Penny for your thoughts...

We're thinking a strapline/sub-heading thingy might be a nice thing to have. Mumsnet has "By parents for parents" but what would work best for Gransnet?

We've canvassed the good folk at GNHQ/MNHQ who had two clear favourites from a longer list. What we'd love to know is whether you prefer one or t'other - or whether you have any other thoughts about what would work. The two in question are

Older, wiser but definitely not quieter

A bit older, a lot wiser

Thanking you grin

I'll put my thinking cap on.

I'll have you know that I have all my own teeth Alima
(well, nearly all, bar a couple of crowns, one missing and lots of fillings)

Glad that I'm not the only one who isn't happy with the "wiser" thing, I think it comes across as a bit smug, but that might just be my take on it. confusedblush

Perfect GG. We could have a set of dentures as the logo. Sorted.

I really do dislike the idea that we think we are wiser. I have your recent 'meet the author' book going round my head (it's very goodsmile) so my thoughts are around something like:

GRANSNET
'for another bite of life'

kittylester Tue 01-Aug-17 21:20:23

Or wise witty and warm?

Menopaws Tue 01-Aug-17 21:15:21

Still got it

phoenix Tue 01-Aug-17 21:06:01

PS, that post was in response to the HQ OP, not to any other members posts. blush

To be honest, I don't like either, and mainly because of the use of the word "wiser", which I think might sound a bit off putting to mums who may have been given a lot of the current "advice" (which seems to change so often!)

Sorry to post a negative opinion, without a positive suggestion, bit brain tired tonight!

Ana Tue 01-Aug-17 20:48:13

Or a musical bra! grin

Yes, I like kitty's last suggestion too.

rosesarered Tue 01-Aug-17 20:44:07

I was thinking 'for fun and support' but it sounded like a lively truss.grin

rosesarered Tue 01-Aug-17 20:42:30

I like that kitty my favourite so far! smile

kittylester Tue 01-Aug-17 19:57:55

Following nina's suggestion - Wisdom, wit and warmth.

Eglantine19 Tue 01-Aug-17 18:03:27

Something to do with "generation" except I can't quite get there. Re-generation?
Information generation?
Conversation, information, something something..generation?
Oh well it kept me occupied on my way to the shops!

eglantine grin it is maybe a bit "Rocky Horror Picture Show" ... but we are, aren't we? smile

Christinefrance Tue 01-Aug-17 12:44:55

I like that one ninathenana

ninathenana Tue 01-Aug-17 12:25:02

Wisdom and wit

Alima Tue 01-Aug-17 12:24:05

For edgy oldies?

Ana Tue 01-Aug-17 12:05:45

For Grownups - not for the Fainthearted!

(that's on a bad day! grin

kittylester Tue 01-Aug-17 12:02:56

Whilst all the suggestions are good, I don't think any of them convey the irreverence or warmth of the site.

JackyB Tue 01-Aug-17 11:46:29

"Embracing life" is good - I was going to suggest "Come here for a cuddle".

And yes - the logo is not really very apt.

Riverwalk Tue 01-Aug-17 11:25:54

Gransnet
That Generation

ffinnochio Tue 01-Aug-17 11:15:29

Embracing Life

....... because that's what we all do, isn't it? The good and the bad and the everydayness of it.

I vote for a new logo.

Tizliz Tue 01-Aug-17 11:04:22

How about 'old enough to know better, wise enough not to care'
