Members Association Odds ‘n Ends
So last night at the Inaugural Members Association meeting spurred some new thoughts…
1. Drew brought up how we would Name the Association. Personally, I’m a fan of “Union” but I’m not too attached to it and could live with “Members Association” or “Alliance”. (However is we go with Option #2, please read my third point below)
2. Bart Wiley also mentioned something about the Association’s new logo but the Slide Presentation was all messed up. Well are you ready for it? It’s actually been underneath our noses in email, or at least I’m using some common sense here to assume this is it. I’m also assuming that the selected name will be at the top of the black circle…
REALLY? That’s it? The Sounders FC Logo with a big fat FSN logo in the middle of it for OUR Association logo? I don’t care if FSN is the new “Production Partner” and will provide us with “behind the scenes” videos and stories. The blatant “logo creep” is horrible and wreaks of blatant commercial sell-out where none is needed. Absolutely poor. But if FSN pays for my cable, I could live with it…
Will the Membership Council please get a new logo for the Members Association. ASAP.
3. In an effort started by the Grammar Police, can we also change the name to Members‘ Association??? Yes, it is being pedantic, but it is the association for the Members, so let’s add the apostrophe to denote possession!
OK, Membership Council… get going on these issues!
