to think MN should think up its own logo rather than ripping off Charlie's Angels?

I do like the logo a lot, but I always feel it's a bit of a rip off.

I'm surprised Charlie et al haven't sued.

What do you suggest as an alternative then?

Harassed mum with gin bottle and iPad or maybe Boden clad on iPhone?

it's an homage innit.

no one can get cross about that! ;)

Maybe talc could conjure up a new logo out of emoticons, pissy

At what point does homage become ripoff?

Well I think it's great!

The very reason I stayed on MN after randomly discovering it while looking for pushchair reviews in 2006, was because of the logo.

I was ever so slightly obsessed with Charlie's Angels as a kid, and the idea that there was a parenting website that equated parents with my favourite crime fighting trio just called to me...

Seriously, YABU - the logo is a perfect encapsulation of everything I love about MN

YABU

Or maybe they should change it to ?!

Heck. I always thought it was the imprint of a spider I once squashed on the laptop screen

Mind you, it does look like a cannabis leaf when on a

You say potato, I say po-tar-to!

homage?? rip-off?? depends on the legal team really :o

I like it. It represents a bunch of bally, independent, intelligent, innovative and kick ass women!

I can't think of a better logo, tbh!

I always think it looks like a profile view of a swiss army knife with all the tools out,

But it is naff and a bit sad.

Which is a shame, as I am sure MN could do better, maybe they should run a competition to come up with an alternative, let people vote on it.

Yes, Mumsnet can never hope to become a successful site with this logo.

I have always wondered this. I think a competition would be a good idea.

i heart the logo

The logo is fine - some like it, some don't.

It doesn't matter if there is a competition to change it, because whatever is decided on will not please a goodly percentage of posters - MNHQ would be critisised no matter what.

Why fix what isn't broken?

I like it. I thought the fact it was like Charlie's Angels was intentional TBH.

I didn't think it wasn't intentional. The question is whether it is somewhat unoriginal.
