Hi again Thomas, I have another question if you don't mind.  I don't have
an actual copy of this in front of me yet and the close-up scan is still a
bit blurry on the details, but perhaps you could see on your original:

I have an original copy of the mag, and I guess I'm butting in.... It's a
cartoon of a computer screen. I think they scanned the logo, the resolution is

I agree it's a neat plug but they sure could of went about it a better way.

Could it be someone there who reads LUGNET "slipped" it in to try to help?
Figuring it was small enough to make it through?  I can't see corp.levels doing
this, I'm sure they would have contacted Todd & Suz before hand.

No URL, no TM, no nothing. So for people who have never (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

I believe this is indeed the answer that many people are overlooking. The logo was probably copied by a fan of both LEGO and LUGNET and just wanted to do something fun for the group. While I agree that not giving any indication of where the logo (...) (25 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
