The Empty Digital Headache

The logo for Strictly Average, from the very beginning, is the Empty Digital Headache.  The site has a number of mottos, the two most notable being, 'Because 6-inches is All You Get' and 'Stalking Jawaballs Since 2009' but the most subtle (and probably the most accurate) is...

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.

(Not Brent is a much longer story... which probably won't be drug out into the light anytime soon.)

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?
