[JackBeck]

40. Too bad.

Wish I had a better impression of the lounge.

[mzteris]

48. I guess you're

always free to leave.

:shrug:

I guess that might sound snarky, but it's really not meant to be.

[JackBeck]

66. Hilarious.

I didn't mean to be snarky.

:shrug:

But I guess I was.

[mzteris]

69. uh - no -

that's not what I said.

I said I WASN'T being snarky, though it might SOUND that way.

Jeez, Jack.


edit d*mn typo

[Xipe Totec]

14. ...

[mzteris]

23. Lounge Lizard -

I LIKE it.

But then there's that Geico gekko thing - think people would get confused and think we're trying to sell them insurance or something?

OK - on the "or something", I suppose!

:rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

27. There is a huge mural of a lizard

on the outside of this lounge in Central Square, Cambridge Mass.

I'll just have to get there with a camera and snap a picture myself.

It is awesome.

[mzteris]

33. cool....

I can't wait to see it!

[Blue-Jay]

16. .

[mzteris]

24. uh

no.

[Lautremont]

17. A twofer -

Mascot and logo all in one:


And, free of charge, a motto!
"Stimulate the phagocytes!" - George Bernard Shaw

[mzteris]

26. Hmmmmm - but that might

disenfranchise the non-smokers in the lounge. Start a flame war or something. And the smokers have an advantage having all those lighters and things. :D

"Stimulate the phagocytes!"

Niiiiiiiice. But -

we don't want to act too pretentious than the rest of DU. Do we? or do we....

[Lautremont]

32. Well, I myself am a non-smoker,

so maybe Wylde Cigaretto would fly after all. As for the motto: I'm not stuck on that one particularly, but I think it would be nice to lord it over the rest of DU, intellectually speaking.

[mzteris]

35. Well - we do RULE

over the rest of DU!

(Or was that drool?)

[femmocrat]

18. Someone posted a photo montage a couple of days ago...

with all the Lounge "inside jokes" in it. Does anyone have a link? All I can remember was an outdoor scene and it was photoshopped to include a lot of iconic images. (It had a statue that looked like a naked California Peggy! :blush: )

[mzteris]

28. Yikes!

How'd I miss that?

A naked California Peggy?

Well, I never.

I'm not sure she'd agree to our putting that on a Tshirt, though!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. I would NEVER agree to a naked image of myself on anything!

Omigod!

Besides, that image does NOT exist! :nuke:

[mzteris]

49. I didn't say it -

someone else did!

I couldn't possibly think you did, btw.

(Unless you're protesting a bit too much??? :rofl: )



:hi:

[sniffa]

44. ooh, have to keep an eye out for that

[taterguy]

47. Bob Weaver posted it

[TrogL]

19. We have a mascot - Oscar

[mzteris]

29. Oscar?

Ok - I'll bite.

Who's Oscar?

Not this guy, I hope:

[SOteric]

31. For years before Oscar, the Lounge mascot has been

the Yak.

[mzteris]

36. WHO is OSCAR?

And dya mean this yak?




or how about - Yakky?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

41. If I may . . .

[mzteris]

63. that was quite a

thread!

:rofl:

[mainegreen]

21. Time for taterguy to haul out that duck/goose.

[mzteris]

30. long as it ain't that

sleddin' picture........

Don't want that on no t-shirt, eh?

:rofl:

[taterguy]

46. I declare this guy the winner since he got an unsolicited vote

Of course we could be quasi-scientific about it and do a poll

[UrbScotty]

38. Done

[mzteris]

51. I thought Matcom

was OUR recurring nightmare!!

:rofl:

(Pretty good, though!!)

:hi:

[petronius]

42. I propose the Spiny Sea Cucumber:

it's ugly, it's prickly, and when it's disturbed it vomits its guts all over the place. Also, it mainly consists of a mouth and an anus...

[mzteris]

58. You may have just

hit the nail on the head!


Upon further review - - - eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww --

No matter how apropos it may be, I don't think I want it on a tshirt.


:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. A-hem

[mzteris]

59. Very niiiiiiiice

I think we have a contender, folks!

We could do a poll after we get a few LEGITIMATE ideas.

[Oeditpus Rex]

64. There might be copyright issues with that

It's an Austin Lounge Lizards logo. :D

http://www.austinlizards.com/

[cboy4]

45. Considering all of the drama here, I say this:

[mzteris]

60. um - C?

that's not drama - that's fighting.

Of course I could see where you might get confused with the two after hanging around here all the time.

They're pretty much interchangeable terms in the Lounge!

:rofl:

[johnnie]

52. .

[mzteris]

61. Oh yeah -

Or As the World Turns, The Young and the Restless - - - any of those would do.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

56. found one

[Hugin]

57. I was just going to suggest that...

GMTA!

:lol:

[mzteris]

62. only one problem -

The monkey looks too much like George. People might think we're from that other place.


:rofl:

[bedpanartist]

67. this is my submission for DU Lounge Logo

I call it America, the Vigotaful.

[mzteris]

68. hooooooooookayyyy

nice piece of work - but I'm not sure it really captures the essence of the Lounge, ya know?

Thank you for playing.

:hi:

[bedpanartist]

70. I think it sums up the lounge quite well myself

but then again, I cherished the thought of Ethel Murman doing a duet with Ronnie James Dio.

[RubyDuby in GA]

71. I don't know about logo and mascot - but I've got our band pic here:
