'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.

Rainbow splat logo.
Over the top pf the MN Yummymummies.
Welcome to Beirut!

[EllenJanesthickerknickers]

I don't like the glasses.

[RippingYarns]

why does it need a picture at all?

#MNThisIsMyChild should be enough, surely?

[hazeyjane]

I'm thinking maybe no picture is a better way to go.

Could it just MNSN#ThisIsMChild - maybe in a different colour (carrotty orange obviously the favourite!)

[SallyBear]

Personally not keen on any of the logos. I think that a simple and direct "This is my child. This is our life" would work for me.

[Eyesunderarock]

' "This is my child. This is our life" would work for me.'

Me too. Better without pictures.

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

MN has thousands of users....why not tap into all those minds and have a competition?

[SallyBear]

I'm very glad to read that you agree with my suggestion, Eyesunderarock.

[hazeyjane]

Like, 'This is my child. This is our life' a lot.

I agree with the folks who said "this is my child, this is our life" too. It says what it is

I dont mind the child logo but agree that the picture could be better. Sorry if thats been sorted already I havent read all 5 pages of the thread

[sparklesandbling]

I don't like the new image either, its a boy clearly, whereas I have a dd with special needs and so this campaign if using this image would not represent her.

I agree with others why not ask for pictures from artsy mnetters.

[sparklesandbling]

I did not like the two previous pictures either sorry

Ok I feel awful as mnhq are really trying hard here to get it right and want to say thank you for doing all this.

Buttttt my child isn't sweet cartoon looking (this picture now reminds me of Bod with glasses)

if the campaign is to wipe away the myths and the fluff then to have more of an impact it has to be more real?

it's just too gooey cartoony soppy iyswim (and I am still sorry moaning x)

I too like the "this is my child this is our life"

[Summerhasloaded]

Another vote for sallybear's suggestion x

[hazeyjane]

I think that if a logo is going to be used, then a silhouette style might be better. But I think the trouble with any sort of image of a child is that it is going to be such a narrow representation, and considering this is so much about perceptions of what people believe disability to look like that is going to be a problem. I think this being the case, the words may have to be enough. It would be great to have a collage of all our different children, with all their glorious differences as part of the campaign, that might be more representative.

Another vote for 'This is my child this is my life'

I am afraid neither child image remotely represents my teenage DS.

[SallyBear]

I think that "This is My Child. This is Our Life" promotes a strong, proud and positive image of life for a family with a child/children with SN.

[Awomansworth]

Sally Very powerful statement... I love it.

[SallyBear]

Thank you. I hope that others on the SN board like and support it and maybe MNHQ will adopt it for the campaign.

[RippingYarns]

Another yes vote for no picture and This Is My Child. This Is Our Life as the slogan.

Says it all really
