Seems to have been a small typesetting error on this one.

This is a stitch up.

Whilst I wouldn’t put it past their levels of ineptitude, this must surely be a wind up.

( deeply hoping it’s not) 🙂 

Bill Fraser

Brilliant, absolutely love it 😀

MajorBloodnok

Whoops!

Elizabeth

ha ha ha brilliant!

Marcia

Took me a few seconds before the penny dropped!

Morag

OK.  Penny finally dropped.  (I’m a bit slow on the uptake….)

Bwahahahaha!  Please tell me that’s real?  (Though I suppose it’s just a joke,)

Ysabelle

‘You cock’?

Seriously, is this a joke? If so,

KOKUP 

Morag

Ysabelle, I think you’re supposed to leave it for people to figure out for themselves!

Ysabelle

That should read, ‘If not,

KOKUP’

#TypographersForIndependence.

Ysabelle

Morag,

Sorry! But I’d still like to know if it’s for real or not! 

naebd

Obviously not.

Richie

I don’t think this is a joke. I seem to remember something like this on the better together site a while back. Of course I could be horribly wrong. I’ll have a wee look through the web and find out.
Can you confirm it one way or another Stu? 

Jeannie

Oh…that’s good!

Raineach

Sadly, as actually seen at Ibrox, tho’ the double entendre had not occured to me before

Richie

It might be this I remembered but I’ll keep looking

Edit.
I found this

Keith B

No spoof. Ladies, why not try and win a t-shirt that says what you really think about that special someone;

Cameron B

 
The production is so shoddy that it is obviously a spoof.

Richie

Shit, sorry for that messy link Stu. I tried to edit it but it wouldn’t work. It’s similar to Keith B’s post, so none taken if you delete it  🙂

mogabee

Bless ’em…… they aren’t that bright!

Cameron B

 
 
The t-shirts are genuine, but the pic above has been fiddled with. The kerning, or space between the U and the K, has been increased. The background fill (white) is also incomplete. Sorry to be a spoil sport, but either I’m correct or someone in the BT camp will surely be made to stand in the naughty corner for a very long time. Possibly until 2014.

cath

Took a moment for the penny to drop here too but love it. The UKOK slogan is certainly a real BT one. I’m guessing the “thinking of voting no” has been photoshopped on?

Stewart Bremner

@Richie
I had no idea that on social photo sharing site Blipfoto, the No people had/have a journal. And look – the comments are switched off! It’s almost as if they don’t want to have a conversation.

scottish_skier

I rather liked this flashy [Better Together] number.

Got the whole red, white and blue thing going for it too! 

Gayle

hahahahaha priceless. 

Cameron B

 
I did say sorry for being a spoil sport. 🙂

Luigi

Another BT Kok-up. Classic.

ianbrotherhood

Don’t know why (maybe the colours) but it reminds me of seeing a guy in the shopping mall wearing an enormous Rangers top with ‘We Don’t Do Walking Away’ embossed in the proper lettering – must’ve cost a fortune. But it was on the back of the shirt, so the only time anyone would ever see it? When he was walking away.

Matt

“Man alive, it’s hard to be a satirist these days.”

Bit of Poe’s Law in action there.

Davy

Its ahm, its kind of ?, its an interesting effort.

(what a bunch of dunderheads.)

TYRAN

U DARLING

Jeannie

@KeithB
I never thought I’d be looking forward so much to seeing people running around in Better Together t-shirts. That’s priceless.

Aucheorn

From the No site

Better Together are offering our supporters the chance to win one of 50 limited edition UKOK T-shirts.
 
After that just email us at info@bettertogether.net to be entered in to the draw for a fabulous UKOK T-Shirt

AnneDon

Normally, the UK is over the OK, so I hadn’t noticed the comic possibilities. Nice, though!

cath

“Limited edition of 50” Is that the number of their actual supporters?

Matt

So after months of waiting, we finally have it – the positive case for the Union!

It’s not a particularly enthusiastic case, but it is a positive case nonetheless: The UK is okay. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible either, it’s just okay. And it’s £1 a year cheaper, which is also okay.

Real or not its still funny,needs sharing give everybody a laugh,and it took me a few minutes to get it.

Jeannie

@Matt
Love it!

TYRAN

“How flattering. The British Tourism Authority’s new UKOK campaign uses exactly the same slogan that won our Rebranding Britain competition last May.”

“How extraordinary. But it could just go to show that there’s not too many ideas out there.” (Jan 2002)

Holebender

Oh dear, so it’s not even an original logo, it’s a rip off of a ripped off logo!

Cameron B

 
That is pretty much standard practice within the graphic design community. Not often as blatant as this example, but it should come as no surprise given the BT unwillingness to play by the EC’s rules and their propensity to tell the voting public whatever whapers they deem appropriate to their scare agenda.

Holebender

Didn’t they also rip off the music for their first video? Seems like a lot of copyright infringements going on. Is that what they mean by better together?
