Casting Call

protein wisdom, the breakfast of Jane Campion, will soon be undergoing a dramatic redesign and is openly soliciting for a site slogan and logo. We encourage all suggestions.

And by we, I mean me. But we sounds much cooler. So, y’know. We.

[update: Well, at least no animals were harmed in the making of this. Which is a plus.

update 2: It turns out “Catalano” is Italian for “that ain’t buttermilk, my brother.”]

    What the hell for?

    Your site loads well, reads well, has nice tight composition, and though a little stingy on carrion, is nigh on perfect.

  2. Jeff G says:

    Hmm, well thanks Kate.  I sometimes have trouble with the site loading on this end, so I just assumed others were having that same problem.  Does no one else experience this?

  3. zombyboy says:

    There should be more girl bottoms.

    That is all.

  4. michele says:

    I have a logo making obsession.

    What do you have in mind?

  5. Jeff G says:

    Gosh, I don’t really know. Something kinda simple and classy that (conversely) captures the personality of this site.  Any ideas?

  6. Sounds like a cute girl bottom.

  7. John Beck says:

    I never have a problem with the site loading, for what that’s worth.  On a side note: white space is a good thing.  The current layout is easier on the eyes than 99% of blogs out there.

  8. Jeff G says:

    Yeah, I’ll be keeping the white background and if anything, increasing the white space.  Too much clutter here.  I’m thinking of darkening the text a bit, too.

  9. zombyboy says:

    Richard understands completely…

  10. michele says:

    Cute girl bottoms can work.

    I even have one.

  11. jeremy says:

    A slogan should be easier.  My own suggestion would be “Judd Nelson-Approved Since 2004”

  12. andy says:

    I have problems with the site loading, but I wonder if that’s due to the order in which you’re calling the various third-party javascript components.  It always loads, though, after a delay of maybe 4-5 seconds.

    As for design ideas: monkeys, monkeys, monkeys!

  13. Matt Moore says:

    Only problem I have is with your damn cookies, but I’ve spent way too long trying to fix that already.

  14. Jim says:

    Slogans:

    “Cholesterol-free blogging!”

    “Remember the Maine!”

    “Return to abnormalcy.”

    “A plot for every chicken.”

    “Free Henry Weinhard!”

    “Not approved by Michael Moore.”

    “Never been indicted.”

  15. John Beck says:

    I assume the reason the Remember personal info? tool doesn’t work for me is the same cookie problem Matt is referring to.  Anyway, I found that the technorati javascript slows things down painfully from time to time at my own site (other times its no source of delay at all).  Moving it as far down in your HTML as possible might help.  Basically, what Andy said.

  16. michele says:

    If he’s going for a slogan, I’ve already given him a good one.

    My second favorite source of protein!

    We could work with that – I’m thinking logo already….

    No kids read this blog, right? Or your parents?
