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 (...) (24 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Absolutely Nick, Any decree from up high would be sure to dot the 'i's and cross the 't's. Graphic designers being creative individuals stuck in a corporate world, like being cheeky and and may throw in a few 'in-jokes' graphically. We have (...)

(...) I agree completely. I fully believe that the Lego Company had no intentions of deliberately misrepresenting LUGNET. I hate to speculate on what might have happened, but it seems as though the image on the computer screen may have been "FPO" (...) (24 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) That was my first concern really - big corperations don't (in general) have much of a sense of humour about such things. It'd be a shame if an in-joke cost someone their job, but considering how much time and effort Todd + Suzanne put into (...) (24 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Whoa, that's interesting to say the least. So is it basically the same page? (Like, if you held the two side-by-side, would they look basically the same except for U.S. letter vs. DIN A4 paper size differences?) Is there a scan up anywhere of (...)

(...) And now it's a bit better than the first pass but still not good on a monochrome monitor. Just put the TM in black and be done with it, give up on the shades of blue, I say. Ditto for the TMs on the splash page, too gray. Get in people's faces (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
