Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras: Atheist Float

[Jason Jarred]

Hello crew,
Long time no see! This year I am planning to participate in the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, Atheist Float. We have a 'bus' theme, and plan to make cardboard buses with various atheist slogans splashed on the sides. I've been tasked with designing the flyers that are to be given out on the night, and thought it would be great to get some feedback from fellow atheists on the content and layout of the flyers.

A few things:
1) We want the leaflets to be *small* and succinct (I think single-sided)
2) We want the leaflets to grab the readers attention
3) I'm uncertain whether we can use colour printing or not at this point

One of our prep group has suggested using the same cloud theme used on billboards in America, but at this point we are still brainstorming imagery and text.

I appreciate any and all input the forum members here may have - if you have any ideas about content or format feel free to contribute!

Do we need to include Keanu Reeves in that list?

If possible having two different ones would be cool, people would notice the difference and point it out hopefully.

Also I think the first picture you linked is worth putting beside any other message, it will catch those who might think they ARE alone, and the other leaflet can give more information. Print the same ammmount as planned just 50/50 it or something I think.

Go for a positive message rather than negative - push reason, humanism and the things atheists do believe in.

We have finalised the flyer (attached).
Thanks for your feedback, it took many hours to finally arrive at the final draft - it isn't in fact my preferred format, but I had to take into account many thing (including the group directors preferences )
