New front door

May I be the first to express approval of the new entrance to the NWC website. Everything I need is right at my fingertips.

Do you mean the script "NW"? I don't know. It's pretty enough, but it still looks like "MW" to me.

Did we lost a "B" before the logo then?

I like the new "glow" logo, as well as the new home page. Very clear & easy to understand.

It does look nice, but two things I noticed: 1) The front page runs off the screen just slightly on 640 X 480 (Yeah, I know, who uses that? But I'm really into browser compatability) 2) Text links appear on the 404 page (Yeah, I guess that doesn't matter much either). Other than that, the site is fine, and I don't really care about site updates. (The old site was fine.) I just want program updates. IMHO, of course.

OK, I promise not to make another post about these little things, but on the 404 page while browsing through the archives, the new logo is replaced by a missing graphic icon.

I'm with you Grant - looks like MoteWorthy is here to stay.

Thanks for the 404 error report. We shall get that fixed.

Given Eric and Beth's renowned attention to detail, perhaps "MoteWorthy" is entirely appropriate.

Turn the logo upside down and it's an acronym for "More Walue."

No, turning the logo upside down doesn't change a thing, (as intended I guess), as for "newman" logo design (by the inventor of the "design concept" iirc)

Using a mirror effect (bottom|up or left|right) would gives (supposingly "mw" at the start) "WM" : WantMore, as many users always thirsty of novelty.

As a song says, "the best is yet to come"... Having seen what i saw until today, what a joy it will be :)

WN is not bad either (? or "too"??) : Want Noteworthy :)

Backwards it would mean 'Worth More' but strangely we never see it backwards because just as the logo turns edge-on a little elf flicks it over ;-)

But as it is N and W, it would finally mean "Worthy, No?"

The new web page is very nicely laid out. More convenient to use, and more professional in appearance. Well done, Noteworthians.

The logo? well it looks like a worm with hiccups when it's just by itself at the top of the opening page, but more like a beltbuckle when it has a circle around it.

Who cares, it is unique, it probably cost a million dollars to design, and it does bring us to our favourite website, doesn't it?

We can only hope it didn't cost a million dollars.

I'm reminded of the story about the time NBC paid several million dollars for a new logo, and the designer came up with a big blocky two-color "N". It turned out that this was essentially the same as Nebraska Public TV's logo, which had been designed by a staffer in his spare time.

That reminds me... at one college I know of, they used to have a logo for "re-entry students" showing the outline of a woman and child. Of course, most of the re-entry students were moms whose kids were now in school. But the feminists decided that a newer logo was needed. The winner was a design remarkably similar to the shoulder patch worn by the neo-Nazis in Pink Floyd's "The Wall" movie.
