Unfortunately Meetup costs money, to be able to post events (be an 'organiser') you have to subscribe and its a minimum of $10 a month. Istr early on that richard kindly donated some membership and tried using meetup to advertise our events, we didn't get any responses via it at the time, and its expensive for what we would get out of it. I am all for people putting an advert for us up on any appropriate websites they find. We should already be on all the major hack/make- space listings websites, but i am sure there are many more we haven't thought of. Nathan, The mockups look like they would make nice flyers, postcards, or other smallish advertising material. we need to have a hard think about where to deploy such things, and which kinds of people they would attract. The font/logos, whilst the first one looks nice, i think it sends the wrong message, to me it screams computer geeks, and we are trying to be so much more than just that.

Justin I agree that any changes need to be in the service of attracting people likely to join. If you're talking about the logo that looks like it's from Ceefax, I'd already written off that whole page, just experimenting. :) I think the "square" logos have the most potential to attract different types of people, precisely because it's a flexible system that can show different 'activities' depending on the context. And it can overcome the handicap of having 'hack' in the name by giving more info in the logo itself. I think I'll leave it for now anyway. Popping in to the vinyl place this afternoon, will try to get some translucent red and/or green. Should be able to get the cutter to work with the svg. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
