Deviation Actions
As many of you know by now, the old one is gone, and there's a new one in town...but it hasn't been doing very well because of its poor design, its similarity to other symbols (like an inequality sign, a road-crossing symbol, etc.), and the way the dA staff has been ignoring the community backlash.
Instead of involving us, the millions of people that actually use this site, they hired some outside artists that are not part of the community to create this 'logo'.
Now there's widespread movement for our voices to be heard concerning the new brand appearance, which many of us feel do not represent the words 'deviant' or 'art'.
We aren't going to do discussions here, since this club is about lgbta topics. We just wanted to give you a slice of some info that you may not be aware of yet.
The journals posted state/will show pretty much every problem that's been going on for the past few days. Hope some of you guys find it enlightening, and for the few of you who actually like the new logo...it'll give you something new to ponder (if you haven't seen them already).
Here are links you might want to check up on:
iamcloudsky.deviantart.com/jou… <- This journal speaks about how the staff and the company they hired 'Moving Brands' are basically treating the new logo backlash like it's a joke.
spyed.deviantart.com/journal/B… <- This was the original update journal. The staff has been deleting our comments regarding the community unrest over the new design. There was well over 1000 pages, but they have gradually been deleting them. It was also up for only 2 days, incredibly short in comparison to the usual 5-7 days they leave update banners on. Update: they reposted it again after deleting dozens of pages AGAIN.
spyed <- He is the person responsible for the new design, the owner of the website. If you visit his page, it becomes pretty apparent that all three links I posted point to one thing: most people do not like the new logo. And if you've visited Youtube, 1/2 of the ratings are dislikes...so as you can see, the community isn't taking such a poorly-made change well. Change is good if done right, not like this. UPDATE: Spyed has deleted comment threads on his user page that people made about him infringing on Platzkart, he also deleted links people posted on his page about Iamcloudsky's journal.
Visit the links and arm yourselves with knowledge concerning our website. And if you are already aware of these issues, great!
But for those of you who haven't seen the unrest yet, it might be good to get some more input. Thanks for dropping in and hope this brings some light on how the deviantart staff has been treating us lately.

Mascot Naming Poll! [VOTING NOW CLOSED]
After intense deliberation between our support group leaders we've come up with a list of the top ten names (stated in random order of course)! :thumb52793630:
We cut out ones that didn't really match her appearance but kept the others that we felt best suited her. Plus we chose a lot of the more unique names, so that when people search her name online, she will be the first link to pop up. That being said, have fun voting for her official name everyone! :thumb33321018:

Help Name Our Support Group Mascot! [NOW CLOSED]
Suggestions are now CLOSED!
What better way to get your point across and avoid conflict with a rabid yaoi fan-base (not the normal fans) than with a cute animal that says clever things? :)
Well introducing our female bird mascot ____________
