FROG/RALPH Logo????


My riding buddy is putting me through the computer loops on this one - hope it all works ....


What’s In a Name?

My pal Brian has stated that he is changing the basis for our F.R.O.G. acronym. He wants to substitute “fit” for “fat” so that Fat Riding Old Guy becomes Fit Riding Old Guy. I have no problem with that change. In fact, I am quite willing to allow you, dear reader, to insert whatever “F” word you deem appropriate. (I was thinking “fortunate”, “friendly”, “foolish”, etc. for those of you who were going in another direction.)

What is important to me is that the acronym be preserved as FROG. During a long career as a government bureaucrat, I learned that the success of an endeavor is often determined by the quality of the acronym.  The FROG name has worked well and has come to symbolize an attitude about riding that could be summed up in the phrase on a shirt given to me by Brian at the end of our trip to Maine: the journey is the destination. The FROG name also conjures up a nice visual that we can play with.

I would like to introduce the new FROG logo. My wife Barbara had this image created by a graphic artist and gave it to me as a 31st wedding anniversary gift. (Isn’t that just too cool!) This logo is based on actual unretouched photos from the Maine trip. 

Any project that has two good acronyms and a cool logo is destined for success.

 PS. The visual suggested by RALPH isn’t as good as FROG.  I don’t think that I would care to see a picture of Two FROGS RALPHing.
