Feedback/suggestions/input needed for new Ron Paul 2012 yard signs/bumper stickers

We are needing some kicking artwork for grassroots' yard signs, bumper stickers, etc.

Check the Huckster's yard sign in the post below. THAT is a great example of a well thought out design with the colors just right.

Anyone wanting to do a rip-off of the Huckster's artwork feel free to show us. Your efforts will be memorialized.

The blue we will use will be more like the blue in the Huckster's sign.

Sorry, we need to leave these 1980s'ish designs behind. Do you think Obama would put out a sign that looks like this? Look at the campaigns signs or Justin Page Woods' designs.

Are you suggesting the Huckster's yard sign design appears "1980s'ish"?

We put out an invitation for new designs for yard signs for the grassroots effort. If you have something in line with the 'Justin Page Woods' minimalist approach, then kindly show us. Perhaps we can put it to use. Whomever comes up with the best design will be memorialized, like the Austin volunteer who came up with this artwork which was very widely used by grassroots volunteers for yard signs, bumper stickers, and tee shirts in support of Ross Perot in '92 -

Yes, but are suggesting yours looks anything like his

The artwork in the OP isn't mine and I'm not emotionally attached to it. I just want that which works. The Huckster's staff came up with what I think (and in the opinion of many others I've asked) a very well thought out yard sign with great visual impact and a 'just right' combination of colors (those in marketing get the color thing).

Naturally what we're trying to accomplish is: appealing, attractive, and eye-catching while getting a message across and presenting our candidate.

It is crucial that we 'get a message across' instead of merely presenting our candidate. Without the message (our message) our candidate is simply an 'also ran'. The artwork is merely a vehicle for grabbing attention and getting the message across. There's much more to our message (and the yard signs will reflect this accordingly) than 'Restore America Now', e.g. 'Peace. Liberty. Property Rights.' 'Stop endless wars' or some such - something which resonates.

And FWIW, the 'official campaign's' artwork as it stands now is uber lame. The colors are all wrong, as well as the rest of it. It is about as uninspiring as it could possibly be.

Surely someone in the grassroots can do better.

We need the same official sign as last time. You know the ones shipped with the black wild mustang on the box ? LOL

Justin Page Wood has done better.
