Adding a Poppy To Your Logo For Remembrance Day!
Posted under: Christmas logos are already appearing on many websites – you know the drill a bit of snow here, a picture of Santa there – as many try to cash in on the most wonderful time of the year for shopping and retail. However, few make an effort to add a poppy to their logo for Remembrance Sunday and Remembrance Day – which is a real shame. Wouldn’t it be great if Santa could be held back just for a day or two so that big and small online businesses could do their bit to promote Remembrance?
Perhaps it’s because people don’t feel it’s necessary?
Most certainly there’s no website owner type media pack on Poppy.org.uk to encourage site owners or online businesses to promote this worthy cause. It’s not like they’ve not embraced new technology either as they are web savvy enough to include a Facebook application and email add-on in their new ways to support.
By simply adding a small poppy to your logo for just a few days, you’re helping to remind your users of Remembrance Day as well as demonstrating your own support.
Surely that’s got to be a good thing to do?
Thanks Jason, excellent idea, not added to our logo but as a link in our header bar.
