  1. This attempted logo prompts no response except “What IS that, anyway?”

    After reading the explanation, it only gets worse. Why five continents–doesn’t Mary care about all seven? (If it’s only the inhabited continents . . . aren’t there six of those?) Why is the cross so pathetic-looking (like crossed red french fries) and pushed to the side?

    And what could the alternatives possibly have looked like that some group of people chose this one?
