Idea for Recruitment

[Aracher]

I will cos I'll be going to euro gamer anyway

[JazzyC]

Well, apparently 1000 business cards will cost me £22.97.  I've kept it simple with design.

While obviously not apparent, the FA logo will be printed over with foil.  

What do people think?  Obviously not much can change.  Should the text be a different font/size and should that too be foil?  Is the simple correct, or so we want it surrounded by a circle?

Again, once I get some time to think a plan through for the QR code, that will alter it now.  But, in fact, you should be able to scan that code and show it points you to the current challenge.

That's the wrong angel logo. That's our old MxO one.

[JazzyC]

That's all you have in terms of good quality FA logos.

Still, old logo or not, it gives you an idea of how it will look.

My uncle works in print, so if there is something that I can ask him for, just say. Haven't brought this up so far because it didn't seem like numbers were in mind yet.

[JazzyC]

Ok.  Haven't looked at this in a while.  

Got the QR code done.  Scan it and see...


I went with something simple, and in keeping with our theme.  Took inspiration from our recruitment thread bumps.

Feedback appreciated.

Still have no good quality image for the current FA signal.  Once I have one I can do another mock up of the buisness card and get that done.  I've tried using the image from both my sig and the banner at the top of the website.  Both are too small to stretch effectively.

If someone can send me a larger version I can get this done and dusted by the end of the week.

I wont be able to make it... was hoping to originally.
One of my boys birthday is on the 21st Sep and my wife decided to have the party on the saturday (instead of during the week before the event). My bday is on the 26th Sep so it was gonna be my present to myself, but can't get away now   The boy comes first!

If there is anything I can do in the mean time, let me know. Was attempting to get some "challenge" created for mobile (all web and VERY light image based) but been struggling with time). Can contribute funds of course to the merchandise. Need to know the paypal account to send to. Make sure you post all the details for those who will be chipping in.

Hi Kaplin,

Check out this image to see it will work for you.

[JazzyC]

Muchas gracias.

With that, I have this buisness card.  
Front

Back

As with the previous iteration, the symbol will be foil printed.

Currently the prices on vistaprint sit at:
250 - £10.49
500 - £20.74
1000 - £20.74 (sic)
1500 - £34.79
2000 - £37.99
2500 - £42.99
5000 - £53.99

Foil accent is an additional £7.49 and reverse side is £6.99.
My cart has 1000 cards priced up at £35.22

Given how VistaPrint always changes their offers though, this could change by the time I order.


I have no issue with handing these out at Eurogamer, nor with paying £35 to do so.  But, do you think we should hand some branded goods out alongside too?  Perhaps from our new clothing line?  Or pens/USB sticks/key rings?

Also, should anything else be done with the card itself?  Would everyone be happy to be associated with that card, and what message it sends out to the public?  Basically, would others be happy to hand these out too?

Just a thought.  With "are you an angel" won't people think it's a creative way to bring people to jeebus?

A few years back I was standing in line at the grocery store wearing an old "Follow the angel" shirt.  A woman standing behind me asked if I was christian and seemed to want to strike up a conversation.  I explained the context of the shirt, and that I wasn't religious.

I think the lack of any kind of traditional religious imagery on the business card will keep people from getting the wrong idea.  It doesn't look like traditional religious marketing.

Jazzy if you need cash ill sort you out with some I'll get on winds case about t-shirts as someone in his family has a printing business. Also I'll be willing to hand some things out and such.

There is probably going to be those few out there that will think that.  But then, there are probably a few out there who would just throw it away out of hand.  Just like when people toss away pamphlets given away on the street.

Hopefully though, the majority will turn the card over, see the QR code and at least be intrigued enough to scan it.

Like I said, I want to know if people want us to hand out some FA branded stuff along with the card.  I think it would be a good way to showcase some of the new store stuff, but we'll see what people say when it comes to parting with cash.

Although we could make more money if we started our own religion. Worked for L. Ron Hubbard :-p

[Maglorius]

If it is possible that religion might be tied to the statement "Are you an angel?" Then maybe it should be changed, suggestions below.

"Have you heard of the moons of Iego?"

"Did you hear the signal?"

Could also put above the logo "The Old Republic" that way everyone knows it is game related.

I actually like the statement "Are you an angel?" My only concern is that, if you are a true fan of Star Wars you should know that is the same question that Anakin Skywalker asked Padmé Amidala. Here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP8gd4254ek

I guess if you were at the show and someone asked, just tell them that "Angels live on the moons of Iego, I think."


"Another idea"

Are you an Angel?

Is it time for you to ascend?


Just some ideas
