A bit about my colorblindness...
My Colorblindness
I am color blind to a degree. I am not sure of the exact nature of my deficiency (it has been a long time since I was tested), but from tests I have taken online it appears that I have Anomalous Trichromasy (anomalous vision, all three color cones presnet) most likely Protanomaly (anomalous green cones). While I do have red/green cones, some are either missing or are not functioning properly. The image below was generated with the help of the Colorfilter link below.

Protanomaly (anomalous red cones) |

Deutanomaly (anomalous green cones) |

Tritanomaly (anomalous blue cones) |
The images for the normal logo and the protan logo are almost 100% identical to me. The deutan image is close to the normal logo, however the Gs are darker in the deutan link (slightly more purple). The tritan image looks nothing like the normal image - it is washed out (except the o and e) and entirely in shades of red.
