I was thinking that the logo could do with being a bit more distinctive. I liked Dan's idea of an eye with a globe and tried to make the whole thing into a bit of a statement.
If people like it, then I'll finish the design - which is in an early stage: http://www.juicygeography.co.uk/pgiip

I would probably change the slogan to Val's suggestion as well.

Cheers Noel

Noel, I like the logo - a very strong image! Let me have a finished copy and I will add it to the website. I would quite like some feedback on the text, the sloagan, etc so that I can get a concensus and make any amendments.

Thanks to all those that have signed up but we must have lots and lots more - numbers are important in this game. Please stand up and be counted...

I will try and add some comments that people have sent in when I have finished typing up my exam papers this evening.

is it possible to produce a brief flyer, that we could add into our everyday school mailings?

We could also add the address our email signitures?

Maybe an A4 poster as well.

I was wondering whether it is also possible to get a t-shirt done with the logo/address through an e-shop, if one of us set it up, we could set the commission at nothing, so we are just paying for the t-shirt.

Just thinking aloud.

Happy to aid, come half term.

I have updated the movie with new logo and saved it to 3MB so it can be viewed easily online. Feel free to use in anyway you see fit.

Question: Do geographers really care about this issue or are they just slow to react?

There should be a deluge of people signing their name to this. We are talking about the status of Geography in the media! The professional associations are doing their bit and working hard to raise the status of geography in the curriculum. Is it asking too much that we as individual geographers make a bit of an effort and try to get the subject to be recognised in the media in a more positive way?

Get off your bums Geographers.

Note to web designers - Unlike excellent FireFox, Internet Explorer doesn't yet support png transparency so include this snippet of javascript in the header of your page to force it to show the logo properly:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script language="JavaScript">
function correctPNG() // correctly handle PNG transparency in Win IE 5.5 & 6.
{
var arVersion = navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")
var version = parseFloat(arVersion[1])
if ((version >= 5.5) && (document.body.filters))
{
for(var i=0; i<document.images.length; i++)
{
var img = document.images[i]
var imgName = img.src.toUpperCase()
if (imgName.substring(imgName.length-3, imgName.length) == "PNG")
{
var imgID = (img.id) ? "id='" + img.id + "' " : ""
var imgClass = (img.className) ? "class='" + img.className + "' " : ""
var imgTitle = (img.title) ? "title='" + img.title + "' " : "title='" + img.alt + "' "
var imgStyle = "display:inline-block;" + img.style.cssText
if (img.align == "left") imgStyle = "float:left;" + imgStyle
if (img.align == "right") imgStyle = "float:right;" + imgStyle
if (img.parentElement.href) imgStyle = "cursor:hand;" + imgStyle
var strNewHTML = "<span " + imgID + imgClass + imgTitle
+ " style=\"" + "width:" + img.width + "px; height:" + img.height + "px;" + imgStyle + ";"
+ "filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader"
+ "(src=\'" + img.src + "\', sizingMethod='scale');\"></span>"
img.outerHTML = strNewHTML
i = i-1
}
}
}
}
window.attachEvent("onload", correctPNG);
</script>

Sorry I have not posted. I am just ending my second day of five on Exmoor (checking out the sheep, Butlins and sea walls). You guys ROCK - this campaign is really rolling. I know that it only costs £117 to get 5,000 double sided colour postcards to be printed up by a company my wife has used.... also yellow arrows might work with this campaign somehow.

I think that the 'Happiness' project could be a useful tool to spearhead the campaign as well.
