Next step would be proxies.

You have way too much time on your hands.

Nerd.

Is that so? Here's some more then.








I'm not putting prairies, as that's the feature of many other provinces and states. We are unique with the mountains that we have. And I'm not putting pump jacks - that's too cliche and our province is simply more than that sterotype.

Anybody here a regular on Beyond? We'll need to draw some outside help now they're limiting votes by IP.

I really like how you're just kind of "I dunno, here's some" and every single one you've put up is way more interesting and well done than any of the official options.

Here's another one with the new Glacier Skywalk:

They're nice, but your tagline might hurt the sensibilities of asthmatics and emphezimiacs.

Only if you leave it off for a long time. You'll only get a new IP from your ISP if the one you had is no longer available in the pool, otherwise you'll be given the same one

I just want them to release the support our troops plate already.

As people have said, we need the plate change. As for the slogan, I don`t really care one way or another. On one hand, I think it`s kinda dumb if it`s being changed for political reasons, but on the other hand, I think we could use a new and better slogan anyway.

I never really liked the motto wild rose country. Kinda non descript, but mostly I don't get how they call that tiny little pink flower a `wild rose`. It looks nothing like any other species of rose and I would imagine is not related in anyway. It's like someone just came along and said, oh, this is a nice flower, what's the name of another nice flower? Rose? Ok, we'll call this a 'wild rose'.

Just one of those things that never made any sense to me. Stupid name.

Come gather 'round children,
It's high time ye learned,
'Bout a hero named CP
And a devil named Griffiths

We'll vote till we drop,
The girls and the fellas,
We'll vote till the death
Or else fold like umbrellas.

So we'll vote day and night,
By the CPU cooling tower,
They have the plates,
But we have the power!

Am on Beyond and this whole plate thing has been the subject of healthy debate in two different threads.

Guess we have done all we can here then.
Sigh...

Thanks Muta, those mock-ups are way better than the "official" options, especially taking away the silly alberta.ca

[sun]

I don't like the "(remember to breathe)" thing all in lowercase and brackets. I know it already exists in their marketing, but I think it's dumb. Also, what's with the blue box?

Slogan itself is okay. I like how it makes sense whether you're road-raging in bumper-to-bumper Deerfoot traffic or whether you're driving to Jasper.
