Beckett Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I'm annoyed that we haven't seen these 4 shortlisted brands that were supposted to be on the website months ago. Has anyone seen anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxchatterbox Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I saw the report on the telly of the meteor over Australia lighting up the sky and then falling in flames.... ...will the branding images be going up in smoke.....??? (but bet the bill - how much is the branding exercise costing - is paid first!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckett Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Well it's now March 2006, still no branding announced. In fact the website doesn't seem to have been updated since September last year... http://www.gov.im/cso/branding/pr.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 So now we've spent a fortune on a new Manx Flag embazened with "Freedom To Flourish" - what happens now? Aren't we back to good old fashion marketing and coming up with some commonsensical ideas to bringing finance and investment into the island - which, arguably, if we were any good at we wouldn't have needed to spend all that money on coming up with a branding slogan in the first place. Let's face it, we could have thought of several slogans (and better ones) on here in a matter of minutes. Duh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxmedia Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Did any see the "Freedom To Flourish" stand at Tynwald on Wednesday? I didn't get it. They sent up some balloons, gave out some pens and key holders, what was that all about?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 It was 'symbolism!' (Haven't you read the Da Vinci Code?) The balloons were representative of the government - full of hot air and likely to be taken in whatever direction the wind blows. The pens were indicative of the UK and European legislation that is normally presented for signature without even being read by anyone. The key holders were to show that we're all locked into a mindset that belongs to a previous age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckett Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Check out 'Another Dam Production for the Isle of Man Government', sorry, the Freedom to Flourish video http://www.gov.im/cso/flourish/downloads.xml The brand book is quite good, along with the report to Tynwald I'd say we got our money out of it... so long as implementation goes ahead and builds momentum. P.S. the 'DAM Production' thing will make sense if you watch the video til the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripsaw Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 /Grits teeth... The video is actually quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 mhhh, not a badly made video at all. In my more cynical moods, I see all the gloss and self proclamation as being like covering a festering boil. Eventually the boil will burst. There are many dissatisfied people on this Island, for example, apparently over 30 petitions of grievance were presented at Tynwald this year. There will be more. Tynwald day did not have huge crowds this year (contrary to newspaper/radio reports) - despite the superb weather. Although the MEA is just about forgot and so is Mount Murray and the NED thing will just fizzle out. Perhaps we'll all 'Move on', 'Draw a line under it'. I shall however, brush up on my film-making software and produce a video depicting the said glossy boil exploding. I shall need a singer and some groovy locations. I'll let you know how I get on.

I think a lot of people are looking to the upcoming election to draw a line under the activities of Tynwald, its members and the executive over the past five years. Fingers crossed!
