Lots of my fellow ScienceBloggers have been playing with the Official Seal Generator (Tara, Steinn, Bora, and Josh, and probably others by the time this posts). I'm just punchy enough to play along, but I can't decide which way to go with this. So, below the fold, I present the competing options for the Official Seal of Uncertain Principles. Vote for your favorite in the comments, if you're so moved:

There have been a number of responses to my Science Is Hard post over the last several days, and I've been trying to come up with something to say about them. This is the second of two posts responding to comments by some of my fellow ScienceBloggers.
Turning to Steinn's first post on the subject,…
(Now that I look at the title, that sounds like an incredibly tepid harness-team command. "On, Moderation! Forward, with prudent speed!" I could clear that up by adding "Comment" in the middle, but I kind of like the image...)

Hello, Science Blogs readers. Many of you may be new to Mixing Memory, so I thought that for the first post at the new site, I would introduce myself a little. By a little, I mean a very little, because in case you hadn't noticed, I blog anonymously. Maybe that will change someday, but for the…
Welcome to the new home of Uncertain Principles. If you've been reading the site over at Steelypips.org, that probably means something to you. If you're here for the first time, that might take a little explanation.
I started a book log in August of 2001, and quickly got drawn into reading a lot of…
I disapprove of the drawing of that carbon atom. I don't think the orbitals are right.
And isn't the whole "electrons-whizzing-around-nucleus- like-little-planets" thing a bit outdated?
A real Seal Generator needs to also incorporate an Automatic Latin Translator for generating mottoes.
Somewhat predictably, I vote for the second: "Oooh! Shiny thing!" :)

Sadly, four years of high school Latin did not stick well enough for me to be able to translate "Oooo! Shiny Thing!"
Perhaps "O! Res splendida!" although there might be a better word for "shiny".
The dog. Definately the dog.
I agree with andy; a pre-quantum solar system atom is inworthy to represent Uncertain Principles. How about overlapping p and x bell curves?
You know, you always need something on the reverse of the seal. Just an observation.

The back side has either the master equation of my grand unified theory, or a list of 80's pop song lyrics. You don't know which until you look.
