Then somebody, can't recall who, must have added the "They". Perhaps in analogy to "my children; your kids; their brats"? The specific typographical design, with the colours and the subscript "we", I have always assumed is Scott's. -- Christian R.

I remember doing an "i we they" logo that shortly predated the current one in all caps in a block font in the current colours. I don't remember who chose the blue-red-purple colours. Wade.
