Don't Lie to Me! snake graphic
Edited on Mon Jul-07-03 10:41 PM by bumbler
In the course of an earlier thread the "Don't tread on me!" flag was mentioned and one thing led to another and Pastiche423 produced the following image. I'm impressed. Basically the idea was to incorporate the spirit of resistance of the coiled rattler image and the Bush Lies theme of that particular thread into the questionW campaign. I'm reposting the graphic because I want others to see it, as an inspiration to others, and also for suggestions. I think the text should be something like "Don't Lie to Me" or something and that the image should be cropped above the W or the W replaced because the W seems to attribute the power of the snake to * rather than the resistance to *. Yes * is a snake in the perjorative sense, more of a tapeworm really, but this is Gaia's snake in fighting mode.



On edit - the Questionw site and the Pastiche423 gallery:

2. Hmm
Yep. Makes it personal. Maybe accusatory mode?
"Cons, you lied!" "

9. Right to the point
No ambiguity. I waas trying to think of something that would recall the "Don't tread on me" slogan, but that allusion is probably meaningless for way too many people.

11. I wouldn't be so sure about
the meaning being lost. A lot more people know about the Gadsden flag than you probably realize.

Don't Tread On U.S.

4. Hmmm
So, you would like the the image cropped above the dot w/the W and text on the image?

Btw, thanks for the nice words!

5. Not sure how.
I REALLY like the image. The "w" bothers me though. More of a slithery-slimy snake might be asociated with the *. maybe with a w-marked pile of snake scat, but this (for me) represents our side's fight-back. Maybe a full QuestionW.com in a circle below?

8. Well...
scat = poo, and I haven't a clue. I can recognize deer, dog, cat, bear, goose, etc., but not snake scat. (Oh, and I don't recommend a google search without a few more keywords.)

10. I thought that is what you meant
but never having seen any snake caca, I have no idea what it looks like. lol

The W w/i the dot is now removed. When you mentioned the QuestionW url, did you mean a semi-circle like on my ?W sticker:



I'm not getting a real idea of what you want below the snake. A coil that looks like snake caca? lol
