Uhmm... yeah... I was just searching through Yahoo, and I found this. [1]. It's kind of creepy...   t o m p k i n s  blah. ﺞوﻦ וףה ՃՄ ண்ஸ ފއހ วอฏม +տ trade websites 17:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

hehe "This is a test server only; any stored content here is not up-to-date. See http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/:Main_Page for the current page" - I think that sums it up! :P --Olipro Co-Anc (Harass) 19:04, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually, you just brought this to my attention; I don't remember that logo for UnNews, but I think I like it... --Olipro Co-Anc (Harass) 19:08, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah... that's the old one. We updated it because people were tired of looking at it. And the new one conforms with that of wikipedia's.   t o m p k i n s  blah. ﺞوﻦ וףה ՃՄ ண்ஸ ފއހ วอฏม +տ trade websites 19:18, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

ah yes, the color confused me, I think blue might be better perhaps; I'll colorise it with Photoshop and see, if I think it isn't bad, I'll upload it here to look at. --Olipro Co-Anc (Harass) 21:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually, blue was the first colour I was going for when making the logo. I can tell you I didn't like what I saw... Just didn't look like a potato anymore... --⇔ Sir Mon€¥$ign^STFU F@H|NS|+S 21:37, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

heh, I think it's misshapen enough that you can see it's a potato... I don't think the orangy-brown is very fresh... I think blue is slightly nicer on the eye, but have at it... --Olipro Co-Anc (Harass) 21:41, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

First of all, who's Miss Hapen, and what did she do? And secondly: it would look like a deformed globe to an untrained eye, methinks... --⇔ Sir Mon€¥$ign^STFU F@H|NS|+S 21:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

In all honesty... did it really look like a potato to the untrained eye in the first place... --Olipro Co-Anc (Harass) 22:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

What? The UnNews logo or the Uncyclopedia logo? In case of the former: I made the logo... So yeah... Of course it looked like a potato to me. Don't know about the untrained eye... In case of the latter: nope... Not at all... Took me quite some time to figure it out, even... --⇔ Sir Mon€¥$ign^STFU F@H|NS|+S 22:13, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

uncyclopedia logo? I thought it was a potato, the UnNews logo? ugly weird shaped globe (which actually makes more sense, since Wikinews uses a globe... so with all things considered... that's probably a good inbetween)... I'm toying with putting that blue one over the brown... you can always revert it if people suddenly spaz out, right? --Olipro Co-Anc (Harass) 23:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I actualy though it was suposed to look like the map of the world with the US a lot larger than it is in real life (I think a spitting image annual did a similar thing with britian one time) as some sort of comment on their blinkered world view or something....... after a month or two I realised it was surposed to be a spud.--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur.

Yep, that about sums it up I think, right I'm going to give the blue one a spin... and whoever was it that said "change is good"... :P --Olipro Co-Anc (Harass) 01:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

While the blue logo is more parodic and it looks very good, I prefer Money's original. I do think it has potatoish qualities (but of course, I've been in the Uncyc potato vibe for more than a year now, so maybe I'm just seeing potatoes everywhere I look now). --—rc (t) 06:30, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Olipro i like ur logo better. Any ways the right potato in the forum logo looks like a chicken nugget 2 me.--Da, Y?YY?YYY?:-:CUN³ NotM BLK |_LG⁷+::: 07:39, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I prefer the blue one too. You can't tell any of the logos are potatos anyway. Unless of course, you are here since the ancient potato logo's times, like RC.--Rataube 12:37, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I think you people (well, at least you, Rataube) prefer the blue now because it's new and refreshing, if you know what I mean.... I think people would prefer the brown one if it was blue originally... In other words: leave my poor ickle logo alone!! :'( --⇔ Sir Mon€¥$ign^STFU F@H|NS|+S 12:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Mmmmm, maybe being new does help the blue version. But I recall that the issue of the colour was brought up from the very beggining and I still think the level of potatoishness isn't relevant. Anyway, both are great and both are yours, so what's the problem?--Rataube 13:00, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't want to step on your toes or anything (and yeah, it's still your fantastic design!!!), it's just part of my anally retentive quest for a more WikiNews'ish layout; I'm not trying to monopolize it... much --Olipro Co-Anc (Harass) 13:07, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I've chucked this out too; just to maybe get some creative sparks flowing whatever, and I'm not suggesting this for the logo, just throwing shite around really :) oh joy... --Olipro Co-Anc (Harass) 13:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

These suggestions (or, the suggestions in the form of images) should probably be put into Uncyclopedia:Logos (where many of the current custom namespace logos were voted on, although some we put up just as a test). --Splaka 03:37, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I think the logo should be red and dripping with blood. It'd be new, edgy, and exciting! Sorry, just had to get that little non-helpful comment out of the way. I personally like whatever logo we want to go with, but I prefer the one we've been using (aka, the brown one). That's just my two cents...--<<>> 21:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I prefer MoneySign's original. --Bear 12:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
