!!! FTLOP CONTEST ANNOUNCED !!!

Post by **Roy Hersh** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 1:39 pm

Calling ALL FTLOP Forum Participants -

We are creating a "new" logo image to adorn baseball caps and tee shirts. The bottle you see at the top of the page will be included, as will the upper red colored background (of the two shown). The For The Love Of Port will remain as is, inside the bottle.

The reason? I have a few trade shows, tastings and visits to Portugal coming up. Wearing FTLOP apparel although not as classy as a suit and tie, might not win me friends ... but it just might serve as a billboard and attract a new guest (to the website) or two.

I'd love your thoughts on this. I am even thinking about putting a big bottle across the back of the tee-shirt with http://www.fortheloveofport.com inside it. So please post anything that you think is applicable. The shirt and hat color is probably going to start out with just one selection: black and maybe a 2nd one would be khaki colored. But I am open to suggestions.

Now for the contest

CHALLENGE: I would like to have a tag line that will go directly on top of or beneath the logo'd bottle. It will go inside the red color shown above in black type.

RULES: Tag Line entry -
1. You may enter as early and as often as you'd like.
2. One winner will be selected on Friday, March 2nd 2007 (4 p.m. PST) by the FTLOP Advisory Committee of 4.
4. The tag line must not exceed 5 words and may be (preferably) less; but will be in good taste.
5. As an example, "Any Port in a storm" is not going to win ... so please be a bit more creative and have the tag line more representative of FTLOP.

The winner will be announced no later than Sunday, March 4th.
The last contest winner here, Frederick Blais, wound up with a bottle of 1970 Taylor Vintage Port.

GRAND PRIZE: The best "tag line" submission will win the following:
* The very first FTLOP hat produced
* The very first FTLOP tee shirt produced
* A bottle of FTLOP "favorite" Vintage Port as discussed on the Forum a zillion times ... which has been well-stored for years, in Roy's home cellar.

Please remember to provide some feedback on the topics of color, design etc., although the contest will only reflect the "tag line."

Legal Note: Prior to the Grand Prize disbursement, we will request a signed waiver, providing us with ownership of and the ability to copyright the tag line phrase.

Roy,

It is great to see you opening this up to your members - always good to look for good ideas from those you lead 8)

I will start with a straight forward and probably obvious entry.....

PORT, is from Portugal

Derek

PS: Can we have a second quiz to guess the "favorite VP" - I think I know where my money would go

When I come up with a tag line I'll post it but for now I just wanted to suggest business cards also...something very elegant and tasty with the new logo and url prominently displayed

Hows about

"Like Port, I'm aging well"

There could be plural versions (for banners etc at trade shows)

"Like Port, we age well"

My first three brainstormed tag lines:

:arrow: Port Wine - The Older, The Better. <- (Ok, I'm exceding the 5-word rule here!!) and ...

:arrow: As good as Old Port !!!

What about 'stealing' NBA's line: I Love this Game ??
Converting it into Port Wine, it would be: :arrow: I Love this Port !!!

... more to come ....

Please remember that the likelihood is that the tag line will be directly below the FOR THE LOVE OF PORT in a bottle graphic. 8)

So to have some correlation may be a good idea. But not a requisite. Keep 'em coming, I see a few that I like so far!

Another idea that might spark some additional ideas is to throw out some tag lines as to what the site itself is... something like:

"The Best Damn Port Site on the Web"

(or something like that).

Great job everyone on the lines, keep 'em coming.

Jay Powers · Post by **Jay Powers** » Mon Feb 26, 2007 9:06 pm

How about:

The most Decant site on the web?

Jay

Jay Powers · Post by **Jay Powers** » Mon Feb 26, 2007 9:25 pm

OK, I have too much time and a glass of port in my hand so heres some more:

FTLOP your way to Port

I FTLOP my Port

FTLOP: 100 points

FTLOP: *****

FTLOP: 20/20

FTLOP Is Port

FTLOP: Your Port

FTLOP: Your Port Site

FTLOP: 100 points of Port

Now I'm going to be thinking about this all night :?
