A new name for the career group is still up in the air, but there was one suggestion made that I kind of like: Mosaic. Donald Trump didn't like it, but as James said, it might work for our purposes. Anyway, I was thinking of some of the implications that were brought up with having the name Mosaic. Let's see... diversity, but at the same time unity. Individually, we're a bunch of broken pieces, but together we're a work of art. Someone said it was classy-sounding, too.
We tried to think of a motto, as well. I jokingly suggested, "If you don't feel you belong anywhere else, come here." I was a little surprised that some people liked it. They probably took it differently from what I originally intended. I say jokingly because I meant that it sometimes feels like there is no single category you can place our group under. You can't really call it the singles group, because there are a few married couples there. Although it's going to be a separate group from the college group, some people who identify with the career group are still in college. I don't know... I thought the motto would make us sound like a bunch of rejects or leftovers. haha that's not necessarily bad either. Maybe it should be called the "People-that-are-25-to-35-years-old-(give-or-take-5-years)-and-have-no-kids" group. That's the least common denominator that I can think of. Actually, scratch that... that's not gonna work either.
So I guess I don't see any reason why Mosaic wouldn't fit. Unless a much better name comes up, this might actually end up being official. Eric and I were thinking that we should make up a logo and place Mosaic Productions on all our future skit videos. Hmmm... that actually sounds like a pretty decent name for a video production company. I guess Mosaic can be used for pretty much almost anything (except for apparently a masculine Apprentice team name.) It's like the chicken of group names or something.
