Hi Guys!
I'm sorry for posting this under logos, but I wasn't really sure where to put it. I'm also sorry it's not more $, but honestly the only reason we don't cut it as "charity" is we're not a 501©(3). Ok, enough making excuses. :-)
This contest is for $30.00 for a "Slam a Spammer" graphic. :-)
What we want is for this hammer (gavel, really):
http://www.isipp.com/images/gavel-red.jpg
..or something very much like it, to be landing on the head of a spammer. It should be clear that it's "slamming" the spammer (features kind of squished, or "X"s as eyes, or..whatever you like..but it should *not* be gory. It should be *funny*, not disgusting. :-)
The caption should read "Slam a Spammer Today!" (can be all on one line, or broken up such as "Slam a Spammer" above and "Today" below, or whatever you think is most visually appealing, and have in very small text somewhere "Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy" or "http://www.isipp.com", whichever works better.
It may be useful to know that generally spammers are thought of as seedy, sleazy looking types.. there is a stereotype of them operating out of a grimey mobilehome, pressing "send" to mail their spam while tossing chicken bones over their shoulders (as in the chicken legs from KFC they are eating while sending their spam).
It might also be helpful to have the spammer sitting in front of their computer. with the hammer hitting them from behind.
This is going to go up at our CafePress store as a fundraiser on cups, t-shirts, etc.. so should be something *funny*, which people will see and say "ooh, I want that!" :-)
Thanks!
Anne
