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

[Swedington]

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?

ClickNegg - LOL at Brian Sewell emoticon.

ANd MrsBadger CatsBumsNet is inspireed. I love it.

ANd the face and biscuit emoticons are a bit last century. We need a series of cats' sphincters emoticons, displaying varying degrees of uptightness.

This thread is in poor taste and should be banned.

I am going to start a campaign.

Swedington - I was just wandering over here to suggest that we get a cats bum emoticon. Thing of how much time it would save. AIBU would collapse under the sheer weight of them all

I think I'm going to start using that. :: : : : : : : : : : : :*

Or, with crossed arms under bosom:

Or a Siamese long haired cat in Manhattan that's fed far too many bagels

Could we have a lolcat's bum face for sourness expressed with humour?

Can I make a plea for the dog's bum face? My dog has a particularly conspicuous and unattractive bottom and I don't understand why cats' bums get all the plaudits.

When we got our cats, the male one had a problem in that one of his testicles was undescended. This is a serious issue in cats as they can become cancerous.

When we took him in to be 'done', if it hadn't descended they would have had to operate. (Think £££££ at this point!). We came back to collect him, and the vet told us that it had descended, and that the cat had one of the finest pairs of testicles he had ever seen. Which he had then chopped off ...

As you were!

I reckon the vet had a side business in testicle taxidermy.

He probably sold bollocks off in job lots to Beta advertising agency.

Do think he keeps them somewhere in his surgery, on show?

Maybe he uses them in his desk toy - you know - the one with the balls that swing from side to side?

I reckon he made them into a very small bottle opener (warning - link probably not suitable for work, though it is an actual product, it seems!)

Perhaps he wanted to fashion a Neuton's Cradle

Jackieno -

That's what it's called!

2 and a half cats' worth on that though. He will have one left over.

Agree with JackBauer, we need a judgey smiley with a wig on.

Does anyone remember reading George's Marvellous Medicine where it said his granny had a puckered up mouth like a dog's bottom? I've seen that, it's a good description of old lady mouth-pursing.

I think we should produce Mumsnet catsbumface certificates and send them to institutions, manufacturers and companies who make parents' lives more difficult.

We could have sent a mumsnetter to OAA to register widespread disapproval at that ill advised advertising campaign.

Oh please can we do Mumsnet catsbumface, Justine?

Well we thinking of doing an annual awards thing based on our reviews so maybe we can incorporate some wooden spoons... not sure a Catsbum is quite right though... can we not think of something more mumsnetty - rather than petsnetty?
