This was the first logo that I made. Starfire made the very first banner, which featured a retroish guy with a lawnmower. I don’t have that one anymore, but I remember that it was also used on our first fliers, which we started distributing like the day after the site went up in July, 2003.
For the design featuring the banner above, we had images on the left and right (the whole site was just an HTML table) that Starfire & I would change frequently. The design after that featured ten small cells at the top of the page with pictures in each cell. Any member could change one or all of the pictures by uploading a photo named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, or whatever. That was the predecessor to the user-submitted rotating image that we all know and love today.
We should make a PDD history page.
PDD Cells design:
I’m pretty sure that using a 2003 browser, those beveled gray lines between the cells did not show up.
After that design came the official PDD logo that we still use, and the layout that appears in the 2003-2005 archives currently available on the left sidebar. I’m not entirely sure, but I believe we added the rotating banner in September of 2005.
i remember getting the lawnmower guy flier – on construction paper, i think? at a pre-tour low show at the spirit of the north theatre, right after getting an ice cream cone from the portland malt shoppe. those were the days.
