I like what we was originally promised on both sides. Don't want to bait and switch.

What? Then what were their reasons? Did they poll people on the street?
It needs "President" and I propose "Freedom" somehow.
Freedom * Prosperity * Peace sounds like a great idea. Awesome in fact.
But Instead of RonPaul2008.com, I think Ron Paul for President would be a much better use of space not just because it is more confident and would prevent people from not even knowing who it is (that would really suck), but also because the vast majority of people almost never use the address bar and instead always search for stuff--this is well studied: people even search for google and yahoo and amazon, etc. almost invariably, instead of just typing in google.com. And people (a) could easily forget the exact URL and (b) are typically bad at entering URLs correctly anyway--besides the fact most people search, like I said. And the first search result is his page (I think sometimes maybe it shows headlines from news sources, but I'm not sure)
(I bet most of you have a hard time believing that, but that is because I think most of us are kind of internet savvy and would laugh at that--but we're in the minority for sure.)

Who is Ron Paul is PERFECT! Please read what I have to say closely... not cause I'm awesome, but because I'm an advertiser.
Who is Ron Paul is a question which DEMANDS an answer. Ron Paul on a blimp, and you don't know who he is... oh, what to do, what to do.
I know, GOOGLE RON PAUL!
Totally smack perfect.
No one's gonna vote for a man cause he has a blimp. However, our CALL TO ACTION by saying GOOGLE RON PAUL comes after we ENGAGE the viewer by asking WHO IS RON PAUL.
Ok, you needn't read so close cause I'm not being very articulate... it's saturday. shoot me.
Ok, got it... remember back in the day when the X-Files was getting ready to air for the first time. No one had any idea what the show was about (no Internet yet! haha) but there was BUZZZ because they promo-ed all summer with a glowing mysterious X. Said nothing, just the X.
The show was a cult hit, kinda like Paul.
Who is Ron Paul? GOOGLE RON PAUL.
It's like the X.
Besides, it's a blimp... there are no campaign marketing rules that I know of, which go along with a damned blimp. This is uncharted ground... I will note that I've never seen a Goodyear blimp actualy ask me to buy tires. (they're brand recognition is higher than ours, however so we need our call to action, which we have.)

I have the same questions. And what backgrounds are we talking about. I have the feeling it's all experience from marketing commercial products. And Ron Paul is not a product and shouldn't be marketed as such.
Not true, he's an ice cold glass of Presidential Candidate, complete with logos and slogans and customers(support) and a message and employees and customer service.... total brand concept.
Don't think of a product like Pepsi Cola as Pepsi Co. Pepsi is one PRODUCT in the Pepsi BRAND.
The blimp is one AD in the Ron Paul CAMPIAGN.

Ron Paul - POTUS
that way people go, "what's a potus?"

try
RON PAUL
PRESIDENT
I think it is essential the word president be on there.
There is no space for his positions etc... this is not a conversion tool, it is a name recognition tool.
google Ron Paul is not that great at all.
this blimp is not going to help us win early primaries... we have to win a coupel of those... then this blimp will help us win Super Tuesday.

The blimp will be a hit with any of these names.
I live in South Carolina where "Google Ron Paul " among the older white Republicans I know would probably have less appeal than other areas of the country.
I prefer Ron Paul for President.
But whatever it is - it is ten times more brilliant than any other campaign and we need to support it financially and enthusiastically. I am going to send in more than my pledge so it can continue for two months or more .

At this point I believe we should use the current artwork. The goal here is to get the blimp in the air and promote Ron Paul name recognition and I believe we are quickly approaching the deadline.
The fact is that not everyone is going to be satisfied no matter what message is put on the blimp. This project was put together quickly and I think the blimp team has done an excellent job with what they have had to work with.
I do however believe that we should consider alternative artwork for future months. A few of the slogans that I like are:
Ron Paul - Operation American Freedom
Ron Paul - Peace Prosperity and Liberty
Just my 2 cents.

My thoughts on the subject: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showpost.php?p=506995&postcount=8
We here are biased. We are into this race; we're excited about it!
But there are millions who could CARE LESS - especially at this point in the game. The goal is to get them to look up Ron Paul and come to the realizations we have.
If you put President on there, I would guess you'd lose at least HALF of the people who would look him up. Most people simply DO NOT CARE about politics. Stop trying to see it from your point of view and picture the people out on the streets shopping or working in their cubicle. If they think it's related to politics - are they going to dig deeper? HELL NO.

"Ron Paul for President 2008"
Not everybody has internet access to Google Ron Paul. So how are they supposed to know who he is?

The Big Picture?
Although I would prefer something else, I think whatever is on the blimp is a moot point: The media is going to eat this up no matter what it says.
The thing about people is that we want free rides on blimps.
Reporters will be begging to cover the story about how "A group of grass roots supporters totally independent of the Ron Paul campaign procured a blimp to help out their candidate" a.k.a. "I want a free blimp ride." Sort of quid pro quo: We give you a ride on the blimp, you do a story about the blimp.
It's an advertising strategy revolving around the blimp, but the blimp itself is immaterial insofar as it exists and has "Ron Paul" on it. The media's reaction to the blimp and hopefully the realization of the how serious Dr. Paul's supports are is really what matters.
That's the way I see it anyways.

I like the blimp the way it is -- maybe blimp 2.0 would need something more what we might relate too... But, then again, what is the point of that? If you go to the web site they explain how they arrived at the current graphics. It was not as if it was not given any thought.

Clean, simple and as big as possible. You don't see Geico's 800 number on the side of their blimp. Or Goodyear's website.
