Hot Monkey Logo
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007 at 12:00 amAs promised, here is the new Monkey’s Uncle logo. The hope here is that the logo will be so beautiful that you will drop to your knees begging me to take it down as the awesomeness is just too much to bear as it brings happiness upon sadness upon happiness which brings the world around you into the sharp contrast of sepia tone and throws you into such a fit of nostalgia that memories of your first childhood trip to Six Flags seem as if they are as hurtful as the girl who lived in the trailer next door throwing dirt in your eyes because you wouldn’t let her play with your dump truck that you just got for your birthday*, the fuckin’ bitch.
But being that it’s just a logo, you’ll probably go “That’s cool” and then move on with your life, you ingrate**.
This logo had its beginnings when I was putting together a flyer for our show with Rodents Of Unusual Size and I needed a cranky looking monkey. We all fell in love with it so it is now our new mascot. I want to thank one of my best friends, Lorne, for helping with the final stages and doing little things like the variant thickness of the curse balloon to make it that much more awesomer. In fact, if you need to hire a good graphic art company, try TM Design. They do good work.
Are you finally ready to see it? Okay, imagine a choir of angels singing all around you and…
Release is always good after such a great buildup, eh?
Monkey’s Uncle is having our 6th Anniversary Show this Monday (Nov 19) at Jazz@Jack’s in the Denver Pavilions starting at 7:30. Our special guest hosts will be local funny guys, Rick & Alf.

If Bossy could just beam over…

We would make you our maiden of honor, too.

Yes, and this one wasn’t all messy … as some of them can be.
…you will drop to your knees…
Ummm … not so much. And sometimes that position leads to … releases.
But I DO like the logo. It suits you, I think.

Not too shabby–monkeys, as a rule, make everything funnier.

(Unable to type due to dizziness from swooning over majesty and awesomeness and genius of logo.)

I am on my knees, worshipful, really, it’s great.
But you know, the guys down in corporate are wondering if you could just jiggle with the design a little bit — you know, like instead of that nice blue background, you use our corporate colors (green, right) and instead of a the grumpy look in his face, you make him a bit, you know, happier? That would send a better message about our company.
And also, could you make it an armadillo?

Jami: You seem to have the many aspects of release down pat.
Rickey: Them or armadillos.
Frogster: Get you to some Paris Hilton music! That will make things not so awesome.
Mark: I was just tell Rickey that armadillos are funny. Great minds, eh? However, the armadillo still must be cranky. I mean, it is hot in Texas and all.

Awesome beyond belief.
It is Cameron’s new caller ID. It would be YOURS, but seeing as you’ve never shared your cell # with me…well…what can I say?
See ya Monday night :-)

My eyes, my eyes. The awesomeness of the new logo is burning my eyes. The joy of how awesome it is makes me weep!

Kath: I just shared. Use with caution.
Chris: Visine. I can’t stress it enough.

I could stab someone at TM Design in the eye for using Flash on their Homepage. That is such a no-no for search engine marketing. But the logo looks DAMN GOOD so I have to give them credit for that. I like it a lot!

I’m pretty sure Lorne had a hand in the web design, so I’d appreciate it if you didn’t stab one of my best friends, thank you. :)

I always LOVED the R.O.U.S.es. Maybe you should change your name to THAT
November 14th, 2007 at 3:22 pm
Oooh, maybe I’ll get a tat of the monkey instead of Billy.
November 14th, 2007 at 4:04 pm
That would be SWEEEET!
November 14th, 2007 at 8:45 pm
That is one supremely sensational simian, sir!
November 14th, 2007 at 9:38 pm
T’is the greatest monkey I have seen in my life. Which brings that number above at least 7.
November 15th, 2007 at 7:16 am
Great new logo. I always have had a thing for monkeys. No, not like that ;)
November 15th, 2007 at 11:33 am
Never stare a monkey in the eye.
November 16th, 2007 at 8:50 am
You modeled the monkey after Matt2 didn’t you? That is the exact look he gets when somebody tells him we are out of root beer.

Lord Likely: Why think you, m’lord.
Pope Terry: Why thank you, Your Immanence.
Jason: Monkeys are cool!
BD: Good advice
Leslie: That actually makes sense!

I too like the logo, but don’t have an awesome aliteration in which to deliver the message with.
January 18th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Yeah, okay bitch, you used an iStock drawing against iStock rules. You can’t use their stuff in logos, ass.

Nice…I sure hope that company you linked to didn’t mock the logo up for you.
January 18th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Yeah, thanks for being an ass yourself. You could have just quoted the part of the license that we weren’t aware of. Instead, you decided to be a cunt.
Thanks.
Nice balls at leaving an anonymous note, too.
You could haven’t chosen the path that would have you come across as a good Samaritan, instead you make me realize that a lot of the human race sucks. And not in a good way.
