The Future Is Now!

That looks awesome!

Where did you find the background image?

Thanks Roberto - i found it on the net years ago, itā€™s always been a favourite. I donā€™t know if anyone owns the copyright, but this is just a blueprintā€¦ I wanted to add the Meritocracy Star as well, but havenā€™t got a file with a transparent background to make it work.

We could probably get away with using it, or if we want to play totally safe, come up with a Phoenix picture of our own.

The concept is society ( the Phoenix ) rising from the ashes of a broken system & embracing Meritocracyā€¦

ā€˜Grasp The Futureā€™ fits in as a soundbite from my ā€˜The Future Is Nowā€™ script as well.

For the first time, I think politics now has a spiritual dimension that doesnā€™t sound cheesy & fits perfectly with out ideals. Hence the spiritual icon of the Phoenix. I noticed Niall was using it as well on the magazine project.

Putting the spiritual concepts into practise will be the difficult partā€¦

Hope that makes sense,

Sean

I agree, it does look better. How would it look in the top right corner? For more subtler branding.

Good idea Roberto. The problem is that the black parts of the star disappear on a dark background. Iā€™ll keep tryingā€¦

Here is 1 with the star top-right hand sideā€¦

And another variation ā€¦ ā€˜Star-grasperā€™

Update - Iā€™ve asked as many of you as I could find on Podio to submit some images for a video slideshow demo [ images that fit ā€˜The Future Is Nowā€™ script ]. Feel free to join in if I didnā€™t find you over thereā€¦ Thanks

Iā€™ve made a spoken word demo soundtrack of the script, you can hear it here -

The Future Is Now - Spoken Word [ Temp link ]

or in ā€˜Projects/Ideasā€™ on Podio. If any of you want to start uploading images for a video slideshow to go with it, either here or on Podio, that would be welcome. Thanks.
