Smokey sings the blues

Sometimes you need graphic evidence...and sometimes you just need graphics. As a founding feline of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists, I am taking a particular interest in the recent efforts to revamp our beloved AAOMPT logo. While the stylized spinal segment logo means a lot to many of us, it may not appeal to the public at large. I respectfully suggest that the apparently disarticulated spinal segments surrounded by  a shade of burgundy suggesting the color of blood may be more appropriate for an organization of spine surgeons, not manual physical therapists. Why don't we emphasize our manual paws-on approach with more appropriate graphics and ditch the burgundy altogether? My first choice of color is, of course, gray, but I will compromise on a dignified shade of deep royal Blue Devil blue. Herewith is my submission...let me know what you think...
