Title: Bitcoin Flyers! Post by: Coinabul on October 20, 2011, 08:03:40 PM NEW! Buy a T-Shirt with the flyer on it: http://coinabul.com/index.php/support-bitcoin-with-coinabul.html Magnets, giant stickers and posters coming soon!
Hey, I have been working with a designer and we've created a flyer for the Bitcoin community to use for promotional activities. (Such as your local Occupy Wall Street demonstration.) Take a look! Small: http://coinabul.com/images/bitcoinflyersmall.jpg Large: http://coinabul.com/images/bitcoinflyer.jpg (http://coinabul.com/images/bitcoinflyer.jpg) This is hopefully the first of many flyers. I'd like to hear some feedback, what do you think the next flyer should include? Keep in mind that our goal is to provide a consumer-centric pitch. Coinabul (http://coinabul.com) is sponsoring these flyers. Coinabul is a Bitcoin-Gold exchange site allowing you to buy Gold with Bitcoin. If you have any questions or would like to pitch a promotional idea for the site to sponsor, please send me a message! Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers!

Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers! Post by: Portnoy on October 20, 2011, 09:04:07 PM The "privacy from governments & banks" bit will probably alienate a hundred times as many people as it would attract. I think it's the other way around. It will attract many more people than it will turn off. The people that need external agencies to hold their hand for them will come to it later when everyone else does and it doesn't look so scary for them anymore. Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers! Post by: mr chong on October 20, 2011, 09:20:56 PM Looks nice and clean, not too busy like some you see. Pretty much says it all.
Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers! Post by: Rassah on October 20, 2011, 09:25:58 PM Maybe something like "No hastle from dealing with governments and banks" but better worded? People likely care much more about not having to deal with days of waiting, transfer limits, and slew of other regulations, rather than keeping their transactions private.
Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers! Post by: Yankee (BitInstant) on October 20, 2011, 09:29:24 PM Can you set up a donation address to go into funding these flyers? I'd love to pitch in.
Also, who is your designer? Is he/she available for freelance work? -Charlie Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers! Post by: Littleshop on October 20, 2011, 09:29:54 PM Well done!
Are these open copyright so we can print them and hand them out? Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers!

Is he/she available for freelance work? -Charlie My designer's website is http://Crobbo.com I don't feel comfortable accepting donations for flyer production since it is a company commissioned work. However, I was told that you can buy some flyers at http://bitcoinprintshop.com. If you tell Deslok to send them to the NYC Occupy Wall Street movement he knows the address! Well done! Yes, print them out, hand them out, do whatever you want with them! All I ask is that the Coinabul logo stays on them.Are these open copyright so we can print them and hand them out?

The idea behind the next poster is that Bitcoin is much more empowering than a centralized currency. "Bitcoin puts the power of currency back into the hands of the people" or something along those lines. Any suggestions for that phrase? Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers!

Here's one if you want to print it out and put it on the reverse side of the flyer: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/img.php?s=8&d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bitcoin.org Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers! Post by: Erratic on October 20, 2011, 09:45:54 PM As I said in IRC Coinabul, very nice flyer design, looks very professional yet it suits the whole BitCoin scene. Great designer that you have found!
Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers! Post by: brandondayton on October 20, 2011, 09:49:47 PM Fantastic design work.
IMHO, drop the "from govt. and banks bit". Most people really don't give a shit about the currency manipulation by the fed. "Privacy" is pretty powerful by itself, and it's more complete representation of Bitcoin. I would dig a poster with the tagline: Free, Private, Secure Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers! Post by: brandondayton on October 20, 2011, 09:51:03 PM Maybe add "Easy" on there too.

"Bitcoin puts the power of currency back into the hands of the people" or something along those lines. Any suggestions for that phrase? Something like "Your own, private, portable Fort Knocks" maybe? Or just "Be your own bank," or "The convenience of your bank, right at home" Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers! Post by: Ricochet on October 20, 2011, 09:54:57 PM I'd be wary of saying that you can send the money for "free." While it's true that fee-less transactions will probably still go through today, after a while of waiting, this will most likely not always be the case.

Post by: Bitcoin Oz on October 21, 2011, 02:57:15 AM I suggested you could add some tear off strips on the bottom with a url on them and stick them to power poles and community noticeboards.
Even better some sticky tape with bitcoin logos on to attach them with :) Title: Re: Bitcoin Flyers!

I think if you do a poll "Do you trust the govt?" it would only be slightly lower than the results for "Do you trust the banks?". i trust the banks more because i have a specific written contract with them. maybe stupid. but i have no such contract with the gummit so it seems they can get away with far more abuse. |
