TBC, I really liked the traditional, 'abstract blue' one we had for awhile.

Now if there was a cool flag that somehow represented Ancient Mesopotamia... well, okay!

But.... haha, this is why I should hang out more in chat / discord, isn't it?
Bah, it's just that I spent years doing that in a different community, and I'm kinda burned out by that shizzle. Oh well.

ANYWAY... in the hilarious, tragic game of life, these are exactly the right problems to have, yeah mate? XD

I think my only real point here with this silly post is in giving some user/member feedback along the lines of: I find that a logo can have a remarkably profound affect upon perception, and... loads of whatever else.

For example, it kinda shocked me how differently a 'vibe' I got from the site/project as the logos flashed from one thing to another. Please use that information accordingly. :P

Tis true.

But this flag points left - would that make this anti-Palestine? (Obviously not, but then why does it point left?)

I think it was just so that the triangle lined up with how the piefed logo normally looks. Just a stylistic choice.

I imagine from a developer viewpoint, fiddling with something like this is a nice break 🙂 I have enjoyed the flag parade and accept future flags and the past pie, whichever comes next!

Good point; well said! <3

I think the idea of Ziegeπ Fed as a tongue and cheek kind of name twist for a logo is clever but I have no idea about the German cultural relevance, like if that carries the same snarky understated self deprecating type of layered meaning. That could make a goat the mascot. Goats eat anything, 'hippie/stubborn group of lady goats' sounds to me like the most apropos description of a social link aggregator. This would open up branding and brand image substantially.

Not quite sure I follow you there, but in the words of Jar-Jar: me-sa entertained! :D
