USA-ALL Billboard Idea? Win $50!

[Kiel]

wasn't planning on collecting.

So your saying you will do anything for free It did look good though, don't ninja me

I like Shanes idea,easy to read and figure out.
Maybe do it with pictures of different areas depending on where the billboard is located, desert, mountains, redrock.

 

[offroaddave]

I tenth Shane's idea. That's awesome.

I really like Shanes picture. That really shows we are about the outdoors and not just offroading.

i hike and ride horses, and use to mountain bike.



I was kinda thinking about a picture od a large dirty city and have the words " these are the only trails open now" Make sure they have sidewalks.

Are billboard limited to colors that can be printed?

No, we can go full out. The price is the same.

AWESOME work Herzog!

I like it!

I'll eleventh that sentiment. I like it as well.

Steve we can re-shoot the photo at summer convention if you want. We would have a good selection of rigs and people.

Yes, we can definitely do that.

I'd definitely like to do that as well.

The cost is per billboard. It costs $725 to have the cover printed and installed, so we could use different art on each billboard. Also, if we want to change it later, we can do that. Although, I'm trying to avoid that. $725 a pop adds up.

We'll actually end up with 5 total:

Sigurd I-70, facing west
Mouth of Spanish Fork canyon, facing east (existing one)
Hwy 6 in Helper, facing south
I-80 at Delle, facing west
I-15 at Cove Fort, facing south

So using a different background photo in each locale would be very good.

I like WJ ZUK's also. Something about Moab and San Rafael Swell would be good on the Spanish Fork Canyon sign.

Keep any additional ideas coming. We need to get art done and printed soon, but I don't want to rush and end up with something that isn't productive in generating action (phone calls and web visits in this case).

What about doing a float for the parades next year? Have hikers,fishermen, Boy Scouts, mtn bikers, ATVs, quads, 4x4's etc walking/riding around the float. Have them handing out fliers,water and candy. Put a chain link fence around some mtns/lakes in the middle of the float. Place a few eco-nazis inside. You get the picture...

 

[78mitsu]

what do you think about a cologe of motorsports events with a big blank spot in the middle with the text.

Photo contest would be great too so they're real people. (save you the cost of a photo shoot too.)

You should put meats donkey in the middle and say "dont be a jackA$$ save our land!!!!"


You could put a super cute baby in the middle and say "help save our lands for the children" or something along those lines.

This is the only way we will be able to have our rigs on the trails before too long.

OMG I hope you edited that donkey in there.....

Nope, and I'm totally cereal

 

[scoutabout]

How could've I forgotten about that pic?

 

[StrobeNGH]

Keep things civil, yet poignant.

Have a picture of a family playing in a campground near a dirt road and a SUV.

Then caption it with:
"this opportunity brought (if that is the right word) to you by USA-ALL;
protecting off-road access . . ."

Remind people of exactly what is being protected and you'll probably get more help.

A couple of quick ideas-

 

[Herzog]

A couple of quick ideas-

I really like both of those.

 

[Rusted]

I llike the hug a trail. that works good on a billboard

 

[Cody]

I don't, only because the common person has no idea that "tree-huggers" are really anti-environment. Majority of SUWA/Sierra money comes from people who think they are doing a service to the environment and to those people "tree huggers" isn't a derogatory term.

I personally think we need to fight the higher moral battle here. We need to emphasize access for ALL--at least on the outside reach out to all land users--whether they are for us or against us--to show we are not a one sided organization trying that vies solely for motorized access. We are a coalition of responsible land users who enjoy the outdoors in a variety of ways--for a variety of reasons. Bringing all land users together to responsibly enjoy the land. Personally, as soon as I see a group attack another group--it turns me off..

I think most people don't want to pick sides, they want to be wherever it is easiest for them to be. If we make the image of the organization out to be anti-anything, well then by contributing to the organization the person also gets hit with that label and I think the majority of people don't want that and ultimately support any responsible land use.

Did that make any sense? I have to type fast cause I'm at work and I probably shouldn't be getting to far into these threads....

 

[Rusted]

I hear your point and I agree. I was not thinking about the "group A" vs. "group B" side of it, just that the billboard looks good, easy to read, and I got a quick meaning out of it was I went by at 65mph. Your reasoning makes lots of sense when appealing to the masses.

 

[Cody]

I think Suwa et. al. would hate it, we all would love it, and most people would miss the intended point and probably take it as negative advertising against a group that is generally held in good favor amongst the uneducated masses.

 

[allterrain]

So your'e saying that something like this would be alittle over the top?
