I though the organge was pretty coolr until someone suggested blue would be better. Can y'all let me know which one you preffer?

The color will figure more prominently in the updated site. The naivation bars which are plain text now will follow the color scheme used in the logo.

Which color looks better to you?



Thanks,
Troy

Use a variety of colors for different moods, different departments and or whatnot

The symbol and the lettering stay constant.

Don't they present the famous Playboy Bunny in many different varieties and colors? You are going to be making this into book marks, paper weights..

I thought you'd be consulting your high powered international network of design engineers, who would tell you about the psychological and sociological implications of using Green in Zembabwe.

Am thinking orange, why? Cuz Cagedbird said blue *smile*.

No, I like orange because it just seems to more pleasing to my eye.

Blue is cool, but don't be no fool, listen to your heart, and me *lol*. By all means, don't listen to Cynique. Whatever she says, run the other way. I know she's your laugh track buddy an-err-thang, but am tellin ya Troy, that woman is gonna get you in trouble.

I'm surprised you don't like "yellow", Carey, inasmuch as you have a streak of it running down down your bent back.

I don't have a preference between blue or orange. My favorite color is lavender.

You would like Lavender, Cynique, it probably reminds you of the aftershave that you wear - Old English *lol*

Not. The color lavender doesn't bring the scent of lavender to my mind. Especially since after I shave my legs, those luscious naturally fragrant gams require nothing else.

There were a bunch of interesting comments on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=620627049&share_id=156539710238&comments=1 &ref=mf#div_story_156539710238_156539710238

I'm not sure if non-facbook people can see this. Actually if a non facebook person can try to view the conversation, and let me know if they can see it I would appreciate it.

Hey Soul_Sister hope all is well.

Take a look at these logos and vote on which one looks best: http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e2kkx1ohfzbthhx8/start

One of these, or a slight variation will be the next AALBC.com logo.

I'm with you, Caged Bird. I figure I can't go wrong with your choice because you are so bright and upbeat that you provide a good balance to this board which has become a outlet for my cynical view of the world. (I'm sure Troy would agree.)

I've heard of Shingles. Aren't they a member of the Chicken Pox family? And, yes, I understand they are very painful and that they crop up and then subside. Be on the alert because they might lower your resistance and make you more suceptible to the swine flu... Well, - I guess that made your day. Take care and be well!

Carey who?

Yeah, multi colored. You know red and blue are big gang colors, so you avoid them and you avoid crips and bloods wearing your gear (they love to wear the most innocent type of gear in them colors and blink all innocent at any officers..

Blue and Orange are the colors of the Chicago Bears; also the Fightin Ilini. These colors kinda resonant with a midwestern aura. But, - New Yorker Troy has made his choice and, in an my usual attempt to suck up to him, I am going along with his selection.

"Blue and Orange are the colors of the Chicago Bears...."

Wow! Thank you Ms. Cynique. All these years, I thought the Bears colors were blue and red. I never noticed the orange before until you said it. But I did see those orange jerseys one time and I thought they were throw backs. When I read you comment, I immediately checked it out. Dang! Well, ya learn something new every day.....

You're welcome, NTFS. Blue and orange sports gear is all you see during the football season around these parts! Go, Bears!

Cynique, one of my favorite pictures of my little brothers is of both of them posing together dressed in Bears gear. The youngest was a very small baby at the time. Today he jokes that in the picture he looks wet still, and the little outfit was much too big for him. He says that our father probably snatched him from the birth canal, put a Bears outfit on him, and took the picture. LOL!
