Gidday Mr Big Cuckold!
Love the site, hate the logo!
A female face, reflecting some degree of sneering superiority, (hard to do, admittedly...) would perhaps be more relevant...
Why a logo at all?

I like it. There is a side of me that thinks he should be in a tutu and a ball gag, but I think that image captures the idea perfectly without cheapening it. [email protected] |

It's actually quite fitting.
This is a bizzare forum on so many levels with so many different characters and misfits (including myself) and the logo is absolutely perfect in keeping with that theme.
It's entirely bizzare and makes no sense whatsoever.
Perfect, Mr. Big.

I love the logo. Just out of curiousity, does anyone know the historical significance of the HORNS?
Thanks for all your hard work on this site.

For the poster above who thought that the logo didn't make any sense and the other wondering the significance of the horns, a 3-second Wikipedia search answers all of your questions:
The hyperlink is visible to registered members only!
Cuckolds have sometimes been written as "wearing the horns of a cuckold" or just "wearing the horns". This refers to a tradition claiming that in villages of unknown European location, the community would gather to collectively humiliate a man whose wife gives birth to a young recognizably not his own. According to this legend, a parade was held in which the hapless husband is powerd to wear antlers on his head as a symbol of his wife�s infidelity. Whether this did actually happen or not is irrelevant to the phrase, which survived.
Cuckolds are also sometimes portrayed as having horns (which look like devil horns), but this is actually a crescent moon set behind the head. Since the moon waxes and wanes, it was held as a symbol of the changeability of love, and especially the fickleness of women, so a cuckold had the moon hanging over his head.
Ca. 1815 French satire on cuckoldry, which shows both men and women wearing horns
Ca. 1815 French satire on cuckoldry, which shows both men and women wearing horns
The French equivalent of "wearing horns" is "porter des cornes" and is used by Moli�re to describe someone whose husband has been unfaithful. Moliere's L'�cole des femmes (1662) is the story of a man who mocks cuckolds and becomes one at the end. In Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (c.1372-77), the Miller's Tale is a story that humorously examines the life of a cuckold.
In Russia, Greece, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Brazil, Spain and Arabic-speaking countries, "horns" are a metaphor for suffering the infidelity of a partner, not limited to husbands in modern usage. However, the use of the term dates from the Roman empire, since legionaries returning from the war were given horns as a triumph or prize. So, the use of the term is a mockery of the husband, victorious in the battlefield, but defeated in his own bed. The gesture of the horned hand can be used to insult the cuckold; the Italian translation, cornuto literally means horned (This sometimes causes confusion in Italians who are learning English and encounter the word horny). The Spanish word for a consenting cuckold, cabr�n, has such an offensive nuance that it is a taboo word rarely used with its original meaning, "he-goat". However, according to the tone and the relation to the addressed, it can be even laudatory.

Andre,
I'm well-aware of the history behind the logo.
Thank you.
The logo is bizzare and without continuity, therefore, perfect for this site.
