Visual Branding Core using Purple Spitting Phoenix

There is visual chaos.
Occupy is best when it uses asset based management & emergent design principles... Basically taking what you have and improvising a fun solution.
So let's occupy this.
looks like best plan of action is to spin designs off of the purple & orange one crafted by Ryan Griffin?
Idea would be to 'riff' off of his design with use of similar colors, font & design elements when possible.
Would not be a hard rule but would give a frame work for many designs to be produced that would all work together.
Simply using the same font would help alot.
Colors are: #5F098E #ED604E #EDB82C #E31904 #8223B5
Think this might work?

Folks. Please Just use #NatGat we don't need to include the year & it will allow the content to come up with past year's event.
Hashtags should be short & consistent. Let's use what the community already use, which is #NatGat.
This will connect our work with past content online & will help future efforts.
It's always good to do a twitter search 1st before spending time trying to workshop a new unique one.
Alot of #OWS content is lost to our wider movement because of the use of unique hashtags... Occupy speaks Twitter look to that platform for ideas on best practices & interesting tactics..

I've been tweeting NatGat2014 so ppl can get this year's info The first year we did #NatGat the second wan -#NatGat2 in Kzoo. We had agreed on #NatGat2014 - I could settle for #NAtGat3 if it must be made shorter

I also have been using the year; let’s not revisit another decision that has already been made.

The image just needs to be updated and this one needs to be retired - not be put into circulation

You folks do know hash tags are for Twitter, right?
No one will see #NatGat2014, it's a wasteful confused design.
If yer gonna break with Occupy practice and make a custom one consider using #NatGat14. People HATE extra character ;)
Every one counts. Not a big deal folks will use what they prefer & the best catch on- regulating hash tags or anything on twitter never works..

I'll reach out to kit to see. I'll see what info i can pull together about tactics and practices Occupy has had success with.

#NG3 = a postal code; we tried it early on and got a lot of things that related to—Nottingham, I think? Let’s stick to #NATGAT@2014
