In all seriousness, I don't think the forum is dweeby. I just think you have the logo, the paisley, and that's enough.Quote:

A Polo golf shirt doesn't have the horsie and the word Polo underneath it. It would be far dweebier if it did.
Compromise? Forum with F hole, but so small it can barely be seen?

This wayward thread is about to be "Certified Silver". Hey, 3-Mike... where's the graphic?
"I'm going to remain somewhat adamant about my position about it saying "Forum" on it."
I'm not adamant with any of it. I'm just looking from a visual design perspective. I really detailed graphic should have minimal or no text since it detracts from the graphic. So, my preferences with that particular graphic would be 1) no text at all, 2) small plain-font text (Forum/PRS Forum/etc). If it were done with the F-hole symbol and script text along with that graphic.... that may be getting into the gaudy realm.
With that said, of the simpler designs suggested, I really like the F-Hole'ised Forum in the center of the circle of birds as well (Goldtop's current avatar).
I KNOW I KNOW, I'm almost done with it I promise! hahaQuote:

After (entirely too) much discussion about the TRC design, we have come to a compromise that will surely make no one happy.
This is the winning entry.

LOL. That says, "Spinal Tap - Smell the Glove" to me.
“It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.”
Is the "Certified Silver" graphic up for debate next?Quote:

I didn't think so. Oh well. Got my plug in. Now, everyone should go listen to "Secret Treaties", read the thread entitled "The Amp, the guitar and the studio" in it's entirety... and then come back and post. It's time for an intermission anyway.
That's a negative, Ghost Rider.Quote:

A short explanation on my idea...
In mythology, crows are carriers or bringers of knowledge and information. I kinda see us that way as a group. We share and grow together and that is awesome! And, a crow is a "bird" so that helps with the PRS connotation...
The "moon" has long been associated with insanity and strange behavior. And we have our fair share of lunacy and lunatics here. And I mean that in a good way. Not to mention it represents the other revered inlay we all know and love...
Lastly, we are all woven into the fabric of this thing by a common thread, our love of the fine instruments coming out of Stevensville... So, to me, that's what the paisley represents.
For what it's worth, y'all made my day! I am stoked to be a part of our little community regardless of what ends up on Forum TRC...
Keep the designs coming fellas!!!
Hmm... I fear I may not ever go back...Quote:

I can't believe there wasn't more love for my Hasselhoff design.
