My observations about the process for creating a new Massachusetts coat of arms, seal, and...flag? — plus a suggestion for new symbolism that balances the contributions of Indigenous and colonist / Revolutionary generations to the Massachusetts story. link.medium.com/iA99pDBj3Bb

Dear @hootsuite: Please put the kerning back where it was. It looks janky AF on Chrome now. Or, here's an idea: Just use the same font and kerning that Twitter does. No need to reinvent the wheel. @hootsuite_Help
Note how @wutrain's Twitter bio breaks with convention to effect a subtle but significant shift in perspective: Not Mayor-Elect OF the City of Boston — "Mayor-Elect FOR the City of Boston."
A joyful vote! If you're a Boston voter, please join me in voting for @wutrain today!
Couldn't help but chuckle just now when I did a search on @AnnissaForBos and there was an Orkin Pest Control ad in the results. Unintended commentary?
How many times, @AnnissaForBos, do we have to keeping about how your "experiences" living in Boston make you more qualified to be Mayor — and yet you refuse to own up to the "experience" of being married to the 54 Million Dollar Man? What's your household income?
@AnnissaForBos you mad @wutrain not going to argue with you!!! #unbothered #nextMayor #MayorofBoston #wutrain
How many seconds, hours and minutes has @AnnissaForBos sucked up saying "the work," "this work," blah, blah, blah?

@johnlumea Yeah, might take that one down for the next update. Especially since a version of it is coming back.
A coat of arms (or flag) design commission must “know how to have the necessary conversation in which design is embedded into every aspect of the search for a solution.”

@brydfly @johnlumea @Medium Do you have a link to the article?
@johnlumea The flag printed uses Pantone 1235c, which is Gold Y.
@johnlumea The proof image (shown above) does look close to the print... but the gray still looks a bit lighter in the fabric real life flag compared to electronic proof.
@johnlumea Key item on this flag was experimenting with two color adjustments: 1. Flames - made redder with Pantone 1795C 2. Fog - made with a non-cool gray - Pantone 8400C The print red looks darker, and the print gray looks a lot lighter. I'm ok with red. Gray is too light in print.
