I think it looks creepy as well.
jackjohnson

Its got everyone talking about a logo...Pretty smart
dvander

it is clearly a Plurk. That's just what they look like. 
bearclawcoffee
asks
is this available on mobile and or SMS?
steverosebush

My God, I thought it was a ham with feet.
jimlyons

AndyinFinland

the same way about the logo as Leo. Changed the one on my profile. Maybe it's our age, Leo
TJCS63

the default logo... off-beat and amusing 
shaneo

the karma creatures are cool, sort of, but is not sure what the heck they are.

the decapitated dog logo is just sick. (And not good sick either.)

the Plurk logo. It's a zombie dog.
SierraPhotog
says
the logo can be changed in your profile; looks like it's all karma-based, tho
daynah
hates
it too! Creepy!
lu_lu
says
it looks like ham, with legs. somewhat offensive. zombie dog would need a head to eat other dog's brains.
Nostrum354
says
I agree. It looks like a ham with legs
fsulawyer
loves
that he can replace the headless dog with the wingless bird. By why do they all have missing body parts? The bat is even 1 eyed
heavensrevenge
asks
why the beheaded dog looks so happy...
ZillaFan
thinks
it reminds me of John Carpenter's The Thing for some reason I cannot comfortably explain. Is that a new head it is growing??? Weird graphic.
kasnj
says
amen to that - hate it!
SiggiHrafn
thinks
that you have to earn karma points in order to "purchase" nicer logos.
yorgle
feels
that you all should just change it to one of the other Karma 0 logos
jimmyb
says
They're all pretty weird.
chimney
is
more or less ok with the logo, but finds it a little wierd as well
danlovejoy
says
They're all kind of grotesque.
spsmyth
says
looks like a cartoon canned ham with little legs--disturbing zombie imagery.
spsmyth

So zero Karma means you get headless Dogma?

Pretty much!

Leo, you can change your karma creature in your profile settings, under customize profile.

It's a pet ham!

markschulz

its hard enough to succeed with a new service, the logo won't help
lazarus

definitely needs a different default logo
daigo

jfull15

yeah i dont like the logo, but i like the style of the site. it's original
that? offensive? lol
kacy
says
You can change the logo. You have four or five options if your karma is less than 10.
jfull15
says
my logo is like the pig thing now. but its bad PR to have your default logo a beheaded dog.
kacy
says
Well, the name "plurk" isn't the most pleasant either.
jfull15
says
hahaha. yeah def. i wonder if leo came back tomorrow morning how many "unread" things he'd have. that would be scary.
kacy

Thank goodness you press mark all as read
jfull15

I'm having a similar problem with my RSS feeds. I just want to read them all, and now my free time is slowly going away!

Oops, not really an accurate feed. It says that I am saying what some of my other friends are saying. Hopefully they'll fix this.
jfull15

is plurk in beta?
plurk is in headless candidate. j/k
Schwarz

any web 2.0 service is always in beta
jfull15
says
hahhahaha. like insurance.
guesses pple don't get that mutant creatures on plurk represent the future. mutants & toxic evolution is the inevit wave of the future.
kinda likes it.
jackcollins
says
That *IS* strange. Maybe we should look up the origin of the name Plurk now.
kacy
says
jackcollins Check out their blog
kacy
says
They have multiple suggestions for the name plurk
It looks like a beheaded dogbert.
p00bahr

Doesn't bother me really, reminds of a cartoon that used to be with those four little monsters running around
dougbrooks

Here's a version with his head back on friendfeed.com/e/b01fb4a...
nightsky
wishes
plurkers could create their own logos.
Roeurn
says
I kind of wish that, but it gives Plurk that unique look.
MikeLewis
says
I switched mine to the sitting confused....monster thing..
marlenunez
thinks
it's awful and also, that it will generate buzz for Plurk, which they are so much in need at this point.
dane
says
First thing I'm going to do: work out how to change the logo.
Dasme
says
It's interesting if nothing else Much better than looking at birds lifting a whale...

spldrttngrl
says
Was thinking the same thing myself???
danlondon
says
switch it to the bonked out cat logo in your settings!
LindaEskin
thinks
it's a newbie detector. If you still have the dog-ham you must be new. (Or they tried to go for a dog-cow thing, and missed.)
davidblock
says
Listen... I appreciate letting everyone know I'm new, but how about a seedling, or a cute puppy, rather than a flying cycloptic thingy?
scim
says
it kinda fits the crazy style of this site/app though
DSN☞
says
Not all of us are brilliant code monkeys & fabulous artist (bscloseddoors.blogspot.c...)
davidblock

Speak for yourself.
blackfeathers

davidblock, if you think about it, there's alwys those cute puppies etc. evrywhere. there needs to be a place for cycloptic thingys too
davidblock
says
true 'nuf... but, I'm rather particular about my iconography. Can't be having symbolism that identifies me incorrectly. I kid, I kid.
LindaEskin
says
I kinda like the pensive little ducky-thing.
frog
says
I love that, what's sticking out of the dog body is a dog bone. Perfect. But what does it have to do with Plurk? Its one of lifes mysteries
ChangeForge...
says
Hah, I was commenting that it seems like this is a wierd mix of monkeybone/edward scissorhands / dr. seuss.
daamsie
says
For me, I don't mind id, but i've changed mine to a flying squiggle.
JAG
says
I need more karma to change anything. Go figure they are having trouble with the karma due to spike in activity.
you can change that in your prefs
JAG
says
right but only a few choices ATM.
we are currently optimizing the algorithm behind karma calculation. it is expected to be updated again in the next couple of hours
haruszpapa

it too. wish it could be removed from the timeline background. it's annoying.
Scruffy Bob
says
I changed mine to a headed dog thing. Much more pleasant.
Hi everybody!
likes
his floating eye, but wishes he could place the bling anywhere.
laurenette
feels
that it is a meaningless and ugly logo
I actually like it. It's different than the glossy, shiny web 2.0 logo you see everywhere. Besides look how much people are talking about it
__**i was hungry sorry**__ *Burp* excuse plz
LindaEskin
says
Whoulda thunk the Monster.com monster would've made the big time?
It's like a dog that ate a lit M80. All it needs is a little smoke.
Ditto, I also have Birdclops
PolarBear
thinks
of it as a ham with legs, it is less disturbing and more delicious that way.
Anome
says
The headless dog logo reminds me of a Mambo T-shirt. Or possibly Reg and Pete's Dog Trumpet.
ryan
says
I Changed mine to the winged dot.
ryan
says
Need more karma....
concur
ryan
says
I thought these insanely A.D.D. inducing threads are the reason Plurk is so addictive.
Double concur. Instead of opting out of threads you should be able to "follow" certain threads
ryan
says
That is true. Too many threads will make everything irrelevant. But I dread the idea of having to click 'Follow' on the ones that I want.
MichaelKing
says
You can change that icon
justinzero
thinks
the headless dog is the best part of plurk so far.
Lasha
says
It makes it memorable. It's subliminnal!
mdestis

I changed mine quickly. It is a little disturbing to me.
Lasha

I changed mine too, but because I didn't prefer it.

clith

the headless dog, and the whole Plurk design sensibility in this area.
tcooper185
thinks
the bone-headed dog will keep him from using Plurk at work, since he's getting strange looks over the cubicle wall.
KayDub
says
Do check out editing your profile. More "mascot's" to choose from, more choices with more Karma, although the dog is one of my favorites.
geekomancer

seems friendly enough to me... can't fault the dog for being born that way...we should all be nice to the headless dog..embrace dog 
barron

one of the 50-karma characters, but only has 35 karma. How did that happen?
nicatronTg

Plurk means to 'Puke' because of seeing a head less dog all the time
