New Logo

Anyone noticed the new 'Wild About Britain' logo at the top of the page? Very apt, I like it

agrumpycow · #2 (**permalink**) 26-07-2007, 05:56 PM

Oops, just noticed it's already been mentioned on Wild-Woman's 'not again' thread

Yes, but it is sunny here and I have used the sunny WAB logo in my website ....

Wild About Britain

May the sun and the sunny WAB logo return to us all soon.

I only ever see the one with the fluffy white clouds in a blue sky... I know I sleep a lot but it surely isnt April again... is it?

Cazzie · #5 (**permalink**) 26-07-2007, 10:00 PM

It's very apt I reckon! Think it should be raining a wee bit harder though

Not so funny for those members whose homes may have been flooded.

Not flooded where I live but no water in the taps...not much fun standing filling buckets from bowsers in the rain either, for that matter.

I sympathise Solus, it is surely a difficult time for many people. But we are British and comments on the weather, humorous or not, are a national pastime. No disrespect is meant I am sure. Lets not get too PC, I like the new logo, it is certainly very apt. Maybe a new logo for every condition? – Excellent stuff

I'm the most un-PC person you could get!

My point was just that it might be upsetting to anyone who has had their home flooded to think that their predicament was in any way being made fun of. I was in Tewkesbury today and it just broke my heart to see piles of ruined sofas, carpets, rugs, fridges, washing machines and even framed pictures and personal possessions outside some houses while their occupants were desperately trying to clean the muck and silt from inside. Places with marks halfway up the doors and higher showing just how far the floodwater came... and all this, remember, with no mains water. I just thought in the circumstances, the new logo was perhaps a touch insensitive.

Rubbish.

Unbelievable

It's not as tough the logo has got floating sofas, with ducks laughing at homes underwater. This site is about British wildlife and the environment, big areas of which are currently underwater...that's just a fact and the logo represents the situation. What about all the animals homes and animals that didn't escape the flooding?

Maybe we shouldn't ever post a logo with a rainbow in it as could be considered insensitive to people who are colour blind...or one with a blazing sun that might offend redheads who burn easily and have to stay indoors

It always takes AOL a while to catch up with no logos. It does on my own site

StuartDH · #12 (**permalink**) 28-07-2007, 08:33 AM

a hard frefresh should do it...press the shift key whilst clicking on your browser's refresh button and it clear the cache to show the new logo

Woke up this morning & it's sunny on the south coast, with more sun forecast over the next 5 days! Hopefully this is a sign of things to come (and the sign of a new sunny logo)!!!

Great work on the logo

now theres an idea

- not really , its equally possible that those who are suffering from the floods might find it to be a bit of light relief from the unremitting hardship (assuming of course that they have power and computers that work)

Google did something very similar the other day as did some of the regional weather forecasts.

incidentally a work colleague who lives in oxford has a great picture of as duck sitting on the sofa in his flooded lounge , and it really does look as tho the duck is laughing.

I guess I better not get him to post tho it incase anyone finds it offensive

we had a strange yellow thing shining in the sky here today - for a couple of hours anyway until it started raining again.

I'm contemplating building an ark but am having great difficulty in finding two aardvarks

I think the Logo is great. Its nice to change it now and again depending on the weather or anything else.
I think this country has gone PC mad, these days you dont seem to be able to do anything for fear of offending someone.

The fact is no matter what spell of weather we have someone is effected, To much sun and we have hosepipe Bans and farmers and fruit and veg growers lose crops, to much snow and we lose animals and people die, Gale force winds and peoples houses get damaged, lightening Kills people and damages homes....

Life is a series of hazards and catastrophies thats just the way it is..... But the one thing we all hang on to is a sense of humour.. if we didnt we would all be suicidal..
I think all this PC rubbish should be ban and we should get back to being able to say and do what we want like the good old days!!

keep the Logo's comming Stu
