Now, I'm going to look silly....
I like the new logo.
Pity that it will always be 29 degrees for the next five years
No, I really do like it.
(lol, it has probably been there for months and I haven't noticed)

No, I've just done it. The idea occurred to me while watching a DVD last night (we're currently part way through series 2) when I remembered that "Cumulus" starts with a chemical symbol. It did also occur to me that with a bit of work it could show current weather data rather than the actual details for copper...

Love it, but where do you stop?
Cu : Copper (Atomic No. 29)
Mu : Greek letter, derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water.
Lu : Lutetium (Atomic No. 71)
S : Sulphur (Atomic No. 16)

Keep the font the same throughout.
Cater for custom backgrounds.
Incorporate weather and location data.
Err... hang on... that's a... err... banner

Hmm. The logo has to look like it does, otherwise it wouldn't be what it is. I'd assumed I was the last person in the world to have heard of
Breaking Bad and hence the new logo didn't need any explanation!

Lol, you have too much faith in Bulgarian TV (I didn't know that Shameless (UK) existed until I happened to see the US version in the early hours and that was produced seven years later) and, unless it is shown primetime on UK TV (so a. I can actually recognise that it exists and b. that I can watch it on filmon.com without falling asleep after thirty seconds) then fat chance. Now that you have embarrassed me, I'll look out for it.
Well... now I've read about it on imdb.com

It's rumoured Rab C Nesbitt is going to create a rival site. He's going to call his...
Cu Jimmy.

I preferred the old Cumulus symbol, at least it was descriptive of weather & what one would expect to see at a weather forum. The new one could be anything, even a chemical factory.
