    I find the above quite amusing. First of all I've been using the Sad Fart acronym for a long time (a year and a half) and many people of said how well it works and easy to remember.

    I absolutely don't think it demeans the site. Money doesn't have to be turgid, it can be fun.

    I take on board the naked bum point. As for the punctuation and colours, as noted that will all change.

    A few more changes to come and then it'll be there

    Thanks for the feedback :)

    At its current state its not appealing especially the picture of the fart.As for the bum unless you trying to emphasize women farting, use something else.If the theme is women farting then use a less descrete picture and not a women in a thong. The acronym should be in red so it stands out and rest of the letterings in another colour. i could give u a funny theme but i guess thats what you not looking for.
  • Agree with the cow idea being more fun. Look's a bit 1940's and outdated. Plus it looks like she is trying to squeeze out an unhappy snowflake, not a fart!

    I'm sorry but I dont like the acronym much. It gives a negative image of anyone who knows/wants their rights. I dont like the design either, it doesnt offend me but its just too puerile. however if you changed the acronym that wouldnt be a problem.

    ........Instead of a thong on a bum, why not show the rear end of a cow with a fart cloud?.........

    That's an awesome idea!

    I like the acronym but not the picture. I prefer the cow idea if you must have a picture of a fart!
