Okay, I just had a huge 'WOOHOO' - moment, haha. In The Netherlands, we have this annual event, the so-called Top 2000, a countdown of the 2000 best songs ever made. The countdown starts with number 2000 on Christmas day and finishes with the last musical chords a few seconds to midnight on New Year's Eve. The last couple of years, I've tried to get Avril's newer material onto the list, without any success. Next week is the week to vote for the list, and tonight they started with a Top-2000-quiz, some kind of pre-party, on tv. Anyway, 5 mins ago, they started the quizshow with a musical summary of the last year, about covid-19, the US Elections and a lot of other things. I jumped off my couch when they showed the videoclip of WAW, explaining how Avril has battled Lyme disease and used one of the songs off her latest album to support all the heroes working in health care during this global pandemic. I mean, basically no one in the general public knows the name 'Avril Lavigne' unless you sing sk8erboi or girlfriend in relation. So this was sooooo unexpected! A tv-show that is part of one of the biggest national events of the year (seriously, during the last week of the year half of the country tunes in to that particular radiostation to follow the Top 2000), randomly uses relatively NEW material of Avril and picks it as one of 4 (!) songs to summarize the year 2020. That's kinda H U G E to me, lol. Lol, I'm superhyped by this unexpected promo on primetime national tv, haha!! Perhaps she'll end up in the list with something other than IWY or Complicated. Had to share it with you guys 😁😍 OOh I hope so!! I'm from The Netherlands too and I know the struggle with getting newer songs on the radio!

So... I don't know where to post this or talk about it. But I kinda made a logo for the HAW era LOL xD Since the album came out I was trying to figure out what logo could work since we don't have an official one. We've talked about it here and some of you said the best option was a wave or something like that. So I took the album's name literally and made Avril's head above water LOL. This is a PNG file. I made a silhouette out of one of Avril's pictures and then just waves xD i know it's "simple" but idk...logos usually are simple xD So i just wanted to share it with you and see what you guys think. I also made an edit to show how could acuatlly be displayed on the screen (i made the PC version) If you guys like it, maybe we could use it, and if not, maybe its's a starting point (??) to create a better one? idk D: Version 1 Version 2

As a fellow Dutchie, the last thing I would have expected is for Avril to be acknowledged on TV like that. Wow. I usually watch some of that stuff but I didn't this time. The last couple of years, I've tried to get Avril's newer material onto the list, without any success. Next week is the week to vote for the list, and tonight they started with a Top-2000-quiz, some kind of pre-party, on tv. Maybe we should all try to get her newer songs into the top 2000 together? Not sure how many people on here can vote. So... I don't know where to post this or talk about it. But I kinda made a logo for the HAW era LOL xD Is it time to add "Graphic Designer" right next to "Wig Detective" on your resume?

Nice job Also I must ask, how do you turn the layout of the forum dark? Mine is white and blue and I can't seem to find the place to change it, but I'd really love to -- I find it so much easier on the eyes when it's dark.

I am on mobile right now so can’t remember exactly how to do it but if you click on Profile and then Edit Profile there should be a setting somewhere to change the theme. You might not be able to do it on mobile though, you have to do it on a desktop.

And oh, it's a google extension i downloaded. It basically turn every page on google chrome to dark mode. And yeah, that's why I did it, i work on the computer a lot and everything being white and bright it's hella annyoing xD The extensions it's called "Dark reader" and it has a darth vader as the logo xD by the way, just discovered it yesterday that you can change the theme of bandaids. On edit profile and then settings. I have the under my skin theme 😊

I like the logo but I don’t think it’s very “Avril” like the other logos are. I feel like maybe a Gothic looking cross might suit the era better since she wore one in the HAW music video and it was largely used in the imagery for IFILWTD as well. I feel like it’s also more her style.

I just took the name and made it into a logo LOL but idk if a cross it's the best option, like, isn't it too generic? Unless it's a specific and fancy cross, like the star from LG or the X from UMS, they are basic but it's a unique design. In that case i think a cross could work for sure

Avril should do something like this for IWIM mixed with scenes from IWY. Or to any song for the 20th anniversary of LG. This is really cool and unique. Made me remember how much I listened to this song 10 years ago! Oh my. Look how much fun she's having. She sounds amazing.

I had no idea there even was one. here on the website it's that little cute skull which is literally on the back of the booklet in one corner, smaller than my hope for future lol xD i don't know how it was chose here cause i wasn't here back then, but i guess a green star or a black star would have been more fitting (?) idk xd Edit: and what's a mystery for me it's the AL symbol xD it look familiar but maybe it's because i saw it here

There is no official logo for GL, but we chose the cutesy skull since it appears on the side of her piano on the album artwork. In other parts of the era, she used a black star with a green border (like on the drum kit for the tour and CD inlay).
AL didn’t have an official logo either but the half skull half heart was used on some of the tour merch.

Not gonna lie, her best logo is the TBDT one, it's elaborated, it fits the era perfectly and it's unique. UMS was my favorite but I gotta admit that the TBDT logo is just iconic. 2007 was definitely her year.
I kinda wish she would've kept the tradition to make a specific logo for each era. I hope someone asks her to do it in the next Q&A (expected to happen in 2025) and now that she's going back to pop-rock it's the perfect chance to do it. (unless she changes the era direction again and maybe we will get elctro-disco avril: Ramona Vandella)
