goforbroke Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 So, a library is a place you can borrow books? Ok. That makes sense. Quick follow up question: what's a book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Terrible. not to mention it doesnt look like a logo for a library at all. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Epic library fail.If a library can not promote proper spelling then it has failed in one of its core principles.Agreed. I understand they're trying to reach an urban audience, but they should be attempting to reach them to help with their literacy needs, not abandoning the English language for what's popular.Also, shouldn't there be an "R" in there if it's supposed to be short for Brooklyn? It says "Booklyn"...or was that intentional too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It's not "urban", it's traditional.And commonly used abbreviations are not "illiteracy". The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 also, since when is it a core principal of a library to promote grammar? that's what schools are for. libraries are for cataloging various media for easy access to a large population.

crashcarson15 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 This logo is just a comment on the pitiful state of our society. Where people are too lazy to even spell out a single word anymore.Or it's a comment on, oh I don't know, our society 200 years ago? Bklyn has been around as an abbreviation for years.Looks like we can't call San Francisco by the name "San Fran" anymore—that'd show we're too lazy to spell out a single word there. Or Sacramento can't be "Sacto" anymore. Hell, Newcastle United should change their name if they're too lazy to spell out the -upon-Tyne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
