I think they're fabulous :) The two thinkgs I'd comment on, and really it's
just me being nit picky, is cost if we have a dark background, while it
will only amount to a few cent extra per piece, that may addd up over
larger amounts, and with regard to referring back to the frankenscience,
would it be the type of thing that Joe Public could see/take as a joke?
I'm all for reclaiming it and making it our own, I think that it's hugely
important that it is, but I'm not sure that the brand logo is the first
place to do that, just cause someone somewhere would take it up wrong and
that might cost funding. But with all that said, I'm incredibley hyper
aware and sometimes overly paranod about these things, and my sense of
humour just covers dry and droll, so I most likely am over thinking it all
