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 also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
