This is a great suggestion. As you mentioned it gives exposure to our host, and it also removes at least some of the burden to come up with the videos.

I am really more of a cheer section but I know you’ll get volunteers because right now we’re down… and when we’re down, that’s when the brave step up to the call. And someone is going to step up to the call because Boomers are not afraid!! Let’s go BOOMERS!!! YAAAAYYYYY!!

I’m thinking of a white/orange cotton string…something Boomer-related for a name…something to do with Psyllium Husk…

I’ll play around with some sticker ideas, though if anyone else has a good idea, let me know!

A play on retro butterfly graphics with some small text about Fixed Axle February that goes along the circumference sounds pretty cool to me.

I always really like this graphic:

 ![IMG_4001](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/e/9/3e9b631a3d23aec478fb5617384d8a99651b0b1d.jpeg)

Imagining that but in halo with some FAF insignia sounds pretty sweet.

Edit: I’ll also say, if you sold Yoyo Boomers Club butterfly cap stickers on your shop, I’d totally buy some.

Butterflies can be a bit inconsistent. Check for a knot near the base. Check the string torsion. If loosening string torsion doesn’t work, you can wedge the gap open a little bit. I use two pennies to set the gap, but if you wanted less response you could use a nickel and a penny.

Also if you haven’t tried thinner string yet, you may get good results from that.

Had some time to kill before leaving work. Didn’t have the Duncan font, but this one looked alright.

Can we hide a “YYBC 24” in there anywhere?

Needs a 2024 in there no matter what.

Ya totally! I split from the office but I imagine the 2024 goes under the February, double spaced in the same font. And the YYBC could be cool in a small courier sorta font going along the inside edge of a lower wing or the bottom center triangle.

Just brainstorming here also by the way. Not trying to dominate any creative direction. Only thinking out loud and had some extra time at work so I decided to toss that together.

Just my 2¢ but it does look a bit too clean and clip arty. I think what makes the current butterfly logo as well as the vintage ones more unique is the fill in the butterfly. It’s less of an outline and more of a stencil.

Can you try flipping the Boomer Yoyo Logo so that the Logos form the Antenae? Maybe a tad smaller, but could be a neat easter egg. Those in the club would know, but others may overlook it.
