Mod | @Thomas - I'm not arguing that it looks like a real bookmark, I'm merely pointing out that ELL is hardly the first place where that double-tailed shape is used to depict or portray a bookmark. The sun may look more like this than this, but you'll still find suns more like the latter in corporate logos. | |
| Oct 10, 2016 at 9:16 | comment | added | Thomas | @J.R. What I get: more graphical design of bookmarks with similar shapes, but no pictures of actual such bookmarks. | |
| Oct 10, 2016 at 9:12 | comment | added | avpaderno | @J.R. Oh! You were referring to the answers in that question. I apologize: I misunderstood your comment. | |

@Thomas - RE: I never owned a bookmark that resembled the logo... Neither have I, but try typing red bookmark into Google Images, and see what you get.

| Oct 10, 2016 at 7:44 | comment | added | avpaderno | @J.R. I was referring to your This was never mentioned when the design was being discussed. If that meant they never said what appears in the logo, it doesn't seem true, since they talk of the bookmark shape. | |
| Oct 9, 2016 at 22:10 | comment | added | J.R. Mod | @kiamlaluno - The question that I linked to says a lot of different things. | |
| Oct 9, 2016 at 17:07 | comment | added | avpaderno | @J.R. The question you linked says: "I'd like to keep the bookmark shape as it is." | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 11:43 | comment | added | Thomas | That's great to know! Had I known that before, I would have put more thought into phrasing the question so that agreement/disagreement votes would be more applicable. | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 11:42 | comment | added | ColleenV Mod | Oh, no - voting on meta has no effect on your reputation. You should propose anything. The idea is that we can get some idea how much agreement there is among the community on something. | |

| Oct 6, 2016 at 10:21 | comment | added | J.R. Mod | Hmmmm.... Interesting... This was never mentioned when the design was being discussed. | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 9:35 | comment | added | Thomas | By the way: what's the semantics of downvoting? Does it mean "this is a bad question" or "I don't think the logos are very similar" or something else altogether? | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 9:12 | comment | added | user230 | I don't think it's so obvious that it's a bookmark. I'd actually forgotten that was what it was supposed to be until Chenmunka's comment reminded me. | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 8:39 | comment | added | Thomas | Besides, I never owned a bookmark that resembled the logo :-) | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 8:38 | comment | added | Thomas | How can you be sure? Mari-Lou A thinks it might be a medal ribbon. | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 8:31 | comment | added | Chenmunka | It is just you. It is clearly a bookmark and a good design. | |
