Saving Scotland
Its happened! Something to get me off my duff and blog. In all actuality I've been very busy and everything I've been drawing I can't post. Bummer. But alas a buddy of mine pointed something out to me which I had to take on. The new slogan for the Scottish Tourism campaign.
Don't laugh this is serious stuff to me. ( being scottish-my family actually arriving to the americas with the mayflower-no bull) Ahem. So on with the story. Last years slogan was- "The Best Small Country in the World" Well after 6mos and 250 thousand lbs ( thats a half million dollars here in america) the advertising company came up with this years slogan and the scottish government surely got their moneys worth- "Welcome to Scotland"
If you just slappedd your hands to your forehead I did that too. So now I am on a mission with the help of friends to come up with a better slogan and possibly a graphics campaign that is way better than - "Welcome to Scotland" And so far we have 130 way better alternatives. Come next friday I will sort through the list and pick the 10 best and send them to the scottish government for a looksee and see if they wont amend there current solgan.
So roll up your sleaves and if you got a better idea than "Welcome to Scotland" I'll send it on up to the First minister himself Alex Salmond and see if we can't rectify this gross over sight.
