John Hjorth Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Have you noticed the new CoBF logo here on the site? Personally, I like it a lot! To me, it's a symbolic logo, about Wold Wide coverage, - and growth: Economic ... -but also personal & knowledge growth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

writser Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Idea: when the market goes down the earth will turn red, the graph will go downwards instead of upwards and the plane crashes into the first bar of the graph. Should be possible to automate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkbabang Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I like it as well, although I think it would look better if the background were transparent rather than white so that the light blue background would show through. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about to grab this JPEG file named "cropped-cropped-Handover-Corner-Of-Berkshire-Fairfax-JPG-e1516151433460" from the site, fix it and send it to Sanjeev for a reinstall on the CoBF webserver installation?

Thanks everyone! I figured the site isn't going anywhere, and it was time to make it a bit more permanent and recognizable. John, I can send you the different JPEGS if you know what to do...I'm not particularly tech savvie. I believe doing a clear version wouldn't be that difficult if you know what you are doing. Cheers!

John Hjorth Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 lol. Sanjeev, I'm not the right person to ask, because I can't do the work. I was trying to get DooDiligence to pick up the glove. -And I certainly hope the site goes nowhere, btw! [: - ) ] -Always nice with new stuff on the site, though!

Since I suggested it I'd be willing to do it. I don't have photoshop on the computer I'm on right now so I did this with GIMP (which I'm not all that familiar with). If you want to email me the files, I'll do it tonight when I get home. I'll send you an email in case you no longer have my address. EDIT: deleted file, transparency didn't work. Like I said I'm not too familiar with GIMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tengen Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 JPEG doesn't support transparency. You need a PNG or GIF (PNG preferred). The Mac OS's "Preview" app will do all this so I created a transparent PNG from the current JPEG file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a photoshop (or GIMP) file with all the layers? --- Oops, apologies to rk & ten for not reading your posts 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkbabang Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 This version is a bit sharper and the gray text is intact. That one looks pretty good. But as DooDiligence said, it would look best if you started from the original editor file with all of the layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest longinvestor Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 There is some likeness between the PDH and the new COBF logo. Just sharing graphics you already had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otsog Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Honestly, I thought it was intentionally cheesy or sarcastic. The graph bars are going up significantly each year. But a 4 year sample is a pretty short time frame for value investors and we are typically more accepting of volatility. The plane is flying around the world. But, that seems to be the antithesis of the frugal, under the radar, sound judgement style of most value investors. Unless that is a dig at Buffett's 'The Indefensible'. What about a cartoon of Buffett and Prem picking up cigar butts off the street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'm pretty adept with GIMP too (and PNGoo for PNG optimisation) so I'm happy to give it a go with the original graphics if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a cartoon of Buffett and Prem picking up cigar butts off the street? Eye of the beholder! When it was designed, I thought the bars showed incremental growth...no cannabis or bit-coin...nice 12-15% annual returns. The plane and planet are simply to show that there are investors on here from all over the world, and no matter where you fly, you'll find value investment ideas and value investors. Cheers!

Sanjeev, personally, I just feel that your chest and your back is covered with a thick layer of some weird & impenetrable compound of asbetos and cryptonite! [<- sounds good, right? -Did you [the reader, not Sanjeev!] get it? - in the context?] [ ;-) ] In short: Thank you for keeping us all connected to each other via CoBF!
