I totally go for that I want to see those logos on eRepublik nowwwww I agree that putting some funny / tongue-in-cheek ads out there soon would be good. But I would like a logo decided first. Is there anything good about those last ones? A complete change is better? Even some feedback on colors etc would be appreciated.

Angrr::
I really like the Funny Ad's and I do wanna start putting some of those forward. I should probably start on a UCP "recruitment" video that could be funny and used to bring people around:D
As for the logo design and colours...
I do agree we need something that looks more modern and appealing on the actual Erep Page. which is 50x50 and then surrounded by a gray border. I personally like a Red/white/Blue colour scheme and something with a strong font face. I like having the comical campaign ad, but i'm still debating how well received a party that is viewed as less serious will be.
I am still thinking of how we were viewed as the GameFAQs Party, it was said several times that running under Gfaqs and not a "legitimate party" hurt my chances, and that was the reason our numbers were hurting. Its just hard for me to guage the actions of the us Pop.

I don't think that we are any less serious, but don't see the harm in using some humor to brighten up things.
Personally, If I saw an ad like that, I'd laugh, possibly read more into the policies etc. It wouldn't make me join, but would raise the profile of the party for me and I'd look into it further. I certainly wouldn't think badly of a party for it.
There is also the casual gamer who is drawn here and not really into politics that much - a funny ad would win their vote, I think.
As the party President, all of this goes through you. If you don't like it, it is not used. If you are uncomfortable, it is not used. This is an open discussion and nothing is being put forward as "The way to do it".
Please do not be afraid to tell me your actual opinion on any work I do. I respect honesty more than flattery.

Angrr;;
Well i stand by what I said before, but I think we are more or less on the same page with this. You know I like to be laid back. I remember it was even one of your interview questions for me. Sometimes i'm hard to take seriously because I like to throw humor or "lol" to the end of every line. I actually love the idea of a comical ad drive to get more members, and I like to appeal to those casual gamers and still prove to everyone that we are serious about our politics.
Honestly we are in no huge hurry and I like to keep an 'open forum' ideology to our the party runs. I see myself as no king and feel we should all discus matters to a great degree. I'll always give you my honest opinion.
Now remember these are just my opinions and reflect nothing on quality, if that was the case they are look amazing. i'm just looking from a creative//party perception angle
Ads and forum Banner A++
Eagle UCP Logo C- .. Not really my favorite, the eagle was too busy for me but i liked the lettering
The "new-comic-ish ucp logo" C- .. Again good quality, but i'm unsure of how it would mesh with the erepublik page, and although i like the laid back idea I'm not sure if our logo should directly effect that
Thx again angrr

OK. thats what I want! feedback!
The banner I think is OK but needs the eventual UCP logo in place - whether that be new or the one we are currently using.
The Ad, I like - not because I made it, but because I think it is funny and could work. Same goes for the logo in the corner.
The logo designs - I am not particularly fond of either. The colors are better on the second, and the first is indeed too busy. What do you recommend me trying? simple but not too cartoony? Anything else?
White background? Red? anything is OK?
I tried various fonts etc for the logo, but just UCP in text - you have no idea how communist-soviet-style that can look!
I will throw up a few more ideas just for the sake of feedback.
One question - do you think an american flag in some form is a good idea in the logo?

Maybe not having the actual flag but at least having red white and blue in the logo should be enough imo.

I think the ingame logo should be something simple that stands out, but also represents our party in the best way possible. I know that may sound to be more on the philisophical side to try to represent a party though 3 colors and 3 letters but i feel its possible. I would like to concentrate on White(possibly a white BG) with red and Blue as accenting marks to allow the picture to pop.
Lol I know there are probably 1000 ways to make UCP seem commie friendly lol. Desert Falcon thought we were the United Communist Party for awhile >_>

whoaaa@! those are crazy cool. I really like the middle one a lot, idk how it will look 50x50, but I do like it. The top is cool, but wtf is in the background ahah reminds me of these things from C&C3. The bottom one reminds me of the pentagon, but is still pretty awesome my fav is in the middle, but of course they all are of an amazing quality.if i'm looking at it correctly the lettering is red faced with a black outline and a blue shadow? hrmm how would it look with a black face, blue outline and a red glow? j/w if u think it'll look bad or if i'm being a pain let me know ^_^

I think the red glow looks too pink. Maybe I will redo that part.
Personally, I preferred the red text, but don't dislike the black.
