1. State House maybe? or Missouri House
Edited on Wed Mar-29-06 09:35 PM by AZDemDist6
I think the "of Representatives" is implied

"Congress" implies Federal in my mind at least

2. I think most I've seen just said XXX for "Georgia House",
or XXX for Georgia Senate.

Most of them have the Name SO BIG that the name is all you remember, and that's the intent!

5. Most important thing is the candidate's name in big letters
Edited on Wed Mar-29-06 10:18 PM by beyurslf
I would say State House just because it is smaller and you can put the candidate's name bigger. A bumper sticker is just to get your person's name out there.

7. i think you need the district number
in there somewhere, and maybe work a pic/outline of the state into the design.
does he have a website? put it on there in small type.

8. Constructive Criticism
I don't like it. I'm not telling you this b/c I'm trying to hurt your feelings. I'm telling you b/c I want Mr. Meyer to win! :)

The gold looks too weak. The signs/stickers that show up the best in my opinion are red and black. They really grab your attention (or mine anyway) and exhibit a sense of confidence in the candidate.

All in all I like the design and font. It's very professional looking. It's just the colors... they've got to go in my opinion.

11. I'd make the name portion more prominent
Make Meyer bigger, you could cut the State House height to less than 25% of the total height of the bumper sticker

10. One thing I always had a hard time with before I followed
political races closely was telling a repug from a dem by their signs and such. It always seems none admit to being either.

Just something to think about.

Good luck to your candidate.
