On that note… I feel like I’m pointing to an elephant in the room, but the cheesecake on the nosecone is, I dunno, weird? Like I’d grok it if it was a science fiction movie thing ( so cognative dissonace, much retro ) but this is a real world thing. To me at least the image sits awkwardly in a message which also highlights corporate recognition of Pride week and BLM, in a world ostensibly about getting girls into STEM, post #metoo, etc.
Do you think anyone said, “hey, this might detract from the significance of what we’re doing? Maybe we stick with a logo and not dance with potentially problematic imagery?” I wonder what the risk/reward was they were thinking about, though maybe it was just a collective shoulder shrug and “we think it looks kind of cool.”
