“Doo Dah Hotline: 614-228-0621”
“www.DooDahParade.com”
“Parade
route” [you may us the map instead of text]:
“(Line-up) Park
Street to Buttles to Dennison to Collins to Neil to 2nd to High to Russell.”
Note:
Posters will have a full page 2” wide vertical column listing financial contributors.
Note: Contributors will be listed on the Back of the T-Shirt.
Suggestion: Think outside the box!
The design should incorporate
the Slogo with a theme. Examples can be seen on our web-site: www.DooDahParade.com. We would like to see a theme that reflects the principals and purposes of the
Friends of Doo Dah. The Doo Dah Parade is more than a great satirical parade.
It is an event that give the people a platform to express the 1st Amendment right; through humor. It’s a funny parade. If you can incorporate a theme
into your slogo design that reflects the spirit behind Friends of Doo Dah, it should help you win over the voters who choose
the winning entry.
Another good tip is to
make the design with a vertical orientation so that it looks good on a T-Shirt. The slogo will appear in other places but
the most important place is on the T-Shirt and Poster.
Having your Slogo chosen
is a great DisHonor which will make you part of the history of The Doo Dah Parade. Hundreds
and hundreds and hundreds of parade gaulkers and Doo Dah Lovers will be wearing the T-Shirt at the Parade and will wear them
around for years to come. The winner gets mentioned on the Web-Site, T-Shirts, and Posters, and we give the winner valuable
goodies, including a stack of T’s and posters!
