So these posters have been over in development for a bit i'm not going to move the thread in case anyone has created a link to it but with the other advertising developments being here i'm guessing i put it in the wrong category
this is a link to the thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43664.0
And this is the currently avilable(and editable) poster, information on pricing is in the other thread and they are avilable in both 8.5x11 and 11x17 since today is saturday and my local PO closes at noon odds are any orders will ship out monday

By default regular copy/print paper these are destined for boards at colleges mostly indoors however i can get other types if you're looking for something else.

Since you didn't bother to include any explination i'll assume this was your focal point
"6.  don't say anything about "cryptocurrency" or "cryptography".  this makes it sound like bitcoin is trying to hide something along the likes of Silk Road and other illegal activities."
The current posters have been printed and sent to a few colleges like RIT which are technical schools where crypotography is "cool" however that can be reworded to avoid that for other less technical places and probably should for the general public, if you have an alternate wording you'd like to see there please feel free to suggest it

Putting "what the fuck" or other profanity on a poster is not going to portray bitcoins in a positive light.

That has been removed already as per a comment in the orignal thread
Edit: the orginal post has been updated to reflect this change

I don't care about bitcoin because it is free floating falling against fiat currency. I care because it is digital cash! You can go on for hours about why cash is good and needs to be removed from governments and banks, but people will get it in only one word, cash. In fact, I've stopped calling it digital crypto-currency, which to most ears is either gibberish, credit card, or debit transactions over SSL. Bitcoins are cash.

"Bitcoin digital cryptographic currency" isn't a very appealing title to catch someones attention. At all.

What do you propose in it's place?

beyond cash

Sounds a little grandiose but if you wanted an order i'd be more than happy to print yours that way

I think the idea is good, the poster is clean and elegant, but I'm not interested in paper. I think the points miss the full spectrum and are wordy at that. For example "Why should I care?" would not be relevant to most people, otherwise they'd own gold. In fact, it might be a counter argument. What? Not backed by the government? Oh my! In my own experience, it's the liquidity of bitcoins that are wonderful. And honestly, one either gets and uses it or not.

I unfortunatly don't think a singe design will be able to hit all of the target audiances, not backed by goverment appeals to younger more idealistc individuals and sounds like utter rubbish to others, i suppose if i had a few variants (say 5) ten of each could go out with each order but that seems like too wide of a net to cast all at once
