WCG Bumper Stickers

Has anyone thrown around the idea of IBM World Community Grid bumpers stickers in a while?

Would the time be right to get them out there?

Re: WCG Bumper Stickers

We're finding that when people read about World Community Grid in hard copy, be it in a newspaper or bumper stickers, it only impacts their short term memory. The best ways to spread the word seem to be online information (so people can go to the site and register immediately) or the personal touch.... people telling other people.

Re: WCG Bumper Stickers

I agree that the advertising aspect of it wouldn't be very effective overall, but I think there is a certain amount of pride in having such a bumper sticker to let people know your taking part in something bigger than they probably are and to let them know there are projects trying to make a positive difference on our planet. The message is inspiration and hope I think.

Here in Albuquerque,NM people pay close attention to vehicles and bumper stickers that stand out, they pay little to no attention to the ordinary stuff. So the design and what it says would need to be great and simple. FYI: A Google search will quickly pull up places that allow you to design your own bumper sticker online in real time and order it.

Most people just drone to work like zombies and go home in an endless routine of loops between family and work. I think it's time to try and wake some of these zombies up to more possibilities than what they are used to doing and get them thinking. We need change in this country and in a lot of ways and I think more and more people are realizing it, especially in politics. I think our society is becoming more progressive towards change and helping the world as a whole.

That is just my opinion and maybe a bit more over a bumper sticker..lol. It's just there are so many bumpers stickers lacking any value or intelligence in them. "F*** Bush" doesn't exactly seem intelligent to me!
