Have to agree that a "Skull" gives out the wrong vibe for a cannabis site...

Just look at the amount of Members that have a negative opinion on it,,
so just judging from that fact alone what sort of impression is it going to send
out to visitors who after all are perspective future members. . . .

That's my :twocents: worth,, not it seems that anything is going to change. . . .

Peace out. . . . :thumbsup:

the main page and the cannabis logo look horrible

First off cannabis is a plant of life, not death. It brings joy, it heals the body and mind and it eliminates pain. The skull contradicts the truth about cannabis. Secondly, one of the main causes we have is to legalize cannabis. To do this, among other things, we have to shake the "13 year old stoner" image and promote a more mature image of the pot using community. We are doctors, lawyers, teachers and all of the other professions as well as kids. Cannabis is used by a cross-section of the population. However, the public sees only the "13 year old stoners" and the skull supports this illusion. Then there are the "satanic" implications- yes, I agree no one but a fool would connect using cannabis with satanism- but it seems to me that the prohibs ARE a big bunch of fools! And they will jump on anything that furthers their insane cause. The skull does not help at all! Skulls are immature symbols of teen-type rebellion at best. I don't even want to go into their symbolism at the worst! I'm working on a degree in psychology, and the implications of having a skull as part of the logo for a psychologically supportive site, disturb me. I know that the greater majority of you are under 25 and are male, but even so guys, skulls aren't THAT cool. (I had a big rant here and deleted it- it was on the popularity of skulls and how they can be a marker for insane societies- do your own research if you are interested- start with the Aztecs, and the Skull and Bones Society) The lettering is fine, but the skull must go! I'd replace it with a nice fat indica leaf. :dance:

:dance: I wish I were as gifted at getting a point across, without ruffling feathers as you are, Stormie :thumbsup: ... you absolutely are on top of this, and naturally, I couldn't agree more :dance: ... btw, do you still visit TY ? ... it seems pretty slow over there lately ... :smokin:

My problem is that prohibitionists tend to look for things to make us hippies look bad when most of the time there isn't anything.

I can see some pseudo-psychologist on CNN saying "Look at this, this is the logo for the largest online cannabis community in the world. Can you see the skull? It is obviously another manifestation of the violence inherent in the cannabis culture!"

Like we need to hand them another lie.

I don't see why Sundance chose to make the logo have a skull in the first place. Wherefore art thou, Sundance?

another very logical point made ... (from a guy I seldom agree with ), good response there, Jake ... :thumbsup:

now that the original Thread regarding the logo is 'closed', is the Poll function still operable on it ? ... I already voted, so I have no way of knowing, ... I'm curious as to where the Poll count sits right now, even though many have probably missed it, since Psycho4Bud closed it ...

I would like to see a new Poll put up, also ... but, I also remind myself this is a privately owned FREE website, so whatever the owners do is up to them ... wanna put up another Poll, Sundance ?? ... :smokin:

How bout this homies

another AWESOME suggestion... the amount of people for the new logo is like 3 in 20 as it seems

there's been several positive samples presented, I liked most all of them ... hell, the skull would even look good (as a tattoo on an outlaw biker's ass ) ... but, for a Pro-marijuana website ??? .... nahhhh :smokin:
