Instead of "Scotch Tape" suppose they used just "ST" and instead of "Band-Aid" they used "BA" They certainly would not have brand recognition with just the letters.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431833747498_3395"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431833747498_3320">GOP needs initials to represent Grand Old Party. In ND we use DFL to stand for Democratic Farmer Labor Party.. But for Libertarian, we have just one word, and that one word is simple enough we do not need to abbreviate it (except to shorten it to say "Liberty"). Replacing Libertarian with LP just causes more voter confusion. Remember KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid. So, please stay away from just letters. We already have too many being used in our party communications that just turns off non-insiders and often causes un-noticed confusion. . </div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431833747498_3320"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431833747498_3320">Maybe instead we need to pick out an animal to represent use.

As I have been saying for some time know, “LP” should be our brand and we should seek to make it as well known as “GOP”. Our logo should be a stylized (therefore trademarkable) “LP”. We could then use the trademarked logo to identify our materials as genuine, and still push “LP” as our brand. The goal is to make “LP” a brand with the same _<i>level of</i> <i>recognition</i>_ as “Scotch Tape” or “Band-Aid”.<u></u><u></u></span></div><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431833747498_3871"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-size:11pt;"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-size:11pt;">Norm<u></u><u></u></span></div><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431833747498_3872"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-size:11pt;">--<u></u><u></u></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431833747498_3874"><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-size:11pt;">Norman T Olsen<u></u><u></u></span></div><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431833747498_3873"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-size:11pt;">Regional Representative, Region 1<u></u><u></u></span></div><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-size:11pt;">Libertarian National Committee<u></u><u></u></span></div><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-size:11pt;">7931 South Broadway, PMB 102<u></u><u></u></span></div><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-size:11pt;">Littleton, CO 80122-2710<u></u><u></u></span></div><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-size:11pt;"><a rel="nofollow" href="">303-263-4995</a><u></u><u></u></span></div></div><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-size:11pt;"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div><div style="border-width:1pt medium medium;border-style:solid none none;border-color:rgb(181,196,223) currentColor currentColor;padding:3pt 0in 0in;"><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;">From:</span></b><span style="color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;"> Lnc-business [mailto:<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:lnc-business-bounces@hq.lp.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:lnc-business-bounces@hq.lp.org">lnc-business-bounces@hq.lp.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Wes Benedict<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, May 12, 2015 1:35 PM<br><b>To:</b> <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:lnc-business@hq.lp.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:lnc-business@hq.lp.org">lnc-business@hq.lp.org</a><br><b>Subject:</b> [Lnc-business] round LP sticker<u></u><u></u></span></div></div></div><div><div class="yiv0656100112h5"><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></div><div class="yiv0656100112MsoNormal">I've been asked to offer a small round sticker a few times over the years--we've offered a few in the past.
