Down Memory Lane: JOLmy Logo Archives
Posted by James Ooi

November 1997 - March 1999

Then known as James Ooi’s Home Page, it did not have a logo. The title James Ooi’s Home Page appear across the header of every page in the site during this period where I changed hosts from GeoCities to XOOM.com.

March 1999 - September 1999

In March 1999, when I moved the site from XOOM.com to Tripod due to the implementation of the annoying XOOMbar, I signed up for the username jolnet, hence the URL jolnet.tripod.com. Together with this, I introduced the first logo (above), with also an intention to register for the domain name jol.net some day.

September 1999 - July 2001

After realizing that jol.net has been taken, I decided to discard the abbreviation JOLnet and adopt JOLmy where “my” is the top level domain for Malaysia. I introduced the 2nd logo (above) to reflect the change.

July 2001 - June 2002

This is a revised logo of the September 1999 version. In September 2000, I registered the domain name jolmy.com. However, it was only 10 months later I added a “.com” wording to the logo in this revision.

June 2002 - August 2004

A colorful logo was introduced together with a complete redesign of the website.

August 2004 - July 2006

After more than 2 years, another change of logo is made, giving prominence to red, yellow and white.

July 2006 - September 2006

The return of the colorful logo, with some changes with the June 2002 version, of course. However, this logo is short-lived, only to be replaced by the current logo after barely 3 months.

September 2006: The Current Logo

The currently logo, bearing the letter “J” on the red background. The name of the site “JOLmy” appears in Liberal font below the logo. As JOLmy now consists of a personal website and a blog, it can be replaced with the name of the website like “James Ooi Online” and “The J Blog” when displayed in their respective sites.

Jeff Ooi to enter politics
Posted by Administrator

Well-known blogger, Jeff Ooi, who blogs in Screenshots, is set to join Democratic Action Party (DAP). A welcoming ceremony has been planned for Tuesday to welcome him into politics, according to a report in Sunday Star. He is also being strongly considered to contest under the DAP ticket in the coming general election, with the Puchong parliamentary seat and Kinrara state assembly seat of Selangor being likely ones.

Earlier this year, Jeff was sued by New Straits Times Press over an alleged defamation in one of his blog post. And what surprised me later on was, some people have mistaken me being the blogger who got sued for his blog. Does my name sound similar? James Ooi vs. Jeff Ooi?
