Urgent : "DESIGN Ron's Campaign Sign" Contest

[ItsTime]

I like the 2nd one.

There is an official campaign?

I just saw this origami dollar pic that would be perfect:

I like how the thread title says "urgent."

I think it would be interesting to give Ron Paul a campaign sign that is totally different then what's been done in the past. I made this one:

 

[Romulus]

Oh boy - that's an inspiring phrase! /sarcasm.

Besides, there is a ton {of equity} built up in that brand / image. Why change it?

Matt is right.

 

[Dissident]

The current design is not presidential.

 

[Dave Aiello]

Apparently the mods are the only 3 people who voted that the design doesn't need to be changed? (I voted "no" by accident because I initially messed up the wording of the answers). I assume it's because they're purists. From a perspective of someone on the outside looking in, the sign is uninspiring and dated. period.

AND this is urgent because once Ron announces, you can be sure as hell the official campaign will begin having his signs prepared shortly thereafter.

In regard to Ron's sign having built "brand equity", did it matter that obama had no "brand equity" before 08? No. He had a great design, and it paid off.

Imagine Ron's '08 sign saying "Barack Obama" instead of Ron Paul. Would Barack have fared so well if that was the case? Compare that to the stylized "O", modern font, and vibrant colors that Barack did have. Even McCain had a sharp looking design.

I'm not some nobody speaking on this topic. I've been doing corporate branding professionally for years.

I accidentally clicked yes instead of no.

Try not to make too many assumptions. Differing opinions are ok. No one closed your thread, some anonymous person voted no.

lol!

The standard blue one is fine, but if you guys can make a better one, go for it.

Ron Paul : America's Anchor In Troubled Waters

Then you should understand what brand equity means.

 

[Bobster]

I think there is credence to 'brand equity', but at the same time Ron's sign looks dated. I think changing the solid blue to a slightly gradient blue would help 'modernize' the sign just a bit while keeping the core look.

With an older candidate, it will definitely help us to have 'young' and 'modern' branding.

I like the "Not for Sale", the origami dollar, and end the system.
I think people are getting fed up with government and politics as usual, and they want someone really different. Only 30 something percent of people vote, RP should campaign towards the other 70% as well.
In my mind, RP's integrity and honesty, regardless of his positions, make him more qualified to be president than anyone else.

I'm gonna work on something tonight and toss it in here.

 

[Havax]

Someone can edit/roll with this idea, but I was trying to mock the Obama color theme.

That would scare the shit out of older voters.

Professional & modern....outstanding!

Agreed.
