Gene, I just read the new issue and in your publisher’s note, you show the new ‘official’ logo and it’s a pile of crap! Seriously! What gives? Is that Shaolin or what? ---

beauty in the eye of the beholder The new logo is appearing on a lot of the ‘high-end’ shaolin stuff - some really nice stuff actually - it very classy, not cheesy like a lot of the touristy mementos being pawned off in the last two decades. The meditating figure is in the style of local folk art, which I believe echos some of the ancient art of the area, but I’m not sure about that. To me, it looks like whipped cream with a cherry on top. I remember in San Jose, CA, we had a similar observation on a [quetzalcoatl statue](http://www.sanjose.com/underbelly/unbelly/Sanjose/Quetzy/quetzy.html). The buddhist retort might be like KL’s, that abstract art is kind of a mirror, but then again, the buddhist retort should be unattached to turd fixations. In fact, I remember when studying in an Ashram in Rishikesh India, we had a big discussion of turd mandalas. ---

lol - gold indeed!! Now I don’t know but I been told it’s hard to run with the weight of gold Other hand I heard it said it’s just as hard with the weight of lead You weren’t the only one to pick up on that quote here. I probably shouldn’t have said not to quote me. That’s an open invitation to do just that. ---

Nice distraction, gene I don’t care what you say. The new Shaolin logo is still a turd. How fitting. How can you look at that and not see a turd? [Next page](https://forum.kungfumagazine.com/t/omg-the-new-shaolin-logo-is-a-steaming-turd/28402.md?page=2)
