Slighty OT-But this has been bugging me
And I don't normally give a rip about the "housekeeping" threads.
i.e. Uniform designs, JMU fonts, shades of this or shades of that.
BUT, our map up there ^^^ needs the Eastern shore. Yea, it looks kinda funny, yea it looks like a tail, or worse a "flap", but it's still part of the State and part of the map.
so, on an otherwise uninspiring, uneventful Thursday afternoon, anyone else care?
Agree? Disagree? GFY?!?

What about Tangier Island? That's part of the commonwealth too. Inexplicably not on the logo either.

Good thing you're not in North Carolina, we wouldn't have an Outer Banks.

if you want to include the Eastern Shore then you might as well include West Virginia too

No name calling here, but got to agree with Dunk. Though Dunk might have gone about his concern with a little different approach. Something about the eastern shore is intriguing and completes the state.

I actually though about that too. The thing with the ES is that it's a good chunk of land. It's easy to have Alaska without the Aleutians, Florida without the keys.
It's kind of the equivalent of not including Long Island, minus the population.

Let’s all say it together. Commonwealth. Cawwww-monnnnnn-weaaaaaalth. The Commonwealth of Virginia. Such a better ring to it than “state.”

RE: Slighty OT-But this has been bugging me
Simple solution is to give that land to Maryland. That state already looks goofy.
And while we're at it, why is nobody complaining about the upper part of the logo- the top part of Virginia is all faded. I think that was the artist's way of saying Northern VA is less important.
FIX THAT TOO OMFG!!!!

I live there, and it is less important.

I think that was implied by the missing Delmarva... or at least the outline of its geographic footprint would be visable.

AGREED, and good catch. I missed that. Long live the good people of Exmore!
Admin, fix the logo.
