Mumsnet socialist realism

[lingle]

Did mumsnet always have that logo on the top left? Is it new or has it just got bigger?

It looks exactly like those Soviet era posters of the happy workers striding towards the socialist future. All we need is a hammer and sickle flag in the hand of the young pioneer who is pointing so enthusiastically.

And what's with the silhouettes of the women? How many members do you think you have with thighs and stomachs in the Barbie-doll dimensions drawn? And I see the perfectly groomed lady on the right has a bottle. In the new-style Soviet mumsnet era is she too busy building communism to breastfeed?

lol lingle this is the third post mentioning the bottle.
i hadn't noticed it before either. it must've got bigger no?

It's always been there, it's just got bigger.

I love the logo

The mother on the left looks like she's nearly dropped the baby.

I always think they look like they're leaping out of a cauldron!

It reminds me of the old Charlie's Angels thing. It's cool!

I assumed it was a play on the old Charlie's Angels logo ... isn't it?

it is a play on charlies angels.

it has always been there

it is good

it is clever and funky

babies do sometimes drink from bottles and this is okay.

I love it.

Erm yes it's a spoof of Charlie's Angels - Lingle you must be very young or extremely highbrow (or both ) to think social realism and not Sabrina and co.

Are you saying I'm not highbrow 'cos I knew it was Charlie's Angels???

Actually I think a Soviet realist style logo is a fab idea

Sabrina was always the best of the Angels. The only one who had a clue what was going on. And you could tell that Charlie had a soft spot for her.

I do see what Lingle means - that baby/toddler at the top has a look of the revolutionary hero himself

Yes and Sabrina was the only one who never took her clothes off - did you notice that? (Plus she was the prettiest.)

I'm highbrow me!

must... work.... must.. work..

must not design socialist realist logo for MN...

Perhaps they are Soviet Charlie's Angels? Working for the KGB?

MrsBadger - do it, do it. I was just wondering if anyone here had the skills . You owe it to your comrades, and to the revolutionary cause.

(Sabrina was definately the prettiest. I wanted to be Sabrina. Actually, I still do.)

LOL @ this thread!

Yes, Sabrina. Was I the only one who wanted the boobs of the other one with ddark hair, what was her name?

pmsl socialist...charlies angels.

i was always sabrina in school playground

shows age and piss poor 70's schooling!

there was chris and julie

the third one was always a big fugly - and the least fave friend always got the fugly angel in the playground

her.

Hassled I read that as

I wanted Sabrina. Actually, I still do.

And thought that was an interesting confession for a discussion about logo/branding.

I agree with whoever said looks like some sort of hideous burst spider creature

Dammit. My secret's out. I would have got away with it too if it weren't for you meddling MNers
