I think the current logo looks a bit tired so made a new one. Feel free to use it if you want, and if you want any changes let me know.

Really nice, the colors, and how the font matches the dress! Only thing, it looks to me like she has 4 arms?

Maybe include a guitarrist in there? In small, under the text... to show that they are unimportant, ahahaha...
But cool, you are actually the first one who made a concrete proposal.

That dancer is from a photo by Lois Greenfield. She probably holds the copyright and could sue the foro for unauthorized use. Are there any other images you can use? Maybe from long-dead artists or stuff in the public domain?

Hi Leo,
you were asking about that head stock. Check out andulusian guitars?
I think you will find Ruben playing one! I think the signature could
be Paco's

RE: Forum logo (in reply to Kubase)

No, NO NO please leave the logo alone. I can't stand all of this change bullsh*t to freshen stuff up, make it more modern, to improve it, it is tired, we need to appeal to the younger generation, the metrosexuals, blah blah blah. There is nothing wrong with keeping things the same. Hey, if change is so good, lets change the Montreal Canadiens Logo!

I think the real innovation nowadays is to leave things as they are and connect to the past - if you can stomach it. That takes guts and innovation imho. Do it creatively and you got something.

Stuff is changing fast enough that it is nice some stuff stays the same.

Like does anyone miss the old ABC Sports theme music and visuals, crashing skier anr all - now what do they got, can anyone remember what it is? I haven't watched ABC in years, they are becoming irrelevant and have no anchor to hold onto. And look what CBC did, let the Hockey Night in Canada theme song go! The list goes on of disasterous changes - like New Coke. No I am not an old curmudgeon but I think I am getting there!

I think you should keep the font. But you should use a pic of Belen Maya.

But maybe a green dress wouldn't look right with this forum theme.

Different logos, with different coloured dresses to go with the them colours... but the same font.

That sounds like it. Here it is without the film and the sponsor announcements:

It sounded bigger somehow in my memories.

Yes, exactly like that one!!!!

Is New Coke that old? What was that coke with 50% diet / 50% regular. I liked that one, I limited both my sugar and chemical intake.

Pepsi had a drink marketed for a short while recently called Pepsi Free - where the said in the advertisement that it was made with real sugar (it was cane sugar). Who was the genius behind that one!!!

True, and that red one is very handsome, but I think the green is kind of a trademark for her.

IIRC she was wearing a copy of the green dress from Saura's Flamenco in the beginning of Dibujos.

She always wears the green in my dreams too...

Hey, maybe a white dress with polka dots and a black top would look real good???

Lunares. Yes! That's exactly what our logo needs. You may be on to something here.

RE: Forum logo (in reply to Kubase)

The red-dress Belen Maya is probably now a public-domain image. It's all over the internet.

All we'd need is some creative Photoshop work to turn the top black, turn the skirt white, and then add polka dots.

Duh sorry if I sound dumb but surely a guitarist would better represent this forum than a dancer in a bata de cola of whatever colour.

Ok very funny, just read the whole thread and see you are all having a laugh. Ignore me.
Just a thought but Belen speaks English am sure she will be amused when this pops up in her google alert !!!

RE: Forum logo (in reply to Kubase)

Ahh we are back on the logo again.. cool. I remember we did this for the other foro which is now the Traditional only foro. I don't agree with the bailaora pic...I mean c'mon how many of us are really dancers here in the FORO? I appreciate cante y baile but I think this is predominantly a guitarist/luthier's foro...Amen to that!

I suggest we use a flamenca blanca as the logo..maybe a peghead for peghead lovers

or have some talented forum member(s) contribute their own design and we can vote on it...I know Doit and a few other will have some ideas especially with their Photoshop skills

Just my 2 centavos..

It may be that a tocaor might be more representative, however, I thought we still harboured ambitions of having a more diverse membership. At least so we could pick their brains for the stuff we don't know ourselves...

Or was I wrong about that?

BTW Kate:

I'm always serous when I mention Ms. Maya. She's a dream.

If everyone had that attitude there wouldn't even be a Foro Flamenco.

True. The best thing we'd be able to do would be to write lots of letters to everyone simultaneously, ... assuming that we managed to all meet in the first place ... in some bar in some neutral part of the world that was easily accessible to all of us.

Or we could ask phone operators to put together some sort of conference call.
