I just got back from seeing Harry Potter. Did anyone else notice the crest on Gilderoy Lockhart's dueling vest? Here's Kenneth Branagh in a publicity still:

and here's a close-up of the crest (best I could do):

yup that sure looks like the geocaching logo. Let me have a few more beers and I'm sure it will look even more like it when I'm done.

On a related subject, I ask that everyone watch South Park Dec 7 at 9 PM CST. They will be playing the same episode that was on tonight. In the show, Cartman is running his own business. As he is showing his "clients" his brochures, he keeps opening and closing them. Onthe cover of these brochures, I swear it looks like it has a logo exactly the Geocaching.com logo. I could be crazy, I could be tired, heck I could even be drunk, BUt I could swear it WAS the Geocaching logo. I even got that feeling in my gut when I saw it. Please watch it and let me know if I am crazy or not.

Well, that's the best pic I could find of it. But trust me, on the big screen, when it's bigger than a handful of pixels, it's obvious.

 

It's the public domain logo. It's surrounded by a shield. Here, I removed the shield part:

Mock me if you must, but you'll beg forgiveness after you've seen it for yourself!

Must I stare at it for a long time? Because I've been looking at it for about 6.3 seconds and its not coming to me. Mayhaps I can tilt my head this way.

but I'm not drinking now and I don't see the X in it. You just have the goecaching on the brain syndrome. You'll start seeing it everywhere, if you go shopping at Grand Union, you'll see it. Gristedes, there it is again. Goodyear Tires, oh my, there it is again. GE Capital, General Electric, GMC, GMAC, Gillette, Gallo, oh my God they're everywhere, geologos to the left of me, to the right of me!!!!

 

With proper therapy you should be ok.

 

Cache you later,

The cross is there, but it's not very clear in this blowup. Well, nothing is, I guess. The two dark areas inside the G are the ends of the vertical line. I'll just have to live in humiliated disgrace until a better image comes around. It was so clear in the movie!

Last thing I need, when someone sees the GX logo on one of my caches, is someone thinking that I'm a fan of that assclown Gilderoy from Harry Potter. icon_razz.gif

 

(I looked for more high rez pics of him in his get-up there, but couldn't find any)

Let's see ... because the movie was "in the can" well before the geo logo was created, anyone who has used it should expect to receive a "cease and desist" order in the mail really soon. icon_wink.gif

 

(And while we always enjoy Kenneth Branagh's acting, we were very disappointed he chose [or was directed to] underplay Lockhart ... the character was so much more flamboyant and charismatic in the book. That was the biggest disappointment in the movie for our family.)

Howdy, WD! Here's a crop of that portion of the scene where Cartman shows one of those brochures to the two other kids. It's easy to see how you could've been fooled.

 

Cheers ...

Rich,

 

Thanks for posting that. It certainly hella close. All of the colors and basic shapes are exactly the same. There is the possibility that inspiration could have come from the Geocaching logo.
