Heh heh…this would likely only be understood from the ad campaign for drinking milk here in Canada, but this one occurred to me right before I feel asleep the other night:
“Knit, it does a body good. Cast it on!” Lame? Yes…I’ll see if I can come up with a design for some of the great ones that have been posted already. Wish I could be there. Just didn’t have enough notice to get the time off so I could be there. Have a great time guys!!

Today Knitters Represent is my absolute favorite. It’s simple and all the things happening on the 22nd. The Today thing will get it noticed and Represent gives a shout out to Stephanie. Perfect!

Oh, one more: (I really couldn’t resist this one! LOL)

“Yarn Over to the Stitching Revolution!”

“One Nation Under Yarn”

Since we are trying to represent, make a statement, it occurs to me that the two biggest sources of power we have come from our buying power and our political power. And we come from an electronic community, so I wanted to capture that as well. So, how about this?

iKnit!
iBuy!
iVote!

Knitters unite!

Guido, I posted your info on my website this morning.

Ideas for the poster…….you have some great ideas for fun slogans….I would use the ones that have “Knit” or “Knitting” in the title to try and get the point across quick and bold. How about “Real Men Knit”!?!?!

OK… someone has shared two things with me that I think are important to think about

1) The slogan should try to include NBC

I kNit
Because I
Can
(bad slogan, just showing the example)

2) Knitting hats for the hosts might get us more access

3) suck up to Al

So I don’t know, but I feel like I am going to recruit people to knit soe NBC hats this weekend.

How about:

“Knitting the World Together, One Stitch at a Time”?

Nice thought, dual meaning? Too many words? I still like it!
I am really enjoying your Podcasts.
Keep up the good work,
Cindy

Love the idea of the Today Show logo on the sign and I am partial to “Today Knitters Represent” with each word on its own line…

Oh, I LOVE the “Peace. Love. Knit.” slogan. It sums it all up so well – this knitting community.

I have the technical know-how and tools – but not sure I have the time to brainstorm anything else togeher. I will try to get the time to work up something, but I can’t offer any promises. (Unless someone wants to call me every hour on the hour to hassle me! haha!)

I’m trying to think of a good slogan but in the meantime, check out these HILARIOUS knitting ads!

How about:

Knit Is Tonic
We’re Loud, We’re Proud….WE KNIT!
Knitting – what all the cool folks do
Pro-Knitting
Knitting – It’s not just for Grandma’s anymore
Got Knitting?

“Take Back the Knit.”

ok- one more-

peace, love, knit

“knit now- ask me how” (That’s lame- i admit)

“just knit it”

“Knit. Today.”

“Knit one?-Me too”

“Knit- purl, boy or girl- Knitters represent”

“Knitters Represent”

“I, You, We…knit”

“Knitting- Google it – learn it- do it- Today”

“knit” (just that. can’t get more simple or clear;)

“knit. blog. unite.”
(I am not a design person— but I see this one as simple with just an “icon” below each word- Crossed knitting needles under knit- a computer screen under blog- hands clasping -as in a handshake-

ok- I’m a freak…..spent too much time playing with these ideas- good luck! Will be watching!

You Knit? Yes….TODAY and everyday.

By: Tracy

Careful with the lamination, it can reflect the glare of lights or bright sun back at the camera and hide the message underneath.

As far as slogans:
Knitting’s not just for grandmas!

Why not knit your own? (with pics/icons of socks & sweaters)

By: Kathleen

Kathleen — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 12:57:57 +0000

If you want it on TV, you might not want to use the second one in your list.

Another suggestion:

Knitters (in big letter)
Represent (in smaller letters below)

Wish I could be there! Enjoy!

Hi Guido! I have a sweet incentive for the winning design. How about 2 hanks of Handmaiden’s Great Big Sea Silk in blue/green?? The photo is on my latest entry (or should I say entreaty?) describing our dastardly plan!

Why, why, why do I have to work on the 22nd?!? Grrr!

My brain is a total blank on a slogan. I like the “I am a Knitter” or “We Are Knitters” idea.

Maybe “Knitting… It’s a lifestyle”?

By: Laritza

Laritza — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 02:40:54 +0000

Knitters United for a Better World………or something like that! for the slogan I know peanuts about poster design
