People are immune to "Support the Troops". Any emotional response to that has played itself out by it's overuse this past decade. It won't grab their attention as they have heard it a million times already and will automatically associate it with it's past use. Bring them Home ftw. Logo's/ribbons and such should be mainly in a particular blue...blue is psychologically associated with peace (that's why the U.N uses it deceptively).

Here is a spin-off of the Yellow Ribbon suited for this moneybomb if the naming were "Bring Them Home".

Most people will see the yellow ribbon but won't read it. They will assume "Support our Troops" and since it has been so overused it will provoke no emotional response. The yellow ribbon has already been branded and this is no time to attempt to "co-opt" it. THAT takes more time than we have for the 11/11 moneybomb. Besides yellow is psychologically associated with cowardice. Light blue's are psychologically associated with "peace". Want a ribbon then I suggest a light blue one.

My suggestion is web 2.0 it. Bevel it, glassify it, or give it a fading digital effect. Don't put that text on it with that font. Either put the domain in its place, or don't put any text in the ribbon itself and put it on the outside. Use a web 2.0 font.

The reason I suggest this is that we need a unique logo, that text isn't easy to read, and it is an online campaign so we must keep it modern. :)
 
I think this poll was a great idea because we needed to narrow down a name, but I was hoping that we could limit most dscussion of this moneybomb (eg logistics, etc.) To the thread I made two days ago to help consolidate all of the ideas and such into one common location rather than several threads throughout the site.

Also, I am no developer but like I said I have no problem helping out with certain logistical things like keeping track of wh is doing what. I mean I did help think of the name, I feel obliged to help.

So the Don't Tread On Me flag represents cowardice? Your idea of what colors represent is way too narrow.

We don't live in the 18th century and most people today wouldn't recognize the Gadsen Flag. This is 2011 and yellow is the color used to signal "caution" and in slang used to call people cowards.

Examples:

Traffic lights: slow down...proceed with caution
Yield signs: slow down proceed with caution
Yellow/red: Danger/caution such as the radioactive signs
"Yellow belly": coward
"He's yellow": coward

plus......

In marketing, yellow stands for ‘low priced’; as you might have noticed, this color is used by Subway, McDonald’s, Cheerios. Yellow is usually seen as light-hearted, unstable, and a little childish. While this color works well for promoting children’s products, yellow is unsuitable for promoting high-end items targeted at the upper echelons of society. Few people will buy a yellow purse or briefcase.

We need to come to a consensus and make a decision TODAY!!! Time is of the essence. In addition, all future Money Bombs should be 48 Hours in length. BTO proved that beyond question. Donation amounts and the time needed in a Money Bomb to meet a specified goal are so far different than 2007, you really cannot even compare the two campaign time periods.

The reason is pretty obvious, the Depression our World is now in and is getting worse by every single day!!! RP Grassroot Supporters simply cannot make the large donations that were made in 2007.....

Whatever our decision will be let's make it!!! and move forward........
 
We have a concensus, just no domain. If someone wants bringthemhome2012.com, they are welcome to use it. Two people expressed concern over having 2012 in the domain, so I'd scrapped the idea.

Otherwise, still waiting on a response from the guy who owns the bth domain. He hasn't responded to my offer yet, and as far as I know, he hasn't replied to chainspell at all.
 
We can get started with bringthemhome2012.com and then switch if we get the other, can't we? As long as we hold off with print stuff, although we can redirect.
 
Ya'll are jumping the gun. There needs to be further discussion before any one member just rolls with a domain over everybody else that has concerns.

The moneybomb ended yesterday. We must take the time to make sure our base is solid. Yes, time is of the essence.

Gage has put in a lot of time and work on moneybombs.

Dusman has put in a lot of time and work on moneybombs.

We've ALL put in a lot of time and work on them. I'm not selling anyone short.

I should be talking with Dusman by phone shortly. Gage and I have talked some. We will talk further. I'm going to do this before I promote any banners on RPF.
