Ron Paul Gum: about to go live and accept orders!

[GregVernon]

Hey guys, me again. I've been working really hard on getting a order page set up for Ron Paul Gum (yay for not sleeping!), I hope to have it good to go really soon (tomorrow night, I hope) to accept pre-orders for Ron Paul Gum.

Updated!
But first, I need your feedback on our current design:

Post feedback below and in the poll. Of course if you have an idea, post it!

If you do not like the design, please post why.

love the idea!!! How bout Constitution sticks???

 

[trey4sports]

nothing personal man, i love the enthusiasm but it looks very manilla and bland.

 

[nlke182]

Hopefully this is successful. If it is then I will start my Ron Paul Band-Aid business.

 

[Antonius Stone]

I like it because it seems very counter-culture esque

Ok, I'll let our graphic designer know that.

Ha ha, that would be awesome. I think we have 2 different target markets though, the Ron Paul Gum is meant as a handout for meetup groups when canvasing. It seems like Ron Paul Band-aids would not be as effective in that area.

Working on it, plus a few other things

Thanks, thats why me and the other project leads liked the design! I will let Lee (our graphic designer) know you liked it.

Awesome!

Like DirtMcGirt's line get it done and let's do a pass out gum day!!!

 

[TwiLeXia]

haha yes!! i am so buying some and giving them out to ppl

 

[cicatrice]

Personally, I love the design. It's bold and eye-catching. It's straightforward like the doctor himself.

 

[Ron LOL]

This is a huge opportunity, so I'm going to go ahead and say (lovingly) that this design is terrible.

The gum idea is such a great way to get his record out there. The paper wrapper on each stick should have "A Brief Overview of Congressman Paul's Record" on at least one side.

Edit: Oh, I see, this is the outer wrapper for the whole pack. Well, it still ought to have the brief overview on one side. And the palette is wrong IMO. You should stick to the 3-color palette used in the red-white-blue "President * 2008" posters.

i like the colors and the design a lot. the message.... i think could be something better.

 

[agasys]

I agree, the colors are Great!, very effective for the message. (The red/white/blue suggestion, by the way, sounds horrible. Red/white/blue Gum I would automatically associate with someone abusing the US colors for propoganda).

"Authority is not Truth. Truth is Authority" - sounds a little vague, to me...it could mean anything, and not everyone is going to give it the benefit of the doubt and bother looking up Ron Paul's web site...

 

[Abobo]

The colors make me think of Kill Bill....

 

[Ron LOL]

Just a quick mock-up:

Edit: hey, don't we need to leave space for nutritional information?

 

[Ron LOL]

Just another point, it's probably a bad idea to use the word "truth" in promotional material for RP...

 

[shasshas]

nice design ..

i would prefer if we could get his face onto the packaging though -- with a wink and a thunbs up sort of style. and a slogan saying "Believe in Ron Paul! Believe in yourself!"

That way it doesn' tmake an overly strong statement and Anyone can buy it and anyone we offer it towill accept it. That would be a much easier and faster way to spread the message. Then ship it out in pack of 100 (like wrigleys or chicklets) to milkbars all over America.

 

[Corydoras]

I agree that having Ron Paul's face on the package would be a good idea.

 

[damijin]

As a 20 year old male, the design appeals to me.

It reminds me of the video for "Tell The Truth", a mashup of Mos Def, Eminem and Immortal Technique.

Not sure if you were going for that
