Thats awesome Joe. Could we fit the lafcpug logo there rather than the red and white lafcpug sign or am I mucking with your creativity? Hmmmm....might look like a logo though and not a billboard. Never mind.

:-)

Dont ask me about the Global Icon thing Corbett. Makes zero sense to me.

"wait why is it illegal to take a picture of a hill and then do the lafcpug like the hollywood sign?"
because lawyers with money behind them say so.

there's a story i read about a guy called Rohan Rohur i think.
in the '60s he had a bunch of prints of old silent movies.
they were probably public domain, but because he showed his a lot he started acting like he owned them.
he actualy started suing other people who also had copies and showed them.
i think he may have won a case in some teritory, and that sort of created some precedent.
so in the end he kind of did own them, although he never really did.

in a way he was a creeep and a bully,
but he was also partly responsible for re-introducing Buster Keaton to the public,
which helped Keaton (who was starving in obscurity) no end.


great work, Joey.
i thought i was looking at the original pic Mike posted for a while.

and i must say whoever did the original hill design did an excellent job.

So now we can be sued for things that remind lawyers of things they represent.

anywho, i think that joe has the ticket on this design.

Yeah, this is no contest. I'd use it even if there were. Joey, can you send me this at a size that will fit in the slide show?

I'll put it up this week.

Thanks for doing it.

Mike,

Absolutely. What is the pixel size / kb you need from me?

BTW...I did the layout you see because I was motivated by the retro feel of that billboard. The LAFCPUG logo just wouldn't look right there to me.

30W? ...don't understand what that means Mike. I need a Pixel Aspect Ratio to compress to (400x300, etc)

The few things I remember from LA - a very dark comedy club, a weird hotdog shop that was an actual big hot dog that you sat inside, the boulevarde, the bowl, the walk of fame, the chinese restaurant, a very large house in bright pink, a very nice kingsize bed and VHS right to your room!

Don't forget the lawyers.....though its funny, 6 of the 9 things on your list are on mine. No pink house, kingside bed or VHS (what decade did you go to LA????)

I think it was 1990. A lot of cars seems to have wood on them, too. Or possibly that was San Diego. It's all a bit of a blur now.
