Title: Symbolism and branding
Post by: Antigen on March 24, 2006, 12:42:00 PM

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism.
--Albert Einstein, German-born American physicist

Kidding about what?

It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was
made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.
There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to
govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be
masters.

--Daniel Webster

Yeah, of course you do. Any idea which bogus reaculturation program borrowed the theme from the other? Or is it that both logos harken to some other common theme?

The world may never know. But you'll lap it all up like cotton candy, Lauderdale. Of this we can all be quite sure.

Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism--how passionately I hate them!

If you have faith as small as that grain of mustard seed you will say to a mountain to move from here to there, and it will! Then He said, ?NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE UNTO YOU!?

Believe me I'm not a very religious person, but that is a powerful message .  Just forget about "the seed" for a second.  

People beliving in me , made a difference.

Gee, you would think the feds would have gone for the classic symbolism here, not some new fangled bastardization.  

Classically, knowledge has always been represented by one symbol: the lamp. As in the lamp of knowledge...lighting the way...taking us out of the darkness.

Leave it to the powers that be to attempt this kind of subtle "re-education" starting with pictures.  Picutres of things that filter light.

It's just the colors and the overall impression that caught my eye. Can't find a thing about the artist or even when DOE adopted it.

Yeah...yeah.... all that green and yellow ...there must be a connection....or maybe there is a partrige in a pear tree. You can't see it because the tree is blocking it, but there are 9 pipers pipeing and 10 ladies dancing behingd the tree also.  You weren't smoking any of the leaves from the branches ? Were you? :rofl: [ This Message was edited by: Ft. Lauderdale on 2006-03-27 05:47 ]

No, I wasn't smoking the leaves of the tree of knowldege, that's got to be obvious.  There's not enough knowledge to go around as it is.  And, if I were to start stipping the leaves off this government tree for my own benefit, where would that leave the rest of you?

Hey, I looked and squinted and strained and I don't see no stinkin' partridge either.  Is there anyway to flip this logo over and verify  Ft.Laudale's story?  :wink:

Did you Florida folks buy buttons?  In Cleveland we had seed buttons.  They looked very much like the seal Endora found just tackier.  I used to wear mine to school.  It was the last seed thing I got rid of.  

Mustard seed necklaces were popular too, among the chicks, the seed however didn't sell those.

Oh and those copies of the serenity prayer laquered on plaques which, were a common gift among seedlings.  Gawd Awful!

I have a seed button at my house!  Someone mailed it to me after a long conversation.

Anyway, we used to wear our buttons everywhere.  If we didn't, our parents would accusingly ask us why it wasn't on.

So, we wore the damn thing all the time.
