Bit of a cheek maybe since I'm new around here but I really have taken an irrational dislike to it. I think it's becasue its a take off of another logo and so not original. When it was first used the joke was probably quite funny, but now...

It doesn't help that I've spent long minutes gazing at it while waiting for pages to load. Is Mumsnet always this slow?

Ooooh my first Biscuit

TaggieCampbellBlack · 14/07/2012 21:28

Yup. Gal on the right should be either cupping her boob or waving a mobile.

TaggieCampbellBlack · 14/07/2012 21:29

S'not slow for me tbough.

DamnBamboo · 14/07/2012 21:29

Are you complaining about the speeed or the logo?

If the latter, YANBU.

If the former, check your internet connection, I don't often have problems.

YABU Biscuit

MN was being weird for me earlier, not loading the talk pages from one another but was loading from the home page.

RE the logo, YABU, I think it's fun :)

dustyblinds · 14/07/2012 21:31

What is the girl on the right supposed to be doing? It looks to me like she's about to take a long drag on a marjuana pipe.

AgentZigzag · 14/07/2012 21:42

It's a can of hairspray isn't it dusty? Grin

rhondajean · 14/07/2012 21:43

I thought it was a baby bottle?

Goofus · 14/07/2012 21:45

Holding a baby bottle, of course!

I quite like the logo.

AgentZigzag · 14/07/2012 21:47

I don't think dusty was seriously suggesting the woman was having a quick toak while the DC did some colouring rhonda and goofus Grin

northlight · 14/07/2012 21:49

Mmm. Am I right in thinking that Mumsnet is the one place where it's not a good thing to be offered a biscuit?

Sorry, I thought AIBU had trivial and non trivial threads. I'll return to lurkdom till I get the tone right.

Dusty, I've always thought the same Grin

And the little logo on the Brew just looks like a cannabis leaf

Perhaps they're all stoned at MN Towers and that's why the site keeps crashing Shock

pictish · 14/07/2012 21:50

I agree...the logo is naff, but you can't please all of the people all of the time can you?

rhondajean · 14/07/2012 21:52

Nooo zigzag was your hairspray suggestion got me wondering!

AgentZigzag · 14/07/2012 21:52

'you can't please all of the people all of the time can you?'

You can if you pass the smoke around Smile

Chubfuddler · 14/07/2012 21:52

Take no notice northlight. You can post whatever you like.

The biscuit is the stupidest emoticon and isn't even used to mean what it originally meant in the context of that brown interview so it's a nonsense really.

SoleSource · 14/07/2012 21:53

Worra LOL

WorraLiberty · 14/07/2012 21:54

Perhaps it's not a biscuit but a hash cake?

ekidna · 14/07/2012 21:54

i think the logo will pass for a bit longer but I think you're right to bring it up.

Its not mega original but will do for now and I cant be bothered to think of anything better if was commissioned :-)

dearprudence · 14/07/2012 21:55

Trivial is OK. I suspect the biscuits are because you said you were new then started being a bit critical. We can get a bit, er... protective of our MN.

SoleSource · 14/07/2012 21:56

Space cakes are lethal.

dearprudence · 14/07/2012 21:56

Meant to add - but stick around and keep posting. Don't let a few ol' biscuit crumbs put you off.

WorraLiberty · 14/07/2012 21:57

Space cakes are lethal

Especially at the school bake sale.... Grin

germyrabbit · 14/07/2012 21:58

the logo is great!

it's really not that relevant if you spend a long time here, like picking holes in the typeface of a magazine whilst ignoring its content
