Little s and a in the PF logo?

  • Thread starter daniel_i_l
  • Start date
In summary, there is a small "s" at the base of the "P" and a small "a" at the base of the "F" in the PF logo, which has caught the attention of some users. The thread discussing this has been made a sticky due to the frequent inquiries about it. It is suggested to use the Prime skin to see the logo more clearly. Also, there has been no official announcement about the passing of a member, but a memorial page is in the works. Some users may not be aware of this yet.

Why is there a little s a the base of the P and a little a at the base of the F in the PF logo (at the top of the page)?

Oh.

I was wondering about the same thing.

Since we keep getting questions on this, I'm going to make this thread a sticky. I would sticky the original thread, but the title isn't as likely to catch the attention of those with this specific question, and it is linked in this thread.

Use the Prime skin, if you're not already using it.

This happened some time ago. Why has there been no official announcement yet? I know there is a memorial page in the works, but there are probably still members that would be more than willing to contribute to that who still do not know about SA's passing.
