#90 closed enhancement (worksforme)

suggestion logo in english - change verb throw up

Description

Currently the following logos appear in the www.tol-project.org web page:

"Keeping an eye on the Past to throw up the Future" (English version)
"Analizando el Pasado para determinar el Futuro" (Spanish version)

I suggest changing the phrase - to throw up the future. The verb throw up could
be replaced with the following verbs: anticipate, meet or predict.
Throw up in this logo means to devolver - vomitar.

Throw up: "Eject the contents of the stomach through the mouth".

Although the exact translation of tol-project's slogan "Keeping an eye on
the Past to throw up the Future" may be taken word by word like this definition,
there is much more. The two ideas we really want to point out are:

First of all, what we use TOL for is taking lots of data, processing them(sometimes
very, very much), and finally be able to produce something that is not really what
came in, but it sure looks like it. Secondly: Although we can perfectly do it, it is not
an easy task!

"Just do it", "The real thing", "Let your fingers do the walking"... and now "Keeping
an eye on the Past to throw up the Future"!!

If I may, LAUNCH (LANZAR) is another idea for a verb that seems to be a be a
good fit for the meaning described without the associated literal meaning
that 'throw up' has.

Best regards
