Title: The Apple 'think different' campaign for Bitshares
Post by: MrJeans on January 16, 2015, 03:30:27 pm
I saw this image on the facebook page:
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/s480x480/1520817_631474186999347_7334790616205578348_n.jpg?oh=cf348966833c388bef2ff2c997b9bbcf&oe=5528ED2C&__gda__=1429225989_fade74b574b55514498ba1ab69deb8e2)

Which made me think of the apple 'think different' campaign, which was one of their most sucsessful advertising campaigns.

Could we do something similar for Bishares. Where we have famous people with their quotes and have a tiny Bitshares logo in the corner.

Thoughts?

It is almost like we are marketing bitshares as invoking the ghosts of these brilliant thinkers.

That was me! I am all down with making a big database of those kinds of memes and posting them on the BitShares fanpage.

Thanks for the positive feedback

The Apple campaign was rather ironic but it's a nice quote.

Quote
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. [Apple Inc.]


We could do..

The second part of the quotation ("I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies...") may well be a paraphrase of a statement Jefferson made in a letter to John Taylor in 1816. He wrote, "And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

Not sure what the considerations are for using the likeness of people now living, and their words, but here it is... :)

I thought the Apple "Think Different" campaign was kind of a "F-You" to the IBM "Think" campaign (in which Microsoft had ultimately aligned itself with).  By the way, it's why all of their laptops were named thinkpad (I suspect  :D).

It would be funny if the new Bitshares slogans mocked popular banking slogans in an obvious / similar way.  Just spit-balling here.  Something that makes them look silly & archaic.  It needs to be more sublime than pithy / rude though.

That made me think of this quote, could apply to the current banking system or *cough cough ripple.

I took this photo in the Pacific ocean, and gladly offer it up in service to inspiration!

I'm curious what quotes you all might add to it... :)
