Festive logo

Exhibit A

So whose horrible idea was that? I don't see it discussed anywhere. ωεαşεζøίɗ ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 14:50, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I think it popped up this morning. Personally I quite like it. There's something sinister about disembodied brains wearing hats. --

^{Ask me about your mother} 15:03, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Is there some sort of holiday that people are celebrating? 'Cause I don't really celebrate holidays, and I find it odd that a community as diverse in its outlooks as this one would all celebrate--or acknowledge in such an obvious way--the same holiday. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 15:07, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Mine, but if you are going to bitch and moan about it, then it's not worth the trouble. Merry Christmas -- Nx / talk 15:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Don't wish me a Merry Christmas. I'm not a Christian. It's bad enough that the streets of town are littered with this kind of nonsense (at taxpayer expense, to boot...) as well as every storefront I walk past. Let's have one fucking place in the world that isn't part of the borg. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 15:19, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

ec Thank you, NX. Hats like that make me think of leggy Russian girls wearing nothing else, and posing provocatively. So many reasons to avoid that line of thought. Must. Focus. Work. To be Done. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 15:23, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

It was a nice thought, Nx. Happy holidays to you.--Tom Moore^{fiat justitia} 15:27, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, was a nice little touch. I suppose we could also remove references to Friday. I don't worship any of the Norse gods, so I'm pretty sick of seeing Friday happening most weeks.--

^{Ask me about your mother} 15:31, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I never got an opportunity to see the festive logo before Theory of Practice apparently got his way by being a whiny bitch. Where is it? And TOP, really? Diverse? There's some atheists, a few Jews, a Muslim, and a bunch of Christians of all stripes. Please remind me to take a shit on your birthday, your anniversary, and any other date that's important to you. Dick. Jerry 15:50, 20 December 2009 (UTC) TheoryOfPractice (talk) 15:58, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh my fucking goat! Can't you people debate a simple site-look issue for a few minutes without resorting to fuck-yous all round? Personally, I don't particularly like the hat, & I think it's a few days too early. If we're gonna use it at all, I reckon it should be something like 24th-26th December only. My main concern is that (as far as I can tell) there was no discussion first, before putting up something that has a fairly major impact on how the site is presented to any visitor. It seems like there's a double standard & some editors (I assumed that this was the work of Nx) seem to think they have carte blanche to make site changes without consensus. ωεαşεζøίɗ

^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 16:07, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

The impact is debatable, but I kind of see it as one of those little ideas that don't cause harm and can be reverted if people don't like it. Nx seems to do a lot of hacking around with the plumbing of the site. He's normally good with consulting over changes to the functionality, but for the work he does I'm pretty happy to trust him to hack around a bit at his own will, so long as it's not something that'll cause serious appearance or functionality issues. I think as well it's worth us remembering that there are nice civil ways to ask for something to be changed. It's kind of frustrating when you come up with something that seems nice, but the responses are carved on a figurative brick and hurled at you.--

You come in all "WTF fucking decorations can't stand 'em WTF who crapped all over the logo with that cheerful shit" and when Cpdrst responds in kind, you label him a troll.

If that was a question, it was, aah, interestingly framed. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 01:09, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

OK, that was a lazy response, and you deserve better. You weren't all shouting and swearing, but your words did get characterized as bitching and moaning before Jerry let off his own flashfart. Wordsmithing is work, which you seem to do your share of around here, so no blame if you thought it was easier to just troll-template, and move on. Still I think "troll" is a mis-characterization of Jerry's edit. What exactly had you been angling for with your earlier outburst? That's just a glimpse of where I'm coming from here. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 02:06, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Maybe dropping the troll-bomb on the paedo-man was uncalled for, but he really pissed me off, given that what I was "angling" for was a bit of discussion on the question of whether or not a place that is dedicated to questioning religion and other group-think should embrace a religious holiday/pagan festival/secular-commercial take on a religious-pagan holiday. I HATE Christmas/The Holidays. Ficking hate everything about them--commercialization, pressures to be sociable/with family/phony, bullshit, shallow nods to "peace" and "the spirit of the holidays." HATE it. And would be glad to discuss why I thonk it would be cool to just let them slip by unacknowledged as a way of getting at how problematic I find the whole exercise to be. Instead, that a-hole made it personal and nasty, What to do? TheoryOfPractice (talk) 03:16, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Your story has touched my heart. Each one of us comes to this RW place from a different ambience. I've had, and recovered from, a hypersensitivity to Christmas commercial BS. Hardly any involuntary exposure to it here any more. Most recent relief comes from my no longer working in a for an outfit that pipes music into its public spaces. Last year the drones in charge of changing channels left the holiday crap going til mid January, and a cabal of workers finally took matters into our own hands when no one was watching.

I have no problem with it appearing in the holydaze/1225 template, or even, of course, in any specific locations (Santa Claus, user pages, etc.). But replacing the main logo with it, while "fun", is also ridiculous. Can't one tiny corner of my life not be intruded upon by Xmas imagery all over the place? ħuman 22:36, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 23:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I thought it was cute, but let's just do it for Christmas if possible. Actually, it's too bad we don't have multiple holiday ones with the fancy new logo. Halloween, Rosh Hashanah, Eid al-Adha, and so on. I'm an atheist, but these are important cultural events and holidays, and are very meaningful to some people with some interesting stories.--Tom Moore^{fiat justitia} 00:59, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

There's got to be at least one occasion when we can have a knife stuck into bleeding brains... or something like that. Look, I think it would be funny and cool if our logo was customized for various times, but a fucking Santa hat a week before Xmas just gets on my tits. We mock this supernatural crap, not endorse and institutionalize it! ħuman

01:13, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

There's Santa woo now, with people actually promoting his literal existence? And here I thought it was a fun seasonal thing aimed at kids and people who remember being kids. Better get right on the Santa debunking articles, then. --Kels (talk) 20:17, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Holy crap no! I never realised it! I suppose for National Homeopathy Week we can dilute the logo or make it appear only 1 in a 10^60 times. The whole season is harmless, fun and festive. If we put a picture of "Baby Jesus" there, your argument may have merit. As it is, it's a santa hat, it's a fun and fairly inoffensive (or maybe not) symbol in the spirit of being happy, joyous, nice and good to everyone regardless - and while I'd like to say that should be all the time, restricting it to being explicit at one time of year makes it a bit more special and intensifies the feeling. Dear fuck, it's not like Santa is specifically religious in nature or the entire season is explicitly and uniquely Chistian. Or would you like it replaced with Mr Gruff from Objective4Kidz?

It's a damn shame that it got pressured off, seeing as the modern Santa can be seen as a symbol working against this being a religious holiday. As the song says, "[Santa] has as much to do with Jesus as he does with Scooby Doo". A Santa hat is emblematic of the growing secularization of Christmas, and it's been that way for a long time.

I'll support a chromatic round in any direction, but come early next year, red with a white fringe and toorie will be right out. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 07:32, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
