Hi,
Since we're thinking about printing posters soon after the filing
deadline, we should put more thought into a color theme for the
updated website, buttons, posters, and campaign logo.
Personally, I don't really like green too much as a poster color
for Green candidates--it doesn't stand out well. I thought some of the
best posters I've seen were these from Matt Gonzalez, with a
"yellow/gold boxes" theme:

and also these from Ross Mirkarimi's supervisorial campaign,
with an "orange ball" theme:

Some bright colors, like gold, purple, red, or orange would work
better than green or blue, I think. Colors on posters tend to fade,
so it's important for both "Francisco Herrera" and the word "Mayor" to
stand out.
