I will pay $50 USD via BTC for the best sign idea to be displayed at Super Bowl XLVIII. The goal is to have it captured on National TV with a viewership of over 100M people. As expressed in a post in a thread (linked above), guerilla marketing is our best option this year to have Bitcoin seen at the Super Bowl without having to pay $4M for a 30 second slot.

You don't have to submit an image to win the bounty but, at we are all aware, a flashy image sometimes carries more weight.

I've always been fair with ALL my past bounty request.

Reserved

I am too reserving a space while I get my thinking cap on

Thanks, bud. I'm leaning toward the 49ers getting in, thus better to make a Bitcoin gold connection, if you know what I mean, especially since there's also gold in them Denver hills.

BITCOIN WILL BE SEEN AT SUPER BOWL XLVIII!!!

What are the dimensions or restrictions on the signs?

I just asked that question in the other thread, hoping that somebody will offer up an answer.

Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks.

Looking forward to seeing/reading the first sign idea.

I'm not seeing it: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22store.richardsherman25.com%22+bitcoin&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS549US549&oq=%22store.richardsherman25.com%22+bitcoin&aqs=chrome..69i57.7008j0j4&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8#q=site:store.richardsherman25.com+bitcoin

But I did find Richard Sherman and Snoop Dogg playing football: http://www.nfl.com/videos/seattle-seahawks/0ap2000000212799/Snoop-Dogg-and-Richard-Sherman-one-on-one

"Don't be like the 49ers (bitcoin logo)"
"FOX: Fiat On eXchange (bitcoin logo)"
"NFL: No Fiat Laws (bitcoin logo)"

Maybe if banners are a problem we can get some form of Bitcoin clothing in shot, that could be distributed throughout the stadium.

Donning Bitcoin related wearing apparel did come to mind, but selling (though you said distributed) anything on site may be outta the question.

Now, wearing a Richard Sherman shirt and holding up a sign that relates with Bitcoin incorporated directed toward the Broncos, could be an option.

Take a look at his store for inspiration: http://store.richardsherman25.com/

Very nice effort but somehow missing the mark. But, your post somehow inspired me to envision a sign depicting a fox, a seahawk, and a bronco (horse). Animal Bowl I even comes to mind, with a smaller QR-Code/Bitcoin logo incorporated.

Also, remember that a sign has two sides. We would be remiss if we kept the backside of the sign blank. Something to seriously think about.

My brother brought something to my attention about the matchup, hence seeking an image via Google.

How about...

I bought my Seahawk shirt off Overstock via

<insert QR-Code/Bitcoin logo here>

Tell them Richard Sherman sent you.

Can anybody do a mock-up of the above for $10 USD via BTC?

(the idea is that an actual Seahawks shirt purchased off Overstock is donned by sign holder)

Haha, I like the idea behind this design. Definitely need the Bitcoin logo in these designs that people are suggesting, unless there is a really innovative suggestion.

Very, very interesting, but the logo in orange, I believe. Wave it like a mothefucker each time Richard Sherman busts up a play.

For sake of argument, if several of these were in the stands, where would the QR-Code link to? Overstock.com Seahawk gear comes to mind. If such were the case, Overstock would most definitely allocate resources to perpetuate the airing. Granted, nobody involved in this endeavor would see a satoshi, but our reason for doing such is to bring further awareness to Bitcoin, coupled with seeing if we can pull off getting Bitcoin exposure during a Super Bowl game via guerrilla marketing. That'll be the ultimate play!

What would it look like, and would it work, if the number 25 is superimposed into this QR-Code?

Somebody scan this to see if goes where I want it go first.

Also, something like this could work with an image depicting Richard Sherman's (read further below to see which one) in the middle with the text "You Mad Bro?" underneath. <just thinking out loud to get your creative juices a flowin'>

Crop the following image square and place it in the three obvious locations in the QR-Code.

And the predominate colors are blue, green and gray, and the QR-Code must look like it's bleeding, taken from the following as inspiration.

EDIT: Just realized that I left out the Bitcoin logo, but got that covered now. Use the image below for the pic in the center of the QR-Code, and place an orange Bitcon logo in the face part of the helmet.

Looks like we're on the right track:

Seahawks' Richard Sherman, love him or hate him, is already the face of Super Bowl XLVIII (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/lupica-don-sherman-act-deal-article-1.1585376)

We don't have much time with less than two weeks till kickoff to pull this off. Where are we at and is there anymore input?

So far, my latest suggests were inspired by users uvwvj and weejie, of which I could split the bounty, then commission some graphics designer to mash together what I've envisioned to date.

Notwithstanding, there still's another side to this banner that SHOULD be utilized.

How much does it cost to get up there?

I think I'll end the bounty here, paying half to the two bitcoiners I mentioned above since time is short and more work/bounty opportunities will be needed to complete this endeavor.

uvwvj, please submit to me via PM (or publicly) your Bitcoin wallet address so that I can remit to you $25 USD via BTC (same for weejie, of which I will PM). Also, I could easily suggest to you what charities to consider by pointing to my sig, but rather just give you the money with you deciding what to do with it with no pressure from me.

Thanks, bud.

PS: Pay no attention to the following, for I'm only testing to see if a certain keyboard key is still sticking.  ;D

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Keyboard key test, Part II.  ;D

I simply love cracking myself up.

~TMIBTCITW

One $25 USD bounty paid out to uvwvj. Just remembered that I need to pen a quick PM to weejie so that I can pay him as well.

Still seeking a graphic artist on the other thread. Think I'll head on over to Off-topic and start a satirical thread point toward it.

~TMIBTCITW^TM

Thanks all  ;D

You're welcome, bud. All bounties have been paid to date.

Just wanted to show off the end results inspired by this thread. Thanks again, all.
