They're the single most important "faces" companies of all types present to the public in representing their images and attitudes. Whether or not you believe this is true, they do provoke immediate, almost subliminal responses, and that's why Image was lobbying for a more positive one here, I'm sure.

That all being said, obviously, the owners of the site have done--and will continue to do--precisely what they want. I'm quite at peace with that. What is much more grievous to me is the loss of an adult gentleman whose courtesy and contributions made these boards a better place to be for everyone.

Vaya con Dios, Image Reaper, and a very happy holiday season to you, too!
What you say is true in a Logo as you see the stir it caused here... first impressions are very important...
