Hello,
Donna Sarullo brought up a good point. Keep in mind the final logo will not have a background color; we will only be using the graphics for the printer. From the above, I personally like the 2nd and 3rd option.

Hi All, I tried posting before and the screen went wonky. I apologize for having to leave early last night but what was the consensus about the Super Hero theme? I guess I am the only one concerned that the AHA used CPR Heroes for their theme this month. With the logo and theme being so similar - the serious runners we hope to enlist not to mention the general public might get confused and think the MMP event and the AHA event are one and the same. Here are the dates for their Heart Walk 2014 in the area: Long Beach Sun, September 14 Rainbow Lagoon Park Santa Clarita Sat, September 20 Westfield Valencia Town Center Mall Santa Monica Sun, September 21 Santa Monica Pier Pasadena Sat, September 27 Pasadena Rose Bowl Antelope Valley Sat, October 11 Marie Kerr Park They've done a great media blitz with the "Hero" theme as well. Check out this youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rbI4VhsSz0A penny for your thoughts! Melanie |

The similarity in name couple with the dates in a bit distressing. Our event will be right in the same time frame and could cause confusion. Fortunately, we have no website or advertising materials yet, so it it not too late to change the theme. Do you have any ideas if we need to change the theme?

I think the there still works. We just need to play with the name. Some brainstorming:
MMP Capes and Tails 5k
MMP Halloween Preview 5k
MMP 5k Wag Race
MMP Costume 5k
Just a few....

Well, those provide a bit of a chuckle for the Anglophile in me... WAG is the media acronym for Wives and Girlfriends of a high profile sports figure... think Victoria Beckham. I've been thinking about this and from my research -apparently the themed 5K is "the new happy hour". Was everyone still in agreement about being pet and kid friendly? Looking at the Heart Race in various locations, it seems that a lot of them are having costumed super heroes to pose with.
That being said - color races - where each participant is sprinkled with color dust at different intervals of the race are popular. As are PJ races. And
"Run for Your Life Zombie" race... I was looking online for bulk capes - someone suggested we could have on site. Think about adding an additional $5 to cover the cost of a kid's cape.
This may or may not be good enough - but an Alice in Wonderland theme - Mad Hatters 5K?... or would running with a silly chapeau be too tiresome? There are a lot of characters. Or a Pirate Theme? Then again, wenches on the run, probably not... Am thinking... "Dog Gone Silly" or "Dog Gone Funny" - silly costumes - no specifics?

MMP Fall Frolic and Doggy Dash? A stylized woman - more carefree? Incorporating fall oranges and MMP pink/purple? The circle out being the path? Here are some clip art ideas as well as actual fall themed from runs. I think that the logo should be more energetic and have more FUN! ![]()  fallfrolic3 (2.96 KB) fallfrolic2 (5.64 KB) fallfrolic1 (9.17 KB) |

I researched and realized that the AHA Walk has no theme. It seems the CPR group created a team and used that name. If we pick the logo with the lady running, we should be okay. However, if people want to start using this theme, we should be the first to have it out there. More of a reason to pick a logo and launch the registration site as soon as possible…:-)
