Description

We are planning to try out an interesting way to fund parts of Iron Sky - by selling what we call War Bonds. War Bond is a document which you can buy and support Iron Sky that way. There'll be more information about that, but now - I'd like to have your great ideas, written or drawn, on our War Bonds campaing.

The task is: design us a War Bonds Ad.

To find out more about War Bonds, please check out the following wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_bond

What I would like you to do is to design a War Bond Ad that's hilarious, and has the main basic message of fighting against space nazis!

Here's some examples, and attached you'll find more!

http://images.google.fi/images?q=war%20bonds&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:fi:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi

We accept submissions in text (a description of the message & picture), a rough sketch, or of course, finished design.

Be creative, be hilarious.

Yes the He is not daddy is great :)

Atte Joutsen June 13, 2008 21:05 FLAG

Oh, I love the "He is not daddy" poster :)

Luca Oleastri June 06, 2008 12:32 FLAG

@ Simon Horrocks: "nazist" was the correct etymology which indicated the "nazist party". The world "nazi" (it also correct) was an abbreviation used by the allies during the second world war.
The word "fascist" is today usually misused to indicate generically a totalitarian dictatorship, but is more suited to indicate the Italian dictatorship during the WWII.
Nazism and fascism was both totalitarian dictatorships, but also if nazism has its roots in fascism, it was different in many ways.
Anyway, these historical deepenings, I think that your observation is historically correct, because almost certainly allies never used the world "nazist" in their propaganda posters, but certainly used the word "nazi"... :)

Simon Horrocks June 06, 2008 07:27 FLAG

"NAZIST" is not a word. Not sure if that's a typo.

How about using FASCIST?

Falling sky

Here is a shot inspired by Asterix comics, where they are only afraid of the sky falling on them.

The tagline could be something like:

The only thing to be afraid of is the falling sky

Continuing with smaller text:

Beware of the Space Nazis! Invest in war bond and we protect you!

And the bond should have a picture of a falling space nazi who has failed to open his parachute and have broken handle in his hand.

Good. I just hope somebody who have some time and can work with the pen would make a draft of this. Feel free anybody who wishes.

Jack Malinowski June 13, 2008 16:15 FLAG

Really enjoy this idea -

THE SKY'S NOT FALLING!

THE MAN IN MOON'S A NAZI!

BUY WAR BONDS NOW!

Oskar Lönnberg April 27, 2008 18:55 FLAG

Hope somebody has the inspiration to come up with a sketch. The key to this poster would be the expression of the space nazi's face, which bit difficult to do if you have space helmets on.

One possibility would be to have a group of space nazis coming down and only few of them have been able to open the parachutes.

Timo Vuorensola April 25, 2008 20:17 FLAG

Yes, a great idea. I'm having fun thinking the falling space nazi. Let's see what we can come up with this!

To continue with that thought:

Chicks dig guys with big war bonds.

Enlarge your manhood. Buy war bonds.

Timo-Heikki Mäkelä June 13, 2008 19:12 FLAG

Hmmm.... This one is a bit double-minded:

Get your wife something sexy: Buy war bonds!

Matthew Howard June 13, 2008 18:00 FLAG

How about:
Only A Nazi Spy Doesn't Buy War Bonds

Iron Sky goes Plan 9

I thought of something from the historical point of view. I'm not a graphic artist so quality varies.

I think its good but the phrase "Nazis From The Moon" is too 'on the nose'. It's too literal.

Perhaps "Fascist Moon Menace" is more catchy. Or something like that.

We need slogans.

By the way, the word Loony (ie: mad) comes from the word Lunar (ie: moon). Is there something that could be done with that? Mad Nazis and all that.

Luca Oleastri June 04, 2008 06:59 FLAG

Hey, this work us great! Very professional! BRAVO!

Jukka Pinonummi May 21, 2008 08:07 FLAG

It's look really nice.

@Simon Horrocks: If you take a look carefully to the foreground saucer you can see the german cross (a squared black and white cross) usually used by Luftwaffe.

Simon Horrocks June 06, 2008 07:26 FLAG

Really great stuff.

On the "Protect them from the menace from the sky" poster, could you get swastikas on the saucers? (Luftwaffe symbol?)

These are awesome. I'm really in love with this stuff, especiallyt he one with the family and the UFOs. Good job.

One thing, AFAIK, You need to say "Before it's too late" instead of "is too late". Do you have originals? could you fix this?

*Oops. Should read:

"Protect Them From The MENACE FROM THE SKY!"

Simon Horrocks June 04, 2008 10:41 FLAG

Nice stuff mate.

The English grammar is wrong on the last two.

Either:

"The Evil Is Back"
"The Evil Has Come Back"

Better:

"The Fascist Evil Returns!"

You need a slogan that is as hysterical and panic-provoking as possible.

"Protect Them From The MENACE FTOM THE SKY!"
(Above a picture of children cowering under the shadow of a flying saucer or something)

Robert Seppälä June 04, 2008 01:05 FLAG

sweet! Do you have a version without camouflage? I think the grey would actually look more menacing.
