** Caution: EXTERNAL Sender ** Hello, everyone,
Someone posted a question on Reddit’s Metric forum asking if there were metric logos and symbols he could use. The example he gave was to identify toolboxes with metric and USC tools. Nobody knew of one, and a few suggestions were made. The discussion is here: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FMetric%2Fcomments%2F1eo3j8s%2Fsymbol_for_metric%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7Cdadec5daf97049d3cfea08dcb8e59294%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C638588543714021709%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=FbKmsD%2Fl2hHkJCVz9kDovp3096LmCCeXyZXfSkdwWx4%3D&reserved=0 This led me to post a question on Reddit "Should we create a metric symbol or logo?" A metric logo would be useful to identify equipment or toolkits that are metric, or to identify technical drawings as being metric. The post is here, but I haven’t had any replies yet: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FMetric%2Fcomments%2F1eohjpk%2Fshould_we_create_a_metric_symbol_or_logo%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7Cdadec5daf97049d3cfea08dcb8e59294%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C638588543714021709%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=kCxxczi2FaWC5JaO%2BJ0lMixapBA5vnQFuRpknfn12mI%3D&reserved=0 I also asked: * Is there a need for such a symbol, especially in the US where a lot of metric use is concealed from the public? * Would businesses use a logo that meant "We take orders in metric sizes" or "We supply metric-sized parts"? * Would businesses use a logo that indicated a product was built to metric sizes or specifications? * Would potential customers recognise a metric symbol, if it were included in a supplier's literature or advertising? What is your response to these questions? I would welcome your thoughts on this. If you have a Reddit account please make a comment there.
