Type: PC + Fender = Profit?
Location: <A Legend Is Born>
Middle image, right sidebar
Defining characteristics: Gordon appears to have become a rather good functional design diagram arist, and Logan learned how to draw a nice Fender. One must wonder who drew the lettering, because it sure as hell wasn't them!
Caption: "Not wanting to be outdone by a bunch of long hairs, we put our heads together and tried to come up with a PC-based cover that would rock as hard as Guitar World on the newsstand. They will rue the day they went head to head with the most kick-ass PC magazine on the planet!"

Middle image, right sidebar
Defining characteristics: Can be misinterpreted to make MPC newbies think that Gordan is Logan and vice versa for Logan. If you look closely, you can even see the difference in the white color where the image editor did not bother balacing the white background from the new text with the original white background of the board in the image. For shame.
Caption: "In a desperate bid to save their jobs, Logan and Gordon hit the Lab. While testing the side effects of knock-knock jokes, they stumble upon the Decker-Ung Unifying Theory of Humor, which lets them mathematically determine the funniest things in the universe..."

Defining characteristics: Biggest print ever, but right-half is cropped.
Caption: "Maximum PC has changed a lot during the past four years, but amid all the clamor, there's been one constant: Gordan Mah Ung. So why in the world does our senior editor sport so many different looks?"

Defining characteristics: Same exact image from previous, just smaller.
Caption: "As we've learned from years of experience, there's no problem that a little time at the drawing board can't solve. Gordon and Logan calculate a course of action."

Top image, right sidebar
Defining characteristics: Featured Gordon in a look VERY dated,
compared to his look of that era, which was the nail-polish era.
Caption: "Our objective? To create a being in our own likeness."
