mumsnet logo - has it always been purple?

Am I going mad? I have just noticed the mumsnet logo is in purple and I'm fairly sure it was in dark blue before - has it changed or am I just spectacularly unobservant/going mad? Confused

Help!

I haven't even had any Wine so that's no excuse...
(or maybe that's the problem Wink)

It's today. Smile

" ShowOfHands
Are you wearing a dress for the day Damian? I do hope it's purple."

Have you seen the David Craig video yet?

meditrina · 08/03/2011 11:28

Daniel Craig!! (sorry)

Looking forward to my DH having pancakes on the table when I get in from work. Possibly with flour covered children Grin. And I quite like the purple logo.

I hadn't seen that meditrina. Grin

Bit good innit?

Thanks for the link, think I will use that video with my students.

ShowOfHands · 08/03/2011 11:32

thumb you can still have pancakes on any other day. Gwan. Pretend it's pancake day tomorrow.

Show, I might just do that. Hope DS likes them - DH is away so if DS isn't keen I'll be eating a lot of pancakes myself! ShockGrin

DD doesn't like pancakes too much but loves drop scones which are effectively the same except they're sweeter and thicker.

might try those instead - they're easier to turn over as well Grin

I am wearing a purple dress today. Should I pretend it's on purpose?

As an aside, has anyone noticed/mentioned that the mums are wearing bootleg jeans? I know flares are back in at the mo, but what about when they aren't? The last four years it has really irked me.

Now, I'm off to do something less vacuous....Blush

MirandaWest · 08/03/2011 13:48

I have a purple top on.

DontCallMeBaby · 08/03/2011 15:35

I'm also wearing a purple dress today. But then it's a notable day when I don't wear purple.

@Queefer the flares are the same as in the original Charlie's Angels logo that the MN one rips off pays tribute to.

Ah, I thought I was going mad for a while.

if I'm not mistaken, purple and green were the colours adopted by the sufferagettes.

meditrina · 08/03/2011 22:33

Green White and Violet - for Give Women the Vote.

SoulDude · 08/03/2011 22:41

add a little green - esp where the tory blue is. that would look priddy.

That video is rather good, isn't it?
I have just realised that Buzz Lightyear is in Suffragette colours (DS is waving him around)

I think it is in support of the AV Yes campaign isn't it? Their thing (at least I hope its their campaign not another spurious yes for something else!!) is a purple square (a bit like silk cut purple I was musing.. perhaps the marketing is done by someone who studied their craft in the 80s/90s???? :)

Heroine · 08/03/2011 22:57

Oh hang-on I've just got why there were really creepy fawning ads all over the papers saing how much the EU wants women to be paid as much as men etc... I wondered what had started all the insincerity...
