This is once again, me, or Steve, talking about that Folding. We are rockin’ the house. I sent in a work unit today (as did a few others, I’m sure), and my bro says we are moving up in the ranks.
But, the one thing we need to distinguish ourselves from the crowd is a cool logo. Any ideas? I can’t make one because I don’t have any graphics programs other than MS Paint. Any motivated unicyclist computer graphical artists out there?
My bro, (winterburnd on the scoreboard) has told me time and again that we need a logo. I said I’d make a post about so here I am. Maybe something along the lines of a guy on a unicycle with a comp in his lap? Yes, yes, I know this is not something you just make in five minutes or something, but I think it would be cool.
Thank you all for reading this post, and maybe someone will be nice and make us a logo…
Thanks to you, the team is kicking butt. You may not have the fastest computer, but you got the team organized and you recruited a lot of people. You are a true leader! A good leader can accomplish so much more than if he acted by himself. Personally, I wouldn’t be folding if it were not for you. Our total score of 2543 belongs to you.
Now people, we need two things. Here’s the easy one first. Please go to Folding@Home, read all about it, download the software, and start folding! It runs in the background and you don’t even notice that it’s running. MAKE SURE you enter our team number: 13392
Secondly, as Steve says, we need a logo. I have sub-zero artistic abilities, so I can’t do it. I think Phil can do it. He put a bear-on-a-unicycle in someone’s MUni picture. Do we have any volunteers?

My mission in life is NOT to kick mgrant’s butt. However, after he knocked me out of the #4 position, I did start folding on a third machine. And we are both about to overtake Nick. Nick, keep folding! Keep folding!
this is somethin i put together in freehand, didnt take too long, and still needs work. Tell me what you think, and be honest, if it looks good, ill work some more on it, and make it look better.
Any tips on colour(or color) schemes etc appreciated.
thought it was quite good, but my opinion’s biased. I think i’ll find a good pic of an actual uni to either use to look at, or edit in. I will make a better version later tonight, that was just to check if the idea was good.
I’ll post the newer version later, anyone want their unicycle on the logo, i was maybe thinking about using unisteves, seen as he organised it all. I would use mine but it doesnt arrive till monday. cant wait.
Unisteve, if you send me a pic of your uni i will use that, unless people think the computer drawn model would look better.
here is the newer version, this time its a hunter frame, because i think it looks better. Any suggestions for the “featuring” section appreciated, as i am not particularly witty, or good at phrases.
If anyone has any suggestions for improvements feel free to make them. This just needs some final touches, but i thought i would put it up tonight, so all of you across the pond can see it while i’m asleep.
I can’t take all the credit for the team. Without you guys, it would just be me and winterburnd (my bro who was the actual founder of the team itself, which I made into this unicycle one). So I’m kinda like the sub-founder or something.
That logo is looking cool. Sadly, my unicycle is a 20", little basic unicycle. (Not even a trials one.) It wouldn’t do justice to the team. That Hunter one looks cool, though. Thank you for taking time from your busy (or so I would assume) schedule to make that/those fantabulistic logo(s).
Keep on folding, fellow unicyclists…
Maybe I’ll have to try to think of some witty slogan(s) or something. I’m open to ideas. Now, I will go meditate. Er, after I change my sig. I was reading LOTR Return of the King and I found a funny (at least to me) quote.
Thank you all for your time, ideas, and artistic skills.
I think Nick has been somewhat unfortunate with the work units he’s been getting… he started at about the same time that John and I did, has done pretty much the same number of units but hasn’t scored very highly. I think the scoring system isn’t really very accurate… at the moment I’m higher than my brother, but he’s done more units than me, his computer is faster and I’m sure it’s on more than mine is.
