    We've got five months. We need to start planning now.

    Nick had a good idea. One thing can be a new logo contest. Scorp is the only person that has the font of the current logo and for one reason or another, he can't give it up. I want something we have a little more control over.

    I've got a friend that's a professional graphic artist. He comes up with new company logos on a routine basis, and for some major companies. I'm going to ask him to give it a whirl and I'll enter that one as well.

    What are your ideas?

    Since this is the most apathetic staff in the world, maybe a public thread on this would be more useful?

    I'm not apathetic. I just don't give a shit! :P

    But, to remind the more forgetful around here, I worked as a professional graphic artist for ten years. I have certain skilz in that area as well. Or am I discounted from a logo contest because I'm on staff?

    Staff can enter because WF as a whole votes on the winners.

    I knew that! :nyer:

    Of course you're welcome to enter. In fact, one of my oldest friends is a professional graphic artist. I've got him working on a couple of designs that I'll enter. Of course, he's doing it for free too, one of those famous buddy deals. :D

    We could sacrifice two mods in fire and pray to Jove that the stupidity the RR has become ends :borg:

    If we're talking about sacrifices, I can think of a few names to throw into the ring... :diablo:

    If we consider a writing contest, we should announce it soon and give people lots of time to work on it...and time to advertise it a bit and see if we can get some new members out of it.

    That way we can announce a winner on the anniversary itself.

    Are we going there again? :unsure:

    It'd be great if we could get some of the members who haven't posted in awhile to stop by. Diacanu, Uncle Albert, Summerteeth, Actormike, Storm ...
