EnterVOID Promo thread - Spread the word!

It's come to our attention that many of you are posting up fliers and spreading the word without encouragement. That's awesome!! We would like to help out everyone who is willing to go that extra mile for void, as well encourage people who may have not thought of doing this before to try it out.

A lot of our members are college students, particularly art students. Posting fliers up on the bulletin board might catch a few eyes. Also, comic shops or any other place you think a potential future voider would lurk in your town.

Here are some items you can use to help promote the site, and we certainly encourage you to create your own and share them with us here!

I had the opportunity to design an ad for VOID to go in the back of a one-shot freelance comic that I was hired to do, and since I asked a bunch of you for the use of your characters in it, I figured I'll post it here.



!!!! SUPER SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT !!!!

Red gave me the OK to finish this ad and print it in the comic, BUT THIS IS BASED ON AN OLD STYLE SHEET AND SHOULDN'T BE REPRINTED OR USED ANYWHERE ELSE. The comic is only a 30 copy print run, so the exposure will be minimal.

Red is working super hard to get everything ready for the next version of VOID. Then, AND ONLY THEN, will the ads and fliers and promotion campaigns really kick into gear. It's all very secret, and Red has the final say so on all promotions for VOID. I don't know anything about it other than the NO "OFFICIAL" ADS SHOULD GO OUT UNLESS RED APPROVES THEM.

EDIT: Red says go ahead! (see her posts below)

Boy it's a good thing I read that super duper important text before deciding to mindlessly share this ad on facebook!

It looks fantabulous Bent!

Can't wait for the next phase of Void~

Hahaha I'm not THAT much of a Nazi, Ben! I think this looks really nice! You guys can totally share it or whatever! Please do!

I'm totally down for people making their own ads and stuff. I put together a VOID style guide so that we can stay consistent with logos, colors, wording, etc.
Since we are making 6.0, we have a new logo and pretty soon we will have a fabulous new comic explaining VOID :) Nothing is super concrete yet, so using our "old" branding is perfectly fine for now! I'm waiting for 6.0 to be done to make us a new style guide and actually spend that ad money on stuff.

I DO very much appreciate people at least letting me see any ads you do, because Toast has some very specific things about using certain words when referring to the site. Hopefully soon we will have our new site, new logo and all the shiny new ads for everyone to use :D

I made that thread a while ago! I think only Kent made a flier though? Maybe I should merge that thread with this one then hmm. I think this was just for Ben to show us the cool ad he made. His disclaimer was because I told him that pretty soon we would have a new look/logo/that thing you did to advertise with. But since he was on a deadline he just used the old look.

I wasn't trying to make you out to be one! I just take things like this fairly seriously.

That's probably a good idea. I looked for a thread for this but I guess I didn't look hard enough.

Ok, I smooshed them together.

So, to be clear:

1. Anyone can make a VOID ad, I just ask that you conform to certain guidelines set by Toast.
2. This thread is a work in progress, and will eventually have a bunch of pre-made ad/promo stuff so you don't have to do a custom ad if you don't want to.
3. Since we are updating our look, I don't have a billion things here currently.
4. If you want to make an ad, you might want to wait until we unleash the new logo and stuff.
5. If you're on a tight deadline, like Ben was, feel free to use the old look. I won't die.

aw shiznacks, I actually printed a bunch of postcards almost a year ago and have been distributing them at some cons. I even got a photo of Gabo holding one up in approval:


And the postcard said this:
