Perhaps it’s because I’m not feeling too hot, but my mind is wandering something fierce today. But nevertheless, I want to poll the populace; if Hooniverse had a coat of arms, what would it look like?
I’m going to take this one step further, and open it up as a contest. I can’t show you the prize yet, as I don’t have it, but I have something quite beautiful in mind. So for those of you who are either great paper artists, or masters of Photoshop, fire up your pencils (or pencil-simulating objects). Design me a Hooniverse Coat of Arms.
Not so great with either? That’s fine, help out those who are! A proper coat of arms needs a slogan in latin at the bottom. Get creative, come up with a proper motto; or help us figure out what should be on the crest, or holding the crest up, or surrounding it, or what have you.
If you have a finished product — or even just a proof of concept — send it to me at dearthair at hooniverse.com with “Contest” in the subject line.
For those who are curious, here’s my thought. I was out and about the other day, and stumbled across one of the many Bentley Continentals in this area. The fellow getting into it was quite pretentious, and had what appeared to be his family crest emblazoned across his chest; the problem, however, was that the logo appeared to be held up by a pair of dead fish. Not something I’d personally be proud of. So that got me thinking; Hooniverse needs a similarly pretentious logo that we can emblazon on… stuff… like the LeMons racer, or the Corrado, or Graverobber.
Bonus points for humour, obviously. We don’t take ourselves seriously around here.
On your marks, get set, GO!
