Had a quick few minutes tonight to monkey around and create a potential logo for CFF (if nothing already in the works).

It's rough, kinda basic/boring but thought I'd put it forward as a rough template.

Could at least adjust it and turn it into an icon if we end up creating an app for the site.

Thoughts?

I'm noticing a big gulf between the have's and the have nots. Basically anyone with real money starts acting like Elon Musk. Killing CDC is pretty much like Musk being stupid and saying he'd buy Twitter for $44 Billion. The lawyers and the board heard that. And do not I blame them for taking the money. Then Musk gets a hold of Twitter. Within a year destroys the brand, starts telling people he's going to charge them to use it. So he's basically written off his $44 billion. Which I have a nasty suspicion he's going to parlay that into operating losses, and just reap some huge tax refund.

 

Killing CDC was Aqua's brand X. Making them and Musk the Kings of Twits.

It's pretty funny how clueless this makes the Canucks org look. You can't shut down discussion on the innernet. We'll just move right next to where we were before and keep discussing in the same exact way, and now they look like butthurt, out of touch idiots.

Not only that, but now they lost what little control they had of the content/narrative.

I didn’t say it was worth bragging about. I said it was his greatest accomplishment!

 

i dunno, taking down twitter is a truly commendable achievement. if he could buy up meta next and take out that suite of trash too, that would be ideal. 

 

maybe he could get zuckerberg to put his company on the line in their cage match.

Do you happen to have a PSD or clear png? I might make this the page icon and have a monocolor one for the header.

I’ll see what I can provide when I get in. TBH, I just made the ugly thing in Mac Pages, haha. Thanks!

Not sure if this is possible, but in terms of operational revenue I was wondering if admins could commission Gassy Jack to allow for a few of his hockey cards to be printed on T-shirts for sale (or by donation) on site or through 3rd party?

 

It’d be using a player’s likeness. Unsure of legal liability if using it to promote or for profit. 
 

@aGENT any idea?

If someone understands the backstory of this whole thing and how we got here, they may be willing to sign a limited usage release for fundraising purposes....
