URGENT Banner Poll (12 hours only)

about 16 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Hi everyone (and mods). Mods please bear with me and allow me to create this "vote" thread as I can't change the original banner thread to a poll.
 
Feel free to shift this thread (or let it die naturally) on MONDAY when I pretty much have to do all the work.
 
I have a little time to work on the letter stencilling tomorrow so ideally would like to know by lunchtime Sunday what you guys want on the banners. This will at least allow me to make a bit of a start before the painting on Monday.
 
Please vote for the best one or more banner ideas that you would like to see created into a banner for the game. Probably best to vote for no more than 4 but who am I to tell you what to do?
 
Also if you have any closet banner ideas (no matter what you think of them) then now is probably a good time to let them out.
 
Cheers!!

Is mentioning Bin Hamman an insta-ban at the stadium?

I don't think the come play one would really be understood by the general public...

Just my opinion.

How did "Come Play 2011-2010" suddenly go from 0 to 14 votes? lol

And while it might not be understood by the general public, it is on the advertising billboards (I'm sure I saw them on TV at the game last week?)

Just a note, if your going to do the come play one, just remember to write 2011- 2020

I kinda like Come Play 2011-2020 but didn't want to influence the voting.

I'm thinking that if this gets broadcast then surely the Aussie fans will understand it.

Or maybe they'll think I just got the years wrong?

Oh GOD. I just checked out the Come Play font and it's going to take some work....



P.S. No way I'm doing the Kangaroo.

people will think 'we want ten' to mean phoenix win 10-0.

in fact ive just asked two people with general football knowledge and they both thought it was in reference to a score, not an a-league licence.

10 more years - very easy for every A-League follower to understand and rally behind. We want 10 ...  and   come play....      are both far less clear in their meaning.
 
P.S. Anything with Bin Hammam not a good idea - we have enough of an up hill battle with him now without personally insulting him in front of 35k fans and a TV audience.

Was my concern from the start, but then again it's short so doesn't require too much work for me. Might do that one for you guys

AJ13 your thoughts on Come Play 2011-2020?

I'm liking the reasoned and logical approach to the posts in this thread. Keep it up guys.

Regards the 10 years - has there been a NZ team in the A-League for 10 years yet?

How is this a problem? I thought it was clearly stated in the OP that I'm making up to 3 banners?

In fact I just did a curtain fabric stocktake and I could possibly even squeeze in a fourth.

This isn't about which is the "best", it's about choosing which ones to make.

Never occurred to me but someone just made a very worthy suggestion:

10 MORE YEARS
[same again in Arabic]

Thoughts?? If Arabic is to be used then I have to get onto it PRONTO as I'll require the services of a translator.ahmad2010-02-28 00:03:17

FFA have been using our shirts and ground to advertise their World Cup campaign, I think the Come Play slogan is an excellent way to get a message back to them.

All hail Horus wuold also be a very good banner, he, DPK22 and others have entertained me through two long days at work (and strangely, the german student I am working with also got addicted and is coming along too! Hurrah!!)

I need some help here please people.

I can't find the "Come Play" logo/font in a decent enough size to print it out enlarged for a banner.

Could someone with the skills to do this possibly help me by creating a large image of "Come Play" with the necessary detail to print it out big and create stencils for spray paint?

The font is quite a "thin" font so if you were able to fatten it up a bit so that I comes over on TV that would be great as well.

Please let me know if you can possibly help asap. Cheers!

As an amateur stencillist, have you considered getting a picture of the come play, seperating the letters onto seperate pages of Word or something (they aren't exactly detailed, so a simple enlarge won't do too much damage to quality, as long as you retain the right aspect ratio), then photocopying each one up to A3 size, then tracing them over to some card, which can then be aligned onto your banner/curtains?

I've never tried anything this big so I'm not really to sure, although this is probably how i would do it.

That's pretty much what I did last time for Bahrain's Pain. That's what I'll end up doing but I was afraid of the loss of resolution. Will see what I can come up with. In the mean time feel free to link any massive (press?) images of Come Play for me to download.

P.S. Still need thoughts on whether to make "10 MORE YEARS" bilingual.
