| This is the 2nd Generation Empty Digital Headache. I did it on Photoshop and am actually pretty proud of it. It's cropped from a larger image, and the idea is the Avatar is raising itself out of the digital stream. |
...'Nothing But Lines On Your Computer Screen.' It captures my thoughts about this medium and encompasses the digital head concept.
 |
| At the first BoLSCon I brought a picture of the 1st Generation Avatar, which I still use in places. Strictly Average was new, but even then I was trying to build a brand. |
I'm in El Paso with family friends, as I described in my last post, so I'm away from home and all my myriad toys. Still, I thought it would be fun to drop a quick post...
 |
| The eye is the seat of the soul. I painted this, trying to capture that portal effect. |
...and I've always enjoyed the many incarnations of the logo! I got a laugh out of it, even if nobody else did!
 |
| This was just an odd one! I went to the dentist, found my numb face could contort unnaturally, so I snapped some shots and inverted the colors. I figured that wasn't a bad Not Brent. |
 |
| Me and Goatboy teamed up for the Team Tournament. The plan is me and Dethtron will team up for the next... currently we're thinking Tau, but with a twist! |
I built a real-scale Empty Digital Headache from styrofoam and plaster, then painted it. I took this to the 2nd BoLSCon, er... Wargames Con. Anyone notice the Storm Buster, the Dyson Pattern Strictly Average Storm Raven? I took that along for fun, just to sit on my display board. I'm currently 'fixing' it, so be prepared for that in the next few weeks!
 |
| One of the Chaotic Gribblies, a Team Tournament team, posed with it... I simply love this picture. It was 10am Goat and I had already partaken of adult beverages. We had a blast that day! |
Both versions of the logo made it on my Dice Cup - one of my prized possessions! Big Whit no longer does these, so I'm glad I've got mine.
Not Brent and I are in agreement about one thing - Shiner Bock is the best beer. Anything with 'Bud' or 'Coors' or 'Miller' in front of it probably tastes like water.
I get that some of you won't dig my logo obsession, but I've always had fun with it. More to the point, though, I know for a fact it's helped people out in the Blogosphere identify with Strictly Average. With so many blogs to choose from, how do you distinguish yours?

Hope everythings going well up there. I think I managed to get a first post on Bell for your bat rep.
I've got a flower, and I'm a girl. Plus, I use a lot of words.
Now I know yer really evil .
:P
Hee !!
G
How do I identify the blog I do most of my work for?
One word:
Pink.
I love your logo changes, tbh. lol
I preferred the 1st (so far) but like the inventiveness, and rebranding process.
As for my own branding - my own inimitable style of commentary, a bit of trolling jerkwads, and some chatbawks whoring. lol
Actually, been thinking about a new MWFTW logo recently. Plus, a new tagline, to replace "Call That a Refused Flank?"...
Great last couple of posts!! I particularly like the paint removal article-, really struggled with that in past trying to save money. I wanted to see what you were working on outside of your podcast at www.offtopical.com
You generated a lot of excitement with the upcoming 40K episode!! Everyone should check it out, especially the interview. Thanks for all the hard work.

Cynthia,
I'm pretty excited about the upcoming Warhammer 40K episode, but there's no point bringing it up just yet. The Blogosphere has a short memory, so I won't plug it until a week before the official GW press release.
