Looks great to me. However, can we drop the word "precious"? Seems somewhat...effete.

I was thinking of posting this in the main forum and asking for ideas before making it official. What do you guys think?

 
Also agree. One other point I just noticed - we do want to instruct contestents that they need to post the video to YouTube and provide a link to it when they submit it on the Board. We never really make that clear in the message, so we probably need to add it.

By George - I think he's got it!

 
Two things:

1. Should we provide the logo we want them to use for HB or HN?

2. I might be able to do the advertising video, but I'm not sure I want my face to be THE face of this thing.

3. If we need a HB google account, I created one a couple years ago. Speaking of that, we can use it for anything if we need to. (huskerboard<at>gmail.com)

I know, I can't count

1. Hmmmm - on the one hand, I'm inclined to say they should use our current banners for both, just so they are familiar when someone visits the board after seeing the video. On the other hand, I'd like to see how creative they can be - their banner ideas wouldn't be limited to the constraints we have for the Board (size, etc.) and they might do something that would draw the viewer on the banner alone.

2. I think the idea would be a compilation video featuring snippets from the submissions - that's the way I took it.

3. Have to keep that in mind. Possibilities...

 
Here are some 'mini-banners' to use on the opening of the videos.

Apart:
