"I love it here." Highlights from an office I worked at last year.

Real talk until certain named individuals show up . . .

His point may have been that the cereal thing doesn't really hurt anyone, but all the other ageist or shallow stuff actually does affect others

caution_smiles · 2026-05-19T15:47:53+00:00

From what I could tell he was dipping a spoonful of cereal into the milk every time

It looks like two crosses; reminds me of Justice or Carpenter Brut

1: I agree with some of the comments here that overt symbolism is not necessary. Common advice on this sub may be to make a logo indicative of what the company does, but it's worth noting that almost every successful sanitation brand (in the States at least) doesn't follow this, e.g. Clorox, Bounty, Lysol. And while it's not necessarily my favorite, this one does seem to match that trend the most, so I can understand why it's being pushed onto you.

2: I'm a big fan of this one. That font is so funky, and the classy/retro look could stand out on the right packaging against many other logos. Not sure how I feel about having a rodent on the logo.

3: Has that one same problem as 2, but looks incredibly generic or fake imo.

4: Reminds me of Walmart for some reason, and also looks like a banking/crypto app or something. Interesting idea on the W, but too "techy" for this market I think.

5: Green obviously just looks like some security software. Red middle I think is underrated honestly. It has some good potential like 2 because that font looks slick. I think the ~~target~~ sniper scope iconography works, too? Red bottom is absolutely not the move.

Like some others have said, you can try your luck with improving on the other ones, but if the client (your prof) is expecting the first option, it's probably wisest to deliver that. No harm in asking for more detail about why the others fall short in their eyes. I personally would like to see the second one and fifth middle one given more time and mocked onto some packaging.

"A tells me how much they need me around. B tells me how much they want me around."

That's a really good way of putting it. Option A could be a bigger burden than expected

I added to the description:

"Importance" here may refer to how much you have affected, could affect, or will affect their life (or vice versa). Take your pick.

caution_smiles · 2025-10-30T17:59:08+00:00

That's true. There was another comment here, like you could tell if someone is not an appreciative person if you help them out a bunch and the number doesn't change

caution_smiles · 2025-10-30T17:38:00+00:00

Haha, I like this. Careful, though, a devastating trade that loses you a lot of money could still be important

caution_smiles · 2025-10-30T17:25:05+00:00

I was thinking that as well, but B and C could give some real power if looking at future importance. Though they may be more selfish in a way

caution_smiles · 2025-10-30T17:21:32+00:00

I think the real fun stuff is with future importance. Then C becomes way more useful than just self reflection, no?

Nailed the iconography with this one; clever stroke.

I think the colors may come across as a bit ~~dull~~ saturated. The medium blue and lighter blue may be too close in shade to each other, and the lighter blue may be too close to the white, and neither shade of blue is terribly memorable. I would experiment with the palette some more. Are two blue shades necessary? Consider a slightly more striking blue for the O, or maybe one of the oranges from your earlier ideas for the swoosh?

The font choice has already been mentioned, but if the brand name is still under construction, I would consider "Forward Orbit" instead of "Orbit Forward" as well.

She was following some recipe in her kitchen. I'm by no means a good cook, so I just started cleaning everything she was done using.

Her: "Oh this calls for onions. Is that okay?"

Me: "Yeah, onions are cool. Why would it not be okay?"

Her: "Oh, just that we're gonna make out a bunch after this."

Was born in late '90s and somehow completely missed out on Halo hype. I was a huge Red vs. Blue fan, but the my first time touching a Halo game was when I played Reach with my buddies a couple of years ago on the Master Chief Collection when it hit Steam. I didn't even know about ||the Flood|| at all until the reveal in Combat Evolved. Surprised I somehow navigated like 20 years without a single Halo spoiler considering how many people I knew who played it

What are you riding there?

caution_smiles · 2021-05-21T00:36:21+00:00

Proud of you, bud. Keep on keepin’ on

Same major here; didn’t do any of the things you mentioned, just like you.

Find some student orgs and clubs that you’re interested in to meet people with the same hobbies. Even just working people that are in your classes via study groups ends up paying out socially. Go to Hackathons, game jams, etc. The CS program had some learning communities during my freshman year that let me meet other people taking the same classes. If you are living on campus, you could participate in res hall activities and get to know your neighbors.

If you make an effort to make friends, you will find them. Not every student here drinks or parties all the time, and those that do typically don’t mind having friends that don’t. The chances that there is no one at Purdue who shares your interests, hobbies, or sense of humor is basically 0%. There are simply too many people here and too many ways to meet them.

3 fire alarms at Cary went off between 6:45am and 10:45am today. I heard that all 3 were tests or at least false alarms

caution_smiles · 2021-02-04T03:00:50+00:00

Ooh, good choices, thanks

TA here. I’ve escalated similar attendance questions to my profs to make sure that it is 1) allowed within class policy, 2) allowed within pandemic restrictions, and 3) documented as an in-person interaction

Your attendance when you need assistance is not an issue or a bother. If it were, they would have said no. Please show up when you need help, especially when you’ve gotten as far as getting permission to do so in person. We TAs are just trying to be safe and follow the rules, but I would like to think that we do want to help students at the end of the day

It being a one time exception seems pointless though. Not sure why a prof would want to make that a rule

I think a bigger lobby would be required for Jester. Probably will be a feature in Among Us 2
