FAO stevebaby

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Be careful, less is more as they say. I would be wary of trying to cram too much on, and a wee bit of cryptic would be fitting - has to be a bit wtf.

A  landscape banner would let the FAO stevebaby be larger but I would much prefer a portrait banner. I intend to print a copy onto that T-shirt paper and make the T-shirt to wear at the Brisbane game. This would enable forumites who are otherwise total strangers to approach me with offers to buy me booze

Yer could be fucked there as most Queenslanders can barely read!

 

 

 

 

I say this in jest - half my family and a good few mates are based up there.

I would just have FAO stevebaby. Simple and stands out. A search on google brings this thread up. A web address would make it look like an advert. So would the logo from here.

Bingo. 

 

So, we're slowly reaching a consensus but here's what you've got so far: 

 

 

Haven't added the piss bag due to it making little or no difference to the impact. 

Font isn't the correct one but it's a close fit. 

Used standard bird to match TLW's. 

[Tony Moanero]

Bingo.

Green Jesus needs to be quite a bit bigger in in my opinion.

 

FAO STEVEBABY.

 

Massive Green Jesus

 

TLW logo (rather than a regular LFC liverbird) to the right.

I'll need to spend some time making the image vector. 

The problem we have using a photograph is when it reaches it's size limitations, it begins to pixelate. 

I'll work on the vector later today.

Good man.

[Fowlers God]

I agree with most that has been posted so far, would it be a good thing though for the club to be contacted regarding the green Jesus banner though. I can imagine if there are 1 or 2 complaints we may be asked to remove it.

Adam - I'll email you the originals later mate, only iphone standard but better red.

[Furmedge]

Yeah, I've got a feeling the club may have some issues with the Jesus if not checked with them first.  No idea why, but football/religion etc yadda yadda yadda.

[Fowlers God]

Just wouldn't want to see it done and paid for but for some one to complain about Jesus

[Oh Buoy]

Thanks pal.

Champ - do you want to do this? 

 

It might be worth getting a little team together to achieve the following: 

 

- Contacting the club and seeing if there's anything implications / gestures or additional bonuses they could offer — a donation to the hospice or cancer research perhaps? I feel you'll need someone who is a little pushy and not someone whom just accepts "no." 

 

- Contacting the hospice and see if they're all good with us using the image on the flag/banner. 

 

- Some to find a banner printer, or a football flag printer — you'll need appropriate sizes as sadly, "big as fuck" doesn't go down too well when you're lumped with a bill in the thousands. You'll need a few quotes and if you're looking for a good deal, throw in the cause and see if you can get a good deal out of them. Most are willing to lower their prices, it's just a matter of what's reasonable. 

 

- Are we having a link? If so, who is buying this? I can set it all up for you.

[Dr Nowt]

My vote would be no web link, think it will be cluttered and AF nailed it above re maybe looking like an advert.

[Oh Buoy]

There's always a Plan B:

For me you've cracked it with this idea, lose the url, and maybe the liverbird also. Big clear message, fao Stevebaby, the green fella in as high a res as you can, ynwa, tlw icon in one corner.

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Bingo.

You know yer fucked when you have a digital stutter.

Hahahaha! I actually really like that!

 

[cracko]

I think FAO stevebaby needs to be in the correct upper and lower case as in the thread.

Also no url.

[Oh Buoy]

I think you all need to discuss the point of this banner. 

 

Let's walk through the current idea: 

 

*Fan sees green Jesus*

 

"What..?" 

 

*Fan see's 'FAO Stevebaby'* 

 

"What the heck is Stevebaby?" 

 

*Fan googles FAO Stevebaby* 

 

*Google returns this thread* 

 

*Fan clicks first link and lands on first page of thread and sees Champs post —*

 

Steve,

We've had a little collection on your behalf, in recognition of your contribution to the life of the forum and our admiration for the way you have shared your experience of this bastard of a disease on the Cancer thread. There cant be many who have not been humbled by your wicked sense of humour and the way you have continued to make the most of every opportunity to enjoy life to the full all along the way (you know what I'm talking about here)

Right, enough about you. Arthur Friedenreich reckons he's just a short distance away from you and would like to call in and give you our gift on behalf of us all, if thats ok with you. Would you PM him to let him what you think. You can assume we wont take no for an answer. There are many on here expecting pictures of those fit nurses of whom you speak so highly.

With love from us all x 

 

Is that what the end game is? 

 

Or are you going for another level with this?

[Anubis]

Love the design Buoy knocked up. Aside from keeping Green Jesus green the only suggestion I'd have is maybe replacing TLW with the TLW logo at the top of the website.

 

EDIT: Sorry, it was about the original design, but hadn't seen the latest. Fine with either.

[Champ]

In my head, Buoy, it's mostly about taking Steve with us to as many places around the world where forumites live and travel supporting our great club. Anything else is an additional bonus really.

 

How do others see it?

[Dr Nowt]

Same as that, Cath.  Don't think you can really try to be prescriptive about such things.

This is how I see it.

 

It's not aboot trying to reach more people, more aboot the way Gandy connected all of us.
