I have a favour to ask...


My sister works for Brook, a charity that offers free confidential sexual health advice and services to young people, it's a cause she's passionate about and they do great work.


The charity is currently updating it's image a bit and part of that is redesigning the logo, which is where you all come in. If you go to the Brook website (I've only just learnt how to do the thing where you make the link into words BTW, I'm very proud) you'll see a purple blob asking you to vote. Click on the blob and you can look at the shortlist of designs and vote for your favourite.


It might seem like a really small thing, but branding (as I believe it's called) can be really important in how the charity is perceived and how identifiable and memorable it is.


If this forum is anything it's opinionated, so go on, take a few minutes and express an opinion, it'll really help*.


Thanks!


*If any of you have piles of spare cash lying around that would also help tons.....;-)

Good for your sis Annaj. It's the sort of resource that sometimes gets either forgoten about or portrayed as overly 'liberal' and encouraging all sorts of carrrying on amongst the young 'uns. I am aware of several young people who have benefited hugely from the help offered.

Not parents, not social care just objective and informed advice.

Good people.

Annaj it's not a small thing! It shouldn't be that difficult!


As a primary colour red is associated with danger, so NO!


2 and 4 are both too clinical to appeal to young people.


5 is too busy.


3 is the default.


Are you asking people for the veneer of democratic respectability? It really shouldn't have reached this far!


I think it's a brilliant contribution, and your sister is the bee's knees.

Thank you HonoloochieB and Huguenot (love the middle of the night posting btw makes forum life much more interesting for the shift working forumite).

I think she's the bee's knees too!


I don't think it's really about respectibility, more about appealing to their target group, the old logo is a bit dated.

Sadly, most of us are well out of their target age group, but varied opinions are still relevant.


Thanks everyone who's looked. I hope you're all voting as well.

Had some feedback from my sister about this today she said the comments on here were really interesting.

In case you're interested at the last count design No.2 was the favourite with No.5 and No.4 close behind. Huguenot's default choice No.3 is in last place.

They are also aware of the potential "stop" or "danger" associations with red, but are trying it with people anyway, because it's done pretty well as the colour of prominent AIDs charities.

Finally, although most of us are not the age group that Brook helps, we are in the age bracket of most of their supporters. So, our opinions are important since the image has to appeal to those who might fund, as well as those who might use, the service.


Thanks again everyone who's commented and voted. Keep it up!

Pongo, I sometimes post when pissed. I attempt to be relevant but don't always achieve it.

In this instance you haven't, you dopey bastard.

Steady on Huguenot, I voted for number 5 (in more ways than one I suppose).


Pongo, I'm really not sure what your point is.

I realise it's a bit cheeky to post on here asking people to take part in this survey, but it's not like I don't use the forum regularly and it doesn't really do any harm and might just help out a great charity.

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
