I’d rather recruit people who accept all. I love our community and changing a discord logo is the least of my worries. There's a difference between supporting something and pushing it in people's faces. One is alright and the other is not needed.

I never said I assumed someone’s a bigot because they don’t have every marginalized community represented as part of their decor. I don’t have any flags or decorations that would imply my allyship with those communities either. For better or for worse I tend to see humanity in a far better light than it is, especially for marginalized communities. So a nice little gesture is a bit of a beacon of hope for me. And at the end of the day hockey has not historically been for everyone, nor would I come close to suggesting it is today, so yes, as long as that’s still true I think we still need to be open and vocal about or support of all people joining the league. I’ll only assume you’re a bigot if you’re actions suggest it, but not everyone has that privilege. jRuutu, McLovin, kirbithan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logo is rather irrelevant. I hardly think that’s pushing anything in anyone’s face. AJW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom 1,445 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 The fact that a simple logo made this buzz prove us that it is not useless and there is still progress to do in 2023.

Outside of the portal banner in the HOF tab, there's no clear indication anywhere else on the forum or discord as to who won championships in the league. We don't do forum banners anymore, and we stopped doing server logo colors as well for the LGBTQ logo. Also your second sentence is pretty odd, because why would you ever change it if no one asks for it? I don't think the whole "in your face" argument that this thing started with has any merit, but do you randomly decide to take down the logo for something else in a year or two if no one says anything?

I don’t think it was ever intentionally stopped really. I feel like every time Fong had asked for it in the past, someone stepped up to make it. Don't think someone making the logos is an issue with how many graphics folks we have. I think one of the main reasons that I heard from one of the mods/old blues (Maybe quik?) was that people complained if Pride month overlapped with some team's time to have their colors, so they stopped changing it altogether. If no team's colors got cut off, then no one could complain about having less time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape 670 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I for one would like the logo color to be constantly changing, as it really helps breathe life into the server. Holidays? Holiday themed logo. VHL champion? VHL champion themed logo. WJC winners? WJC winner themed logo. etc. etc. etc. Have some fun with it. Stagnation is not a good look and while I have no quarrel with the pride-themed logo, it's time for a fresh coat of paint.

The flag is there every time I walk by the building, rain or shine. It has been there for months. As I walk by, I often wonder do they leave the flag on the balcony to support the community, or as a joke to mock the community. Do you think that there are a large number of people who fly/hang their country's flag as a joke to mock the country? Is there a difference? People who choose to show the flag are likely not doing it to mock, mostly because anybody who would choose to mock that probably wouldn't want to be ever thought of as a supporter. If 7 colours get you riled up enough to write about it, you should probably look inward and ask why it bothers you so much. Inclusivity is never a bad thing. tcookie and jRuutu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJW 2,155 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 So is someone gonna make a new discord logo or are we just gonna keep replying to this thread?

This is the only important part of this whole stupid thread. If I can get someone to give me an image resolution that works for wherever it will be put, I can make a banner. Not having it obvious as to who the current champions are needs to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJW 2,155 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I think in honor of rutuu this needs to be the new discord logo.

Yea I'm aware that doing that would not necessarily be possible. It's simply a suggestion and just an idea to keep the logo fresh and the community breathing. Doesn't need to be that extensive.

Daniel Janser 2,155 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) Okay my controversial take on this: Which colour of this LGBTQIA+++ rainbow stands for the 'straight' people? If there is none, would that not suggest (and I know this not to be true) that rainbow people are explicitly welcome, but we do not extend the same courtesy to 'straight' people? Does it not signal exclusivity rather than inclusivity if (perceptibly) the red carpet is rolled out for one demographic, but the others are not mentioned? If you see a restaurant or a shop with a sign 'Swiss welcome', and you happen to be not Swiss, do you feel welcomed? I think our community is welcoming any kind of people from all walks of live, don't get me wrong, but we are with or without (virtue)-signalling it by a flag, which only represents a minority of people. EDIT: Having said that, I am with Beketov on 'blind-sided' take, i.e. I did not realize that the VHL logo was rainbow coloured, until Ruutu brought it up.
