Magnificent as always.

by **Kelric** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 2:31 am

Fantastic 4-Cock. :lol:

We should have seen that one coming. (No additional pun intended.)

Still, when do we get a good picture of Keira Knightley on the cover?

by **ATB** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 7:07 am

That logo is awesome and should become the official one.

by **The Meal** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 7:44 am

Definitely the best logo (and tag line) yet. Superb job, HT!!

PS. Who's THM?

Holy crap yeah. That logo is the Bee's Knees.

by **baron calamity** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 8:04 am

Yeah the logo rocks. (though I like the current one as well)

So when is someone going to setup the cafe press account?

by **Trent Steel** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 8:14 am

I would love to have that t-shirt.

I don't know if it should become the official one, but it's the best one I have seen so far, so so far it has my vote as well. I don't have all of the arty reasons to define why, but I like it. It's unique and it's boyant and friendly.

The tentacles don't give me nightmares - that's good enough reason for me.

In case I forgot to mention - Jessica Alba - hot.

by **rrmorton** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:07 am

Yeah, that's a killer logo. It's not at all similar to the Quarter to Three eyeball PLUS it's (appropriately) reminiscent of the Day of the Tentacle.

In other news, it sucks being away from the forum on vacation all week and then not getting any of the OO Mag cover jokes.

by **EvilHomer3k** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:15 am

I'm a big fan of the logo as well. Cartoony but menacing. Now, if it could just use it's mind powers to convince Ms Alba that I'm her destiny...

by **Debris** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:17 am

Love the logo, love the headlines, love the jokes.

Great issue all around.

by **Jancelot** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:24 am

Awesome logo and another great job all around.

by **Spiff** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:34 am

Logo is incredible, issue is incredible, and Jessica Alba - INCREDIBLE in that shirt.

Wonderful as always HT.

Nice catch, Neal. Quality Control will be severely flogged.

Okay, pic fixed and updated. 8)

by **Guy Incognito** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:37 am

Score! It feels good, let me soak in the moment.

Moving on. The logo rocks. I may even lurve it :ninja:

for Taco

by **baron calamity** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:41 am

Any chance we could just get the logo and the tag as a photoshop file? I feel a need to print out a poster for work.

by **tgb** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 10:30 am

Great job, as usual

by **LawBeefaroni** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 10:33 am

Another gem.

by **PR_GMR** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 10:39 am

'First there are kisses/Then there are sighs"

Comedy. Gold.

Awesome as always, Hell's Taco.

Jessica Alba? Finally sir you are legit!

Bravo!

No. Until there is an Alicia Witt cover, all of these are just practice.

by **Caine** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 12:56 pm

damn good stuff there ht, as always. i love the f4 color scheme this week.

by **Hell's Taco** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 10:38 pm

As per some requests (well, two) here is the logo by itself.

I'd like to thank Quipp for the copy editing (although how he guessed my password "benwaballs" I'll never know). But I tell you what, some childr...er...employees are going to get fired at the sweatsh...er..studio.

Aha! First with the new avatar! (And wallpaper.)

by **Sparhawk** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 11:12 pm

May I use that as a spray in Counter-Strike?

by **CeeKay** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 11:28 pm

Say, aren't there websites online where you can get custom tshirts made? We could start the OO Store!

Great work as always HT. Have a cookie!

I didn't realize that was a little rhyming poem until the second time I read it. Nice.

I would take either one with the black background on a T-shirt. On the back: "Puppies are Bullshit" or "Get her drunk and put it in the butt" or "Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure"

by **KingB** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:05 am

Pure genius HT. We definately need Cafe Press shirts. Make it happen HT.

by **jpinard** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 4:42 am

SWEET!

by **ATB** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 7:29 am

And just like that, ATB has a new background

It looks fabulous HT. Thanks SO much.

by **SirReal** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 7:41 am

That's an awsome logo which promptly made it's way to my desktop. Now, if only HT would be so kind as to render it at 1600x1200 so those jaggies go away...

by **baron calamity** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 7:57 am

Villagers need high rez....badly

Yeah. Make it high rez.

by **ATB** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 8:08 am

BTW- My official response to those who ask what Octopus Overlords is (has already happened here at work thanks to the new background):

'I would tell you but then I'd have to eat your brain.'

by **Bad Demographic** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 9:09 am

Excellent response, ATB!

by **Guy Incognito** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 10:21 am

Sweet, now I have a new background

[PETITION]
Powers that be, please cut a deal with HT to offer OO shirts / etc for the masses. We wants them! We needs them!
