Home Page Image 

After post after post on tribe about the home page image I decided to move the topic here and share my thoughts about the image. The art work reminds me of a china doll or the Japanese fan dance girlz w/ a trippy hat and turtle shaped eyez. I really dig the BTS lettering above and below the picture and I think most folks are looking to deep in the art work and trying to find some acid trip imagery. I think the art is mysterious and so is the name Blue Turtle Seduction and they are trying to bring your interest into the band by checking further out the site.

Re: Home Page Image 

Is it a "home page" image? Or as Kestrel clarified on the Tribe.net board, the band's new "logo"?

I echo Dabin's comment there:  "Are they serious?"

Who is the artist?  What is supposed to be SEDUCTIVE about this?  What about the image moves the souls of the peeps it is represented (ie Adam Christian Glenn Jay and Steven?)? 

Thanks.  If I heard more about that, it might be a bit easier to work on the aesthetic revulsion I feel pretty much every time I try and gaze at it.  Averting ones eyes does not seem to be the goal of a branding image.  But then again, I haven't taken 21st century cognitive mindcontrol theory... at least not yet.

Re: Home Page Image 

Hello, this is Jay from the band, first off, thanks for all the support you all have given and continue to give! The new website, like our whole organization, is being built brick by brick, which leads to having to work out kinks and such. We recognize there is still many bugs to work out, but in all honesty, its a great victory to finally have it up and running! We look forward to dialing it in over the next month. That said, I'm really here to respond to the mask icon. The whole concept is 100% my idea, the mask is a real mask made by a street artist in Italy, so Dabin I'm afraid it might be hard to get your apology to him. I don't do acid, so the thought of bad acid trip never even crossed my mind. I don't know why this thought of using this image came but it did, and judging by the flavored comments, I think it is accomplishing the goal of stirring emotions. This image is a possible icon for the band, and is being used on the back corner of the new CD, "13 Floors". But the good news is, this will be one of many icons hopefully that one can associate with the band, AND we have always been open to receiving images from outside folks. And believe me, if we had received anything worth a damn already, we would of already been using it! And if that is making some wheels turn in some of your artistic heads, then note, please no Finding Nemo turtles :) Thanks to all of you for being part of this wild ride with us and I can assure you; the ride is only getting better!

Damnit Chris, you beat me to it. Thats good stuff right there.

And Jay, those Finding Nemo turtles are fuckin CUTE!!!!!! Why not?

No, I agree with Jay, I think the mask is doing her job already. When I first saw it, I couldnt find the right words to describe it and kept searching for how it made me feel. She IS very mysterious and sexy and seductive. Her name is Flow. Thats what I call her. Dont ask, its a long story. The one thing I couldnt get out of my mind when I first saw her was the  Pulp Fictionesque mouth gag ball. Is that what you call em? Im sorry, thats what I see! Its OK, everyone likes to get spanked every now n then right?


Back in the day, South Pacific Islanders would use the skins of porcupinefish for helmets.

Re: Home Page Image 
After all the crazy provocative conversation about The Mask, this thing has permeated our brains! Whethter thats a good or a bad thing, you might know where this quote comes from "At least its not boring" !! Now that it has gotten a Best Summer Ever makeover, I think we've revealed its less confusing side. :) One things for sure, The Spider Circus Bad Acid Mask Lady has stirred up some emotions, and has brought on a shit ton of laffs. Now I feel like its gotta stay in some shape or form......like a Secret Schwippy Turtle Circus Mountain Mardi Gras Teenage Folk Art Convention Farm Union Side Project.
