Phillip Hughes CW support banner at Melbourne and Sydney Test match

[James]

Is Dan's missus able to sign up and offer some suggestions that we can all work with seeing as she obviously has some design talent?


spikey's is a good start, but lacks the cutting edge imo. If we think that's the best rout to take however I would change cricket web to cricketweb.net and add the CW logo in there somewhere along with a bigger picture of Hughes.

Seems CW has most of this covered, so I guess I'm willing to chuck in a few for anyone volunteering to go down and hold up the banner

me too

I'm wondering though, do we have enough regular Adelaide members to get this over the line?

think this needs answering

 

[Spikey]

we'll just fly Jono and Burgey over

 

[morgieb]

i just made one. it's pretty good imo

Change the font and I'd like it.

 

[duffer]

How about a WC themed "Win the Cup for Prince!"

 

[Burgey]

Based on the latest reports of there being no change in his condition despite yesterday's surgery, it might be an idea to hold off committing to the wording of any banner.

Such a horrible thing to contemplate, but if there's no sign of improvement by this time tomorrow, it may well be a very grim outcome.

I really support Phil Hughes and all but India is winning that Cup.

Hey, I said I'd ask her, not that she was confirmed as doing it!

1. Comic Sans will result in the violent death of whoever suggests it. Spikey, run for your life.

2. We'd probably have to be careful with the image of Hughes we use if the CW logo/url is going on it. Yay for copyright concerns and TV cameras.

 

[Dan]

Oh and 3. Could we post it from Adelaide to Melbourne to Sydney and keep it going across the series, perhaps? I'll gladly buy a ticket to the Sydney Test to help display it.

Not that I know anything about how copyright law works but reckon if you just find something by a photographer and just send them an email asking if it's ok then it should be above board

How about something to round off with.... 'do the baggy green proud'

 

[Adders]

Ok guy's my little darling (11 yo daughter) has been playing with this for the last hour and has come up with these efforts. All subject to comments/changes including wording images but it's a start to work on.........

 

[Adders]

Great idea Adders

CW would be happy to make up the difference to ensure we have it happen.

I'm wondering though, do we have enough regular Adelaide members to get this over the line?

That's great James. reckon we have the funds covered more than enough. I was hopeing (if feasible) that you'd pay the flag maker and the members could send their donations through to you via paypal or something? Does that sound doable?

think this needs answering

Yep for sure...........we need some Adelaide members that are going to the test match to put their hands up. Surely there must be a few?

Hey, I said I'd ask her, not that she was confirmed as doing it!

Oooops, sorry mate. That's my bad.......jumped the gun on this one When can you let us know?

Oh and 3. Could we post it from Adelaide to Melbourne to Sydney and keep it going across the series, perhaps? I'll gladly buy a ticket to the Sydney Test to help display it.

That is a ****ing great idea and I reckon we could make that happen.

That's a fair comment, but given the lead time the flag maker needs to get this produced we really need to get the design and payment to them tomorrow. They just called me and said if we can get this done tomorrow they'll be looking at posting on the 8th or 9th Dec which will only just allow time for delivery in Adelaide for the start of the test.

this hurts

 

[Riggins]

$102 seems super expensive. i'm sure you could get it made tomorrow in china and shipped for less than about 25 bucks.

Presume that there is implied consent from Furball for me to change my avatar despite time limit not yet running out on naked Jimmy.

Edit: wrong thread but still stand by this

It's expensive because you're only printing one. I remember getting 20 2 ft x 6ft ones done for about $30 each back in school.
