Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    Reminds me of the “worst business logo”

    Google it.

    @Joe: ROFL! Even better.

    I dunno, I think it looks like a diaper pin… thing.

    But I can definitely see where you’re coming from :D

    I was sure I had seen that today. Maybe you could ask her what it means? I don’t have a clue if it was on purpose or what…who knows?

    I dunno, I think it looks like a diaper pin… thing.

    …and a penis :P

    Ahahaha, I just googled worst business logo as per Joe’s suggestion – wooow. You’d wonder how everyone overlooked *that*!

    Also, that screencap doesn’t make any sense to me. Is it *supposed* to be a penis, or an eight, or an arrow, or what? :P

    That’s fantastic!

    ROFL I’d like the font too! :P

    … and you think that I, MIMI, am the weird one?! :P

    ROTF! Just google penis font, Jem. You will find tons of them, lol. Though I honestly don’t know why anyone would want a font with penis’ all over it.

  14. Amber says: November 15, 2008 at 12:14 am # ·

    That’s just fantastic. It looks like a cross between a penis and a safety pin..Like some sort of hybrid :)

    It’s Jenn’s custom font actually, so I guess you’ll have to ask her what it’s supposed to be? I kind of see it as a diaper pin, myself.

    … it’s funnier as a penis though.

  16. Christina says: November 15, 2008 at 2:43 am # ·

    Holy crap, wow. I’m curious as to what it was intended to be.

  17. Mimi says: November 15, 2008 at 3:21 am # ·

    Haha, I saw it in action on her blog. I wonder if she will be upset that you call it a penis font? If it were a diaper pin, the bottom part shouldn’t be bent inward the way it is… It would make more sense to make it look like a real one I would think?

    Ohh nice font :P If you find the font, let us know about it!

    Or you could make one. :P

    Obviously this was never shown to anyone for feedback because I know that if I showed that to my design classmates/friends they’d be like — “DONG!”

    oh FONT?? *sheepish feet shuffling* I read “front” the first time and was wondering what they would be all about XD

  22. Sarah says: November 15, 2008 at 10:20 am # ·

    LOL.

  23. Diana says: November 15, 2008 at 10:22 am # ·

    I’m sure it was supposed to look like something else, I’m just not sure what. A pen? What a reach.

    Penis font it is.

  24. mary says: November 15, 2008 at 12:01 pm # ·

    I think it looks like two asses stacked up… *WTH are they doing?*

  25. Hannah says: November 15, 2008 at 2:51 pm # ·

    LOL what. You think Jenn would notice that she has a giant penis-like image on her blog. o_O

  26. Joe says: November 15, 2008 at 3:35 pm # ·

    http://www.b3ta.com/features/phalliclogoawards/ is an interesting read. :P

  27. Stephanie says: November 15, 2008 at 9:58 pm # ·

    It’s supposed to be a colon, I believe, according to her twitter/plurk messages.

  28. Jenn says: November 20, 2008 at 1:58 am # ·

    The font in question was (note the past tense) Giddyup.

  29. Courtney says: November 22, 2008 at 1:35 am # ·

    Dude, what is it actually supposed to be? A colon? Weeeird.
