I just wanted to let you know that the new logo is almost ready! The voting was neck-and-neck on the poll I ran the other day, and I got a ton of great comments here on the blog and on my Facebook page.Cocktails won the poll by the tiniest margin, but I decided to go with the coffee cup. Here's why: one of my readers said the most amazingly wise thing: "I vote for coffee, because, as far as I know, too much coffee never destroyed a family (but I'm totally with you on a nice alcoholic drink at the end of the day)."
That kinda sealed it for me. As much as I enjoy a Frodka on a Friday night, I don't ever want to send the message that boozing it up is the best way for moms to burn off stress. It might be one of the ways, and gosh it's fun, but it's not really what I'm all about.
Coffee, however ... I really can't get through the day without it.
I know y'all love the crazy lady with the shiny pots, and I love her too. I call her Trixie. But sometimes when you love someone, you have to set them free. Like when you don't own the image and you're afraid you'll get sued for copyright infringement. And you have enough anxiety in your life without wondering if the people who make S.O.S. pads are going to hunt you down and pelt you with steel wool.
Also? You know who owns S.O.S. pads now? The good people at Clorox. And I freaking love Clorox. I love Clorox like other people like Cinnabon. So I'm not really down with the idea that maybe I'm kind of stealing from them.
Seriously, you're going to love the new logo. It's not even completely done and I already love it. The incredibly talented mommy/writer/artist behind the blog Pregnant Chicken is making my new logo awesome. You're going to have to trust me on this one.
Can't wait to see it!! What a great comment - I voted for the cocktail, but would switch my vote after that comment!
ReplyDelete@Evelyn - Thanks. I was blown away by that comment too.
ReplyDeletei love the comment too! and the coffe cup the size of a helmet! mommies run on coffee!!
ReplyDeleteLet me set my cup of coffee down so I can write this comment: thumbs up.
ReplyDeleteThe comment is pretty powerful, too.
I can go without alcohol. But a day without coffee? Headache. Literally.
And if Mommy has a headache, no one's happy.
I can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteMy kids have a running joke that's not really a joke: "NOBODY wants Mommy to run out of coffee."
ReplyDeleteEven in the summer? I've never quite understood that. I start my days with Coca-Cola and survive on it throughout.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Rebecca. I'd die without my coca-cola... actually I'm probably dying faster WITH it... lol. But I think there really is crack in there, cause I am NOT a happy mommy if I don't have a coke.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so glad you like it.
ReplyDeleteThat pic of the sojer with the canteen cup has some history behind it. One of the bloggers with whom I used to communicate posted the pic, with the caption, "Have a nice cup of STFU!"
ReplyDeleteIt turned out that the guy who was the actual subject of that picture lived just long enough to see it on the 'net, and didn't like it. His family objected. I dunno, if I were he, I would have gone with the flow.
