There's been an interesting discussion going on over on The Shin Guardian regarding the USA's soccer logo. The one now is bad, real bad. I've been talking about that for a while now with friends. The colors are wrong. The use of "US" instead of "USA" is wrong. The clipart looking soccer ball is wrong. It's just bad. So, I decided to come up with some alternative ideas and using my limited graphics knowledge, put some of them together. So here it goes.

I have decided to re-dedicate myself to this blog. I think I have said that before, but this time I mean it. (insert snicker here).

I'm going to listen that one again, just so it sets in more.
