'This Is My Child': come vote for the logo please

[RowanMumsnet]

Hello

Hopefully lots of you will be aware that we're gestating a campaign called 'This Is My Child' (you can see the background here.)

We've had two logos drawn up - and want you to tell us which you prefer.

Hearts or child? Post on the thread to let us know.

[hazeyjane]

I notice that the other campaigns haven't really had a logo, is one necessary at all?

I like the competition idea - very Blue Peter, I will get my pens out and start drawing my magnificent goose, carrot masterpiece ASAP.

Curse you Lougle for having put the Bobinogs theme tune into my head, it will fester there all day now!

[hazeyjane]

I was just about to put forward dh's beautiful design of a panda holding aloft a rainbow (honestly it is a thing of beauty and a design he has done on one of dd1's tshirts...)

but i think zzzzz's idea is best, could their be some geese flying overhead? Love the idea of an orange ribbon to shoe support!

[hazeyjane]

show support not 'shoe support', unless the design is just a large Piedro boot coming down on the heads of tutters and caring carrots, in the style of the monty python foot coming down.

[AmberLeaf]

BTW my son is surprisingly happy for me to provide a pic of him for your campaign, so happy that he wants me to take one especially!

Will send it in as soon as I've got it.

[AmberLeaf]

scuse lack of grammar, you get the gist though.

@hazeyjane

Arf, thanks

And thanks for all the comments - we'll have a mull

[Bluebirdonmyshoulder]

Love the idea of getting a carrot in there somehow! It makes a serious point - the number of 'helpful' comments and amazing pieces of advice we could never have thought of ourselves that we're expected to be oh so grateful for.

I don't like the child image, looks a bit... well... creepy. I would prefer a child on the image but maybe less cartoon like.
How do you want images sent to you? Happy to send you an image of my ds but don't want it linked to my username iykwim

[AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore]

instead of a child picture, why not do a simple child's head silhouette? Just like the ones we all get of our children in primary school at some point. And then the words under it "this is my child". It gives the impression that they all are relatively similar, but shows that they are opaque really - it's just a silhouette and there is more to them than that.... if that makes sense.

But a real child silhouette, not a cartoony one.

[AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore]

when I say "all relatively similar" I mean children in general - that often the disabilities are invisible

[BlackeyedSusan]

I like the hearts one... but it does not link in with the campaign... I prefer the child, but the actual child in it need tweeking. too basic.

[EllenJanesthickerknickers]

I don't like either, but do like the idea of a realistic child's head silhouette. Would fit in with MN logo and would be vague enough to cover visible/invisible/boy/girl etc.

[theDudesmummy]

I am afraid I don't really like either, but if I had to choose one I would take the hearts, the cartoon child doesn't seem right somehow

[RowanMumsnet]

Morning

Thanks very much for your input: here's what we've come up with - we've tried to take as many of your comments on board as we can.

[Eyesunderarock]

Sorry, others may like it but I think it is hideous.
It looks like an anthropomorphic monkey child from a cheap anime.
What's with the sideburns?
It looks even less human than the first pringles design.

[RippingYarns]

That picture is better


BUT

it looks like a boy

That's one of the hardest struggles I have as the parent of a girl with autism - how girls are so different in their presentation of their difficulties

[coppertop]

The new one looks like the long-lost love child of the Pringle man and Timmy Mallett.

[Badvoc]

No.
That's terrible
And it's a boy.
And not all kids with sn/sen water glasses and some of them are girls.
I wonder if we need to come away from an image if a child....it's appears too be fraught with issues.
How about a logo with MNSN in the title?
Dunno....not good at this stuff....
