Re: Thoughts on new US FIRST splash page?
Agreed with the whole "I don't like it" "unprofessional" posts.
But what annoys me the most is the Will.I.Am quote that was picked is SO corny and it makes it seem like they're trying to tell people that kids in FIRST aren't losers or something.
"YOU GUYS ARE COOL!" Is this really needed? Sounds like something you'd say when you're reassuring a little kid about something.
Not exactly sure how to put in words why it bugs me so much though, but here goes...
It's like when the big nerd at school gets a hi five from a random jock, but then the nerd becomes obsessed with the jock and thinks they're best pals now. Turns out the nerd was perceived as an average kid by the jock anyway.
External perception will always reflect internal perception. If FIRST still views itself as an oasis for nerds...then I don't know what they're accomplishing with this page.
