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.

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse
