We need a better wreath! :)
 
It looks likes its just pasted on top of the LOGO. :D In short, it looks odd.

Mebbe design it into the LOGO? Or have the yellow part of the LOGO go thru the actual hole in the wreath...???

Jingle, jingle. :D And Merry Christmas to ya Randy!

I still think it looks like a stuck-on pastie. That's prolly b/c the hole in the wreath 'covers up' a bit of the underlying yellow that should show thru. Graphic artist (or lack of one) in me I guess... Seems visually odd to have blank space cover the yellow.

But pasties and lights? Oh boy! :D

It does look like it's floating... but I like it! ^

But where is the Kwanza stick? :mad:

How about the Festivus Pole? :mad:

I agree it looks odd. But the most outrageous thing is that NOWHERE does it reference Christmas! I am appalled. :P

I turned on FT this morning and saw the wreath and thought "now that's cool" ..... and a half hour later saw this thread.

Sheeessh.

Hey, I like the wreath a lot better than the Olive Oil and Popeye stick heads next to it -- a year or so later and they still look weird to me. ;)

(I know, I know, all about the research etc. However they still look weird to me.)

Let's stick the wreath around both their necks is my vote. :D)

While that is a good observation, the main reason why the wreath looks as though like it is a “stuck-on pastie” is because the FlyerTalk logo is anti-aliased and the wreath is aliased.

In other words, the pixels of the defined edges of the FlyerTalk logo, if one looks at it closely, are somewhat “blurred” where the color from one side of a defined edge blends into the color on the other side of a defined edge. That is not happening in the wreath, where the edges look pixelated and have no “blur” whatsoever.

A minute or two of simple minor adjustments in Adobe Photoshop will correct this problem.

Aaah, somebody else sees it too . I actually meant this post as a constructive comment. Thanks for your thoughts and keen eye. :D

So I'm now thinking two minutes in Photoshop as mentioned - and perhaps a lowering of the wreath by 1/16-1/32 of an inch - so that the green covers the yellow as it circles around - will fix the visual problem.

Happy Holidays, all.

Well if you really want to see an ugly wreath, you could take a look at the handrawn Xmas tree, wreath, snowman, manorrah on my holiday letters (holiday phrase chosen years before the PC controversy this year ;) ! )

I say leave the wreath alone & get back to travel posting, or are you trying to pad your posts to get to 6K tvl4free :D

Cheers.
