Which one of the following is more exciting?
1. Yesterday, the race org of Dallas White Rock sent 1000s of past participants an email regarding an 'exciting announcement'... to announce that they had renamed the race from "Dallas White Rock Marathon" to "Dallas Marathon". I know, you almost passed out from excitement, didn't you??? HA. Here is how they started the email:
====
This afternoon, the Dallas White Rock Marathon board of directors made the exciting announcement that Dallas’ oldest and largest marathon is transitioning to a new name! The rebrand includes removing “White Rock” from the race’s name and introducing a new, contemporized logo identity.
OR...
2. A slinky on a treadmill.
Whatever you pick, I plan on working 'contemporized logo identity' into regular conversation.
And once again Mr. Wizard (aka: Stevie Ray) explains the internet.

Clearly the slinky. <-- Note: It's epic!
Will srlopez be undergoing a rebranding?
testing testing
I once saw a video with 3 slinkys on a treadmill.
And since that's not one of the options then I'm not going to vote.
Clearly the slinky. Will srlopez be undergoing a rebranding?
Clearly the slinky.
stevie ray is sometimes known by his alternate brand of McLovin.
Sometimes I run in pink, sometimes maniac stuff, lately in InkNBurn stuff (although I am not "cool" nor fast enough to show up on their site). Sometimes completely incognito. Sometimes pink inknburn (PinkNBurn) with a maniac hat. EEK.
I don't need more brands.

Well, all this is considerably more exciting than Dallas - White Rock.
OMG! There were like a bunch of times I was so scared 4 Slinky! That was epic!

Slinky is fun for a girl and a boy.

I wanted that stupid Slinky to fall off and get hurt. It was mocking me. Stupid Stupid Slinky.

wonder how long the transition to bare-sprung movement took?
I bought myself a reflective running jacket.
It sits in the corner reading works by Descartes and Proust.

What you need is to combine all your brands into one contemporary LOGO identity. I dont know what a logo would be for a StevieRayPinkNBurnMcLoviniac but I bet you could hold a contest.

Me too, but only so that I could be lead counsel in the action that Slinky and unnamed class members would bring against Precor, Life Fitness and other purveyors of dangerously designed treadmills. Thirty million dollars!
No one before has ever sued on behalf of a spring, but I think the case has potential.
