To whom it may concern:
I noticed a couple of problems with your stopfundingthewariniraq.com site.
First, the logo. Are you sure you meant to go with that trisected octagon
thing? The red octagon I get, the trisection not so much. I’m guessing this
is that
peace sign vs. Mercedes logo
confusion that’s been so popular lately. Is that really what you were aiming
at, though? I admit, I’m not much up on the latest trends in
detournement, so
please disregard this if I’m missing the point.
But the second issue seems to me more important. I don’t see any indication
on the site that any of the sponsors, organizers, or speakers have
stopped, or plan to stop, funding the war in Iraq. Anyone reading the site
would have the impression that all they’re going to do is ask other
people to do this for them, or, even less usefully, that they’re going
to plead with the façade of the building that holds Nancy Pelosi’s regional
office to stop funding the war.
The site now looks like it would be better named “Won’t Somebody Else Please
Stop Funding The War In Iraq” — it might help if the site mentioned the
various ways in which the sponsors, organizers, and speakers are themselves
stopping their payments; elsewise, whatever logo is on the site, it risks
looking ridiculous.
