Subject: Coming Soon: The "Bob" Icon From: modemac@modemac.com (Modemac) Newsgroups: alt.binaries.slack Date: Mon, Jul 3, 2000 6:04 PM

One of the *many* highlights of XXX-Day was the WORLD PREMIERE of the NEW LOGO for the Church of the SubGenius: The "Bob" Icon! No, the Dobbshead is not being phased out - for that is IMPOSSIBLE, as we all know. BUT, a NEW MEME has been introduced for us to use to infiltrate the new, modern world of the Conspiracy. The New Logo is a simple symbol: a circle with four lines and a checkmark in it, representing a "new" image of "Bob."

Personally, I love it. It's very clique-ish, as it represents a secret society (us) where only the *true* SubGenii wiill recognize the logo. The Dobbshead is everywhere, and any moron can (and does) rip it off and use it for whatever. But the "Bob" Icon represents only one thing: SLACK.

More importantly -- especially for non-artistic types like me - the new logo is EASY TO DRAW. It represents yet another new evolution for Church of the SubGenius, as the Foundation enters the 21st century and updates its image -- just like those corporations who make their logos "simple" yet "easy to recognize," so that it can be inserted ANYWHERE.

For example - the old Walt Disney Company's logo was Mickey Mouse. Now, the logo is just three circles. Pepsi's logo is now that simple red-and-blue yin-yang symbol. Apple's symbol is that apple. And so on.

What's more, the Foundation has ALREADY produced a series (currently very rare) of neck medallions that you can wear, so that YOU can stand proud next to all those other silly New Agers and religious wackos with their pentacles and crosses and Freemasonry and Golden Dawn symbols and what have you.

But I'm going to wait for the Foundation to post the logo here, just to be
fair.

As I'm sure you and your lovely wife will appreciate, Jesus has a detailed explanation of the symbology of the "Bob" Icon, laced with bullshit in the proper kook manner to provide meaning to every stroke. He is well aware that the sign of the Cross is in there (one of the most powerful symbols in the history of civilization, even before Christianity stole it), and as he was explaining the icon he used a Dobbshead with the new symbol laid over it. The first line intersects "Bob's" eyes, and as someone in the audience said, it can be seen as a target scope -- perfect for killing "Bob." The second line is his nose, and the third is his mouth. And of course, the Pipe.

You do realise that there may very well be ramifications from the Temple of Psychick Youth and Psychic TV from this new logo.

Minus the pipe, it's the exact same.

'Course, that may not stop me from getting it permanently inked on my skin as I've been considering just the plain old TOPY Psychic Cross for a while.

Subject: Re: Coming Soon: The "Bob" Icon From: Jesus Modemac's rendition is pretty good. But I prefer drawing the stem at a perfect 45 angle until it lines up with the bottom of the icon. What can I say I perfer a longer stem on my "Bob".

PS I posted a movie that shows the new symbol too, but I'm not sure I posted iot right, I'm a newbie, what can I say.

Let me post up a regular .gif or jpg next ----------------------------------------------------------------------

So the left side of the Mouth (that's what it is, after all) forms an equilateral triangle with the Pipe? Now that would have *some* kind of significance, no doubt. I'm not sure exactly what signifcance, but we can add some deep bullshit explanation eventually. -- First Online Church of "Bob" http://www.modemac.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know who either of those are so they must have stole it from us!!! Actually if their symbol is just the three layer cross, they'll have to answer to the Templars, the Bizatines and about 30 other sects and cults that used it before them. But that's the whole point it IS a cultic symbol worthy of any fanatic, world domination, cult. Goebbels would be proud ----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure of the legality of that.

That would be like taking the Microsoft Windows logo, tacking on an extra quarter or two, and then changing the colors. I'm not absolutely sure what copyright law has to say about it, though I'm sure that some form of dialogue can be created between Genesis P-Orridge and the Father Church if there's a lawsuit.

Remember, it's only illegal if you get caught.

True enough.

The PTV cross has been in use since 1981, I believe. Though, I'm not sure if it's been registered as a copyright, and even then, it may not have been registered as one in the United States. So, maybe a little legal footwork is appropriate here, but again, unless anyone sues, which is unlikely, then there shouldn't be a problem. :)
