blimey - there was a real tussle over the design concept right up to page 6
if we hadn't put our foot down, the well loved pirate it might well have had a skull and crossbones, with an eyepatch, with an Mdot on the eyepatch, and a swiss army knife between its teeth, and a biohazard sign around the skull, and a geeky "URWFRC"-style motif on the breast saying "virtual club, real triathletes", and a cutlass stabbing into the top of the skull, with "IMCH" written down the cutlass, and -worst of all- forum names on the back in iron on letters.
i think we did quite well, considering!!
