Rebranding of Mumsnet. Your thoughts on our new cat's bum face logo?

49 replies

Swedington · 06/01/2010 12:16

We employed a focus group and a rebranding team at a digital agency and they've suggested we replace our current logo with a cat's bum face logo. The Mumsnet typeface would remain the same.

So what do you think, Mumsnetters? Does the cat's bum face better suit our general disapproval and joylessness or shall we stick with what we've got?

Need to see logo to comment.

Exactly how are we joyless?

BecauseImWorthIt · 06/01/2010 12:19

and

Is there an 'arms crosssed under my bosom' emoticon as well?

That will be the one featured on a high horse, of course.

Can you do a sneering catsbum face?

JackBauerisreadyforDay8 · 06/01/2010 12:20

What about 'Judging my pants off' face?

Can someone be pouring a fruitshoot in a baby bottle into the cats bum mouth?

The lippy is a bit bright for my taste.

JackBauerisreadyforDay8 · 06/01/2010 12:26

I doubt the S&B stalwarts would approve of those glasses.

ChickensHaveFrozenNuggets · 06/01/2010 12:27

Ew. That's not your hairy arse is it, Swedington?

hobbgoblin · 06/01/2010 12:27

Rofl!

As the picture loads you see the actual cats bum before the photoshop efforts in decency!

Luckily I didn't mind as I have one in my face most mornings... cat's bum that is, nobody else's (possibly sadly)

FlightAttendant · 06/01/2010 12:28

I like Biwi's suggestion, horse, arms, chest, everything.

Perfect. It is how I picture mumsnet in my mind.

fanjolina · 06/01/2010 12:28

Ha ha. It took me ages (years ) to realise that in the existing logo, the woman on the right is brandishing a bottle, not a gun as I thought!

onebatmother · 06/01/2010 12:29

Like [http://www.captaingrooviss.co.uk/images/Mcatbum.jpg this] but with long wavy hair?

onebatmother · 06/01/2010 12:29

balls this

Swedington · 06/01/2010 12:31

We could have cat's bum face mumsnet stickers and go round the shops sticking them on everything that meets with our easy disapproval?

Like this

but MUCH more stroppy.

chaostrulyreigns · 06/01/2010 12:35

Like the idea of stickers!

Oh so many places to stick them - think I would run out of time to actually log on!!!!

Swedington · 06/01/2010 12:37

I'd much rather post on a site called cats bum face than mumsnet. the name Mumsnet is sooooo terrys.bigblog.com.au/data/3/15062/image/TalkingCatsBum6619120090123180800.gif.

chaostrulyreigns · 06/01/2010 18:09

ClickNegg · 06/01/2010 18:12

CatsBumsNet

love it

DarrellRivers · 06/01/2010 18:17

mumsnet does sound a little pedestrian
i agree, catsbumsnet has a certain ring to it

DarrellRivers · 06/01/2010 18:17

But don't let the pedants near it
