A while back, Otan suggested we try to come up with a good slogan for the NFO. Something that conveyed the following:


Funky Music
Do it yourself/Indie Musicians,
A collective/compliation of musicians from all over the place

So I just thought of this:

Think Globally, Funk Locally

What do you guys think?

Also, I was in the chat room last night, pimping the website. It was really easy. People would say "Hey Vina! How have you been, what have you been up to?" I must have said "I've been working on a track for this project, www.newfunkorder.com" like 5 times in an hour!

I am doing some publicity on IRC channels, people usually like.

I think the slogan is cool, but I ain't the right person to tell. I like all the slogans that OTAN suggested. I like everything, it's just words anyway.

Hows that???

Think Globally, Funk Locally

I LIKE IT

IRC, chat servers, there's lots of peoples there chatting about music and bands.

Might have to try that one.

ANYTHING to get people's interest up enough to check out the link... and, after awhile, whatever it is that we choose will be great no matter what, like:
"It's the Real Thing" was to Coke, or "You Deserve a Break Today" for McDonalds... these phrases, taken alone, mean nothing at all and in no way convey what the product is/does... so I think you've got a great slogan that says it all.

But you have to be biased, I got positive responses about my song from people who like things like Red Hot and jannes's addiction, and not so good on alternative channels where people like radiohead and silverchair.
So think you got to look for big channels like #funk #soul, i don't know, i only know the channels in Brazil servers.
I use undernet from USA sometimes and THERE's TONS OF PEOPLE of ALL over the world there. I was talking with people from FINLAND, GERMANY, it gets more personal than forums. But it's much more difficult to hold attention. But I think it works, if people really like. Mouth to mouth you know? You can always flood the screen when you're leaving.

I think we should all promote in our own way. Then we can see which is the most successful method

Well I just figured that most of these ideas would work & it would be a shame to choose the wrong strategy, so lets try em all

otan said:

What other artists are we inspired by, I think we've exhausted all the main prince ones

cloud9mission said:

I think he might mean NewFunkOrder Fan Sites, but I'm not sure.

VinaBlue said:

Still finding more forum fansites is just as good an idea as getting more NFO fansites

cloud9mission said:

I like it, but i hav trouble remembering it after a little bit.

VinaBlue said:

Wonderful!!! That's one of the best slogans EVER! Says alot.

Not bad...I'm having trouble with the 'local' though (let's pretend you gig internationally).

What about 'Think Universal / Funk Global'

Red said:

Yeah theres not much local about us as we're all from different parts of the world.

cloud9mission said:

Yeah, but the point is, we are making an impact locally, each of us in different parts of the world, which will create a global effect.

None of us gig globally either. And local also implies one to one contact. Like when you meet people on message boards or chat rooms and have a rapport. Then you say, hey check out this music. They might be in another state or another country, but with the internet, it's like they are next door.

Along these lines, today I also came up with:

What's that smell?

Vina said "none of us gig globally".

Not yet. THINK B-I-G!!

Sooo

Otan: likes

PaisleyPark4: In between?

Cloud9: don't like
Red: don't like


And your point is...

awe Vina...wasn't saying I didn't like it...was just thinking outside our little world and trying to expand and expound. Thinking Universal means, to me anyway...the possibilities are endless. Is this club open to aliens too .

That's Right!
