You know those fuckers who have a little bit o'likker in'em and use that (and a pointless non sequitur) to totally derail the conversation? REPRESENT! You know those assholes who can barely wrap their heads around the concept of layers yet somehow feel entitled to give design advice? INNA HOUSE! non-sequitur follows __________________________________________________ So the Crown Royal wants me to mention, before I sober up and go to bed, that I got Francesca detailed today (that's my overly-rare, overly-expensive, overly-fast Italian motorcycle) and discovered on my first downshift that not only had the detail shop DROPPED her, not only had the detail shop broken off the shifter peg, but that they had - wait for it - CRAZY GLUED IT BACK ON. Which is why I spent my afternoon tapping an expensive piece of Italian Ergal with a 5/16-24 tap, riding 12 miles via bicycle to buy 38 cents worth of carriage bolt, kludging the affair back together and then making dinner, taking out the garbage, washing the baby (who has demonstrated her predilections for pooping in the pool not once, not twice, but three times in a row now), taking out the garbage and trying to find Benelli parts online, not necessarily in that order, thus the logical, reasonable, well-thought-out post I started at 2pm? Yeah, never happened. By the way - lane-splitting the 405 at rush hour without a shift knob? Not recommended. END NON SEQUITUR __________________________________________________ Right. So never been fond of the blue, never been fond of the orange. Know they're somehow representative of the site but hate them nonetheless. The logo is, in and of itself, not bad, albeit simplistic. And the general approach taken in the past has always been "here is a circular logo in a square field because square stickers are cheaper." But it kind of... I dunno. misses the point. Here's what I like about Hubski. Random threads I posted in nine months ago bump back up because someone read back to them. Conversations about venus become maudlin discussions of the space program that never was. And what should be a simple "I hate trolls" conversation becomes an intricate discussion about the vagaries of community construction and in amongst that are a bunch of people you know. Reddit was that, once. long, long ago. It sure as fuck isn't any longer. It's the shit between the dots. The fact that the logo is a circle surrounded geometrically by circles yet no one has attempted a fractal yet has bugged me for more than a year. However, since I have minimal art skillz I have let my irritation fester. Unfortunately for you all I've been drinkin'. I'm not sure who came up with the pushing back the darkness a little more. Googling it, it was apparently me. So that's something. Perhaps that gives me a little bit more leeway to pull a dick move like this: I want to see a black field. None of this rounded edges shit. I want corners. I want to see 1/4 of the wheel in the upper left corner. That will show me two half-circles at 3 and 6 o'clock, and one full circle at 4:30. I want to see eight full circles around the full circle at 4:30. I want to see not eight full circles around the partial circles at 3 and 6 o'clock. And then each one of those circles, I want to see circles. And so on. And so on. And so on. I want to see a Mandelbrot hub wheel. I want to see the sun and its planets and their planetoids and their asteroids and their satellites until the printer just can't go any smaller. And I want the wheel white, and I want it to say "Hubski". Not hubski.com. Amazon doesnt say Amazon.com anymore. Google Hubski and hubski.com will come up. And I want the field black, and in the corner I want to see "Pushing back the dark." If it is my slogan, I get to proofread it. Pushing Back The Dark Go home, K. You're drunk and you have a 7am call. PEACE OUT
I have seriously never attempted to read a drunk kb derailment drunk before and it was probably one of the hardest things I have EVER FUCKING DONE. My god. I wanted my brain to work so badly but it just simply could not connect the dots. I'm like about to take notes on this shit to keep track of what the hell your ass is talking about. ALright. Fuck. so were talking about motorcycle manly stuff here....which actually makes a lot of sense since youre drunk and I know fixing stuff and drinking go together. NOMG no its a real baby. bahahahahahahahaha see I was totally right about the bike thing. Also - you are crazy. Also - fuck freeways I live in motherfucking south redondo where we are the center of a circle and the 405 and 110 are the circumference and teh motherfucking ocean is the intersecting shit that makes me happy. I went midnight swimming already. Don't worry. I'm not going to get derailed. I'm going to keep going. well yeah its a hubwheel. thats just what it is. The square comes in because thats what shape the cheapest sticks come in. .... yeah yeah yeah I KNOW THATS WHY I LOVE HUBK! ohhhhhh shit. THIS IS IT. KB HAS REVEALED THE TRUTH. No but seriously. That's a really amazing way of putting it. uh oh UH OH DUCK FOR COVER, YO I actually think I can do that. I'll have to read it again but yeah. why the fuck isn't that word that I don't know clickable? sounds good to me okay lets do this. START TEH MOTHERFUCKING COUNTDOWN. INSOM STARTED DRINKING AT 10PM. SHE OFFICIALLY ALMOST FUCKING REALLY....FUCKING DUDE THIS GUY....MAN.....AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FUCKING EVEN THOUGH IVE USED THAT WORD A LOT. ANYWAYS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE WERE MASSIVE IDIOTS AND FUCKED THAT UP AND HAD TO CLEAN UP THE DRAMAFEST THAT ENSUED TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE BESIDES US WAS GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING HAPPY. IM NOT HAPPY. I FUCKING HAVE BEEN SMILING NON STOP TODAY ITS FUCKING RETARDED HOW MUCH THIS FOOL MAKES ME FEEL. AND I WANTED TO DO A NIGHT SO I COULD TAKE HIS ASS OFF A PEDESTAL AND GET REAL. BECAUSE MAN....REAL IS SOMETHING I HAVE MISSED FOR A LONG ASS TIME. and if I show up to work giddy and smiley one more time, my heartbroken programmer might actually stab me in the cunt with an audrino. anyways. it's 2:48am lets design this shitItalian Ergal with a 5/16-24 tap
washing the baby
and here I still assume youre talking about the bike or whatever(who has demonstrated her predilections for pooping in the pool not once, not twice, but three times in a row now)
lane-splitting the 405 at rush hour
here is a circular logo
It's the shit between the dots.

Googling it,
pull a dick move like this:

And then each one of those circles, I want to see circles. And so on. And so on. And so on.
I want to see a Mandelbrot hub whee
Pushing back the dark
This is an incredible event I'm witnessing here. I need to be up till 4AM for Ramadan more often. Are there any other drunk at 2 AM Hubskiers that I should be keeping track of? Also where are the hubskiers on the other side of the pond? I know swedishbadgergirl is one of 'em.
Give me a month til I'm back at college and with my bestfriends/roommates and I will be one of those Hubskiers.Are there any other drunk at 2 AM Hubskiers that I should be keeping track of?
Wiat. I'm stuck? Is this right? Is it just weird because they are colors? I'mma keep going and see what happens
Maybe? It's getting TRIPPY! ANyone gots some uppers? I feel like I would be way more into the idea of doing what I just do but exponentially more if I was on something.
I'm seriously going to kidnap swedishbadgergirl and then come to you. Not tonight though. I have work in the morning. Tomorrow. Why?, you ask Because I feel like that would be an excellent time.
I would never attempt to seduce an artist so they changed their art. I would simply change it myself after you are chained to the bed.
FUCK it's 4. Getting closer? fuck. This si gunna take FOREVER
Ugh okay so I think I fell asleep a couple times while doing that. I have no idea how I finished. 
"Yeah, pretty much", said sober kleinbl00. Only because I know one color costs a lot less than "all colors" I figured black und white would do just fine. Also, I might shift your "master circle" up and to the left as Kevin Costner would say so that you get more black in the field.
That was super fun. Woke up late though. No hot water. Pounding headache. Wooo, LIFE!
I think it's called "being shitfaced and using a trackpad" error in this case. I left my laptop at home today but I'll play with it a bit more tonight and clean it up. Now that everything in there, the rest is fairly easy. Being sober will probably help too.t a collimation error
Dude. Close enough! Looks awesome! I suspect that if you skewed it in the 3D plane a bit it might take longer to notice but I think it's grand. I'd even take White-on-Orange like that. Might also work better if you take away the "big hub" that I've turned into the lower right... give you more black space.
Damn I really like the first one but the second one is cleaner and more Hubski..y? I don't know. The first one really reminds me of planets or some old DaVinci drawings/sketches. And the fact that you have more whitespace (blackspace?) makes it really visually pleasing to stare at. I wonder what it would look like with the circle replacement that you did on the second one. Let me think on it. I love it!
It's the shit between the dots.
Just added this to the slogan compilation. (Not sure I want to see it on a sticker though.)
