g f l A j O i b! A little game. I took letters from the logos of some websites and I grey-scaled them to make them less recognizable. What sites are they from?

Sure, post away. I guess I should do an inline image too, huh?

I feel like I SHOULD know the A and the B, but I'm drawing a blank.

All of yours are right so far, BP.

You're thinking of BlamaZamaDingDong.com, which is incorrect.

Sorry. I thought lack of comments meant no one gave a shit.

This might help.

~~Can the same site be represented twice?~~Oh, sticky T threw me off ... b is boingboing.

The second to last (l) is wired ... I would never have got it without the color because it doesn;t look at all like an i.

These are hard! I thought i was from slashdot and b was from Wired, but that didn't make any sense!

posted by muddgirl 03 January | 14:40

Yeah, I thought it would be a lot harder without the color ;) B isn't boingboing.

I'll put the answers somewhere and link to it so as not to spoil it for anyone who wants to drive themselves nuts.

Damn, I knew one was from Mefi, but I forgot about Projects. Tricky iconomy!

Huh, I coulda sworn boingboing had multiple colors in it's logo. But I'm not stupid, it is!
