roxybisquaint: (sarah third season)

It's (going to be) freaking BIG

Emails, letters, postcards... Have we made an impact? Are we getting through to Warner Brothers? Are they hearing the united voice of the fans crying out for more Sarah Connor Chronicles? Maybe, but we think it's time to up our game. We think its time to show Warner Brothers that we mean business:


 



We don't have a finished design yet, but we'll be working off this basic concept.


I know what you're thinking. I may not know how you think, but I know what you're thinking about right now. A mobile billboard?! That's got to be expensive! Indeed it is, but not very expensive at all if everyone chips in. All we need is $3500 and surely there are enough true TSCC fans to make it happen. You think I'm kidding? Nope. You think I'm crazy? Could be. But what better way to tell Warner Brothers we want more TSCC than to send a mobile billboard to their headquarters?

Will you join us? Details and a PayPal Donation widget can be found at SaveTheSCC.com. You can also contribute to this fund from right here, right now. And by the way, that widget will be available in my profile until we reach our goal.

Question: Is it more money to add a graphic with the text? I had a few ideas for basic, illustrated outlines/sihollettes that could go with the text:
-an endo skull
-an endo fist or a human fist with a barcode at the wrist
-group of (3) crouched resistance fighters at one corner and a flying (HK) aircraft at the opposite, upper corner
-side profiles on opposing ends of the billboard of a woman (Sarah) facing down an endo/human face (any gender) with red eyes (both faces would be featureless sihollettes cept the T eyes)

No, it doesn't cost more. The $1250 production charge covers full color printing of both pieces of vinyl (both sides of the billboard). But we do want to stay away from anything that might make people think of Terminator Salvation at a glance. So imagery of an endo or HK or really anything future-war-ish could confuse it. That's the reason we've left the "Terminator" part out of the name, too.

I've contemplated using silhouettes of people, but I really don't think it would come across well. Without the faces, it might as well be Charlie's Angels ;)

Alrighty, I understand.

I don't mean to be rude, it just seems like it is missing something graphically (my wannabe artsy-fartsy self is compelled to offer some ideas). Though, I know that is not the final billboard design.

I think leaving off the word 'Terminator' will deter anyone from thinking 'Terminator Salvation' but a graphic could draw more eyes to read the words on the billboard
