10. this is a 'base" design

ya see, it has to work in B&W (fax, letterhead, business cards) before you can add the color.

15. here's a ***sketch*** for a color version


obviously, the text needs to be sharper. I will probably pull the "Jeff" up a bit to overlap in the red and better match the original logo.

25. LOL!
thanks. i take it you agree with the addition of "U.S." so I can fix that in the base logo.

i'll work on a cleaned up and sharper version now.

29. thanks!

i don't do 'flash' for this kind of project (theatre/cabaret is different!)

i'm trying to give Jeff a 'look' and core message that matches his words.

of course red white & blue was essential. he's campaigning on a 'citizen patriot' baseline. which is exactly RIGHT (correct) for the House. it was designed to be the 'people's house'

yeah, i think he's doing a 'vision thing'

but, i don't believe things change without a vision for change.

8. Most such stickers say "For Congress"
wouldn't want the swing voters to think you were running for state rep, now would we?

Go Jeff Go! Any movement on that thing where Regula pushed through some bill he didn't even like, just to suck up to the House leadership?

17. AWD may have more too add but
my understanding was they didn't want the partisan message this early in the campaign.

my original text was: A Democratic VISION For Ohio

but it was decided to go with "Progressive"

(are there any progressive republicans?)

27. My party affiliation.....
...will be abundantly clear. For the logo, I'm told to leave it out.

Half the population will tune it out when they see I don't belong to their party. Name recognition is more important right now.

19. So "Seemann For America" was just a little too cocksure?
Edited on Thu Nov-13-03 03:50 PM by SpikeTrees
Can't have you muscling in on the prime national candidate.
Seriously, it is a snazzy design. Maybe add "Congress" to it.

21. see my post #15 for an updated concept
and, I agree that "representative" better reflects Jeff's core campaign message.

check out the text on the homepage.
