To think it's a bit cheeky to put yourself in the club logo?

A club I'm part of has a new publicity person on the committee, she started last year and has been very keen. We've talked about modernising, appealing to new people etc for a while and one of the things mentioned was a new logo. She's now designed it and it's been officially "released". It's a silhouette with the name of the club around it in the club colours, perfectly nice.

But, I've realised that the logo is a photograph of the committee member made into a silhouette (it's one of her Facebook pictures - I saw it earliest and thought it looked familiar!). Just how much front do you have to have to think no other drawing or picture is good enough and you're the perfect choice for the logo?!

That's hilarious Grin I'm impressed by her actually.

Surely it's more likely that she needed a silhouette and just used a handy one - she probably didn't think anyone would even notice!

She is a special kind of confident! I am slightly envious

Shock Grin. How did she get that past the committee?!

Grin brilliant. She sounds, erm, "spunky"!

Maybe she picked her own silhouette because she wasn't sure about the official way to get permission to use an image of someone else? It's not like her face is now the picture of the club. I can't see the problem!

I bet she didn't think anyone would recognize it-she just used it as a generic image.

I can't decide whether to laugh or shake my head Grin

It would be fine, if a touch odd, except... it's a sport, and the silhouette isn't a particularly good example of how you'd look (imagine holding a cricket bat with your hands very close, or a dancer doing an arabesque and not pointing her toes).
