Having been negative about the Mortimer name I have been giving thought to what name I would support and why I would support it. Of the suggestions on the forum the that seems to fire my imagination is Love Heritage .
Strange that, on the surface it seems old hat but when I let my imagination run riot with it it took me to some interesting places.
The logo could be very simple a heart and a capital H, possibly intertwined like the initials of Henry VIII and Anne Bolyn
you could run a teaser campaign with it just using the heart and H
All sorts of connections to make:
Heritage Heroes
Help Heritage
Heritage Horrors
All sorts of verbs and nouns beginning with H
If you wanted a cuddly avatar how about a hare ? A good traditional British animal with all sorts of mythical associations and of course a bit mad on occasions.
Mad about heritage? mad about what is happening to it? Join the HAREs ( Heritage At Risk Envoys) Could even have one of those enamelled hare broaches as a logo
Read Terry Prachetts last Tiffany Aching book to see what the hare does when threatened by the flame
What I am saying is that if my some what addled brain can fly with Love Heritage than maybe the massed might of the little grey cells on this forum could take it to the moon ( and beyond)
Did try flights of fantasy with Mortimer but kept coming back to the death connection also image of pipe smoking not PC in post public smoking ban era . Did like " Murder Mortimer" }
