Title: What is that thing?

What is that background image behind the Microstock Group header banner or perhaps logo.

Mebbe we should have a contest to redesign that. At least show a camera ?  :D

That's funny, I never really looked at it until you pointed it out.  Haven't a clue either.

I'm not against an updated logo but it should be just a camera because everyone in microstock is not a photographer.  There are videographers and illustrators here too.

Do not know what it is, but if it was stock it would have been classified as "abstract" or "concept". Guess it will make it more a thing than an identifiable it. Personally, I like the whole picture with the thing.  :D

But the slogan is a meeting place for microstock photographers That would need updating then as well, no?

Good grief. He just changed the whole forum. Let the dust settle before we have to go through more changes! My 2c worth...I like the logo, I don't care what it is. And maybe the slogan should just be "a meeting place." That should make everyone happy!  :D

I think it's a filing cabinet drawer. (not that it is, just that it looks like one to me)  ;)

No complaints. The orange has been doing fine here. Remember when the site changed and suddenly Snap Village also went orange?
