First one is that StupidZombie has a logo; This all product of the hard work of DrRommstein (at ITT, Idaho) and after some time he came with a logo and theme that really reflects the spirit of this project. But I would rather quote him on the explanation of the logo and how he came with the idea.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Blockhead&#8221;<\/em> as I lovingly call the mascot is a zombie done in classic green, and sucken eyes. The eyes are a little off to relay the message he might not be all that bright. Blockhead used to be a bellhop before he was bitten by zombie some time ago. The bellhop uniform speaks of servitude, friendliness and at your &#8220;beck-n-call.&#8221; To quote wikipedia:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The job&#8217;s name is derived from the fact that the hotel&#8217;s front desk would ring a bell to summon an available employee, who would &#8220;hop&#8221; (jump) to attention at the desk in order to receive instructions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like a good association for what the StupidZombie program does to me.<\/p>\n<p>I chose royal purple for the uniform &#8211; i because when paired with green it just kind of speaks of fun. Purple is also a unique color that not alot of places in society use especially for bellhops. It provides a nice contrast to the other colors and is very complimentary.<\/p>\n<p>The light blue is very upbeat and again speaks of &#8220;clear blue skys&#8221; and creativity &#8211; good energy.<\/p>\n<p>The circles are something I envisioned from the start &#8211; maybe its because the main vowel sounds in Stupid and Zombie are o&#8217;s. Maybe its a full moon. I know that circles represent often wholeness, completeness, etc. Anyway I think they work real well together.<\/p>\n<p>My last thoughts on a logo: Somewhere inside myself I always think a logo should be cool enough that I would want to wear on a t-shirt, a hat, have a poster of it, just be really cool looking. I think, at least for me, that I really dig this logo. and would be happy to wear any swag with this logo on it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I think the previous paragraph explains it all :). But now it is time for you to meet &#8220;Blockhead&#8221; the official mascot of <a href=\"http:\/\/stupidzombie.com\">StupidZombie<\/a>!:<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blockhead, StupidZombie official mascot\" src=\"http:\/\/stupidzombie.com\/SZLogo_500x300_whtbgd.png\" alt=\"Blockhead, StupidZombie official mascot\" width=\"500\" height=\"301\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blockhead, StupidZombie official mascot<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em><strong>Great stuff. <\/strong><\/em>Now about the code, I have put together a Java Webstart shortcut for those of you who want to kick the tires and play <a href=\"http:\/\/stupidzombie.com\/StupidZombie.jnlp\" target=\"_blank\">with the application<\/a>.
