I dunno: the original slogan had power, but as we've worked on it, it's kind of becoming less and less interesting: the original idea was a snappy alliterative phrase: "Pure Processor Punk". Now, we could change "Punk" to "Passion", though it reduces the snappiness of the last syllable. What we need is a one syllable word beginning with "P" to replace "Punk".

"Pure Processor P....."?

Pissup! No, wait, that's two syllables...

Not too bad, though ideally it would also be slightly musically related.

Best so far, though the word Punch ironically has a bit of a soft ending ("ch"), whereas hard consonants sound a bit crispier.

Few comments

* BACK IN TIME is not that easy to read in multicolour, still...
* The two spizt-logos - why are they there? Paying for the poster? Lose them
* Maybe the commodore logo should be in the right colours?
* The turn64 should be in the right beige colour - more recognizable.

(as a sidenote: the c64 was not in perspective with the turntable so I forced it sort-of in PS, and I think the result is horrible - if you don't care, please use it

)

Also, we prefer that people use slayradio.org when linking to us - I just registered slayradio.com so that it wouldn't be domainjacked.

Since the Spitz will be doing free publicity with this poster, I thought we owed them

To keep the color logo we could get rid of the centre vertical bar. Looks a bit bland without it though. The 'C' could be in the right colors, i'll try it and see what it's like; though I recon it would be over the top with bright red and blue on beige on a blue to black gradient. I'll try the 64 table in beige.

We were removing that link anyway (I pointed out that the small print is being reduced to two lines).

Well, I think that's looking very good!!

I'm wondering: since we've ditched a lot of the whole "pixellated" thing, should we just use the yellow text logo that says "Back in Time Live" (not "Back in Time"?)? Or generally find another font?

Thoughts? I think this is very near the final product now. I like the blue turntable, especially.

Why not just use the same font ? The whole poster is just in one font, so it makes sense.
