Default Profile Picture, Barack Obama?

Does anyone else keep thinking Barack Obama every time they see the  image of the SB Nation "Fan" used all over the site including in our default profile photos?

OBEY

Except that the SBN image has been around for a few months and Shep Fairey (Obama Postr designer) is notorious for borrowing from other sources to create his art designwork.

Haha

So Barack's posters can be linked back to the introduction of the SBN fan logo? Inspiration comes from all kinds of places. I was once told by my film professor Larry Paull(production designer for Blade Runner) that his love of White Castle was the inspiration for some of the design elements of the future Los Angeles he created for the film.

cool photos

and thanks for adding so many to my angels flickr group!

I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious.

No problem.

I couldn't wait to add a bunch to the group after I uploaded them! I'm kind of addicted to flickr. It's so great to know all my photos are backed up in their original file size somewhere that I know won't crash forever. A hard drive with all my music and photos (luckily on flickr) was lost a few months back.

I'm so addicted to Flickr, too.

Losing my external HD with all my music and photos is one of my worst nightmares (especially the ones of my son). At least most of my pictures will be saved on Flickr.

Nice pix

Enjoyed the photos a lot. Here is a link to where every one gets those reversed color hats: http://www.lids.com/style/7432?link_id=4578

Know as the MLB Twisted series, I find them all to be ugly.

You guys in California really do live in heaven, the Angels are in town for more than just six games and there is Jack in the Box within 200 miles.

Not seeing an Angels Twisted hat.

Am I blind?

On the road to 100.

Yeah, I didn't see any on there,

Red is by far the best color anyways.

Thanks!

Glad you liked the photos. Thank you for the link to the twisted hats. Some of those color combos seem almost sac religious they are so freaky.

We'll be fine.

No

But I think of Rev. Halofan every time I see Bob Forrest on VH1's Celebrity Rehab.

The button on his lapel

kinda looks like a Halos logo. If you were from Houston, though, it would look like an Astros logo.

Captain, there are doubt's...

good call

i was just thinking that

by UCIHalo on Mar 15, 2008 12:36 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I actually thought

it looked too much like me. My current profile picture is just an MS Paint rendition of myself that a friend did, and the default thing here kinda creeped me out for a bit because of it.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Mar 17, 2008 1:39 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I noticed this as well

first time I saw it I said "that's Barack Obama!"

Live is boring until March 31st strolls by..

How do you upload your photos into SBNation?

Do they have to be on the web first? The Fanphoto page asks for a weblink instead of a file upload. Can anybody help me?

by Downing Rules on Mar 17, 2008 4:59 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Oh, so they have to be on the web first?

Coz, when I right click everyone's photos, they are stored on the sbnation site (under http://assets.sbnation.com:/imported_assets), so I assumed we could do a file upload... Guess not.

Thanks, CKOD and Rev for web space hints, but I got my own gig goin' on. Just would have been a bit easier to grab it directly from my HDisk.
