Idea for Recruitment

[JazzyC]

I don't think many will think it is religious.  We'll be a a gaming convention, no doubt wearing some gaming related clothing and generally not looking all too religious (and I mean no disrespect to those here who are).  Just people go on what you are wearing and doing and make assumptions.  Furthermore, there is nothing on the card to add to the religious aspect.  I mean, unless you're going to argue I might be trying to set-up a religious cult/sect with it's own symbols and beliefs.

I think the "Are You An Angel?" fits with FA and TOR because, as mentioned, it was in the films and is used as our origin story.  Also, I believe that line is used in one or more of our trailers.

Could also put above the logo "The Old Republic" that way everyone knows it is game related

As for putting in the Old Republic logo, you are going to have issues with people thinking it is officially sanctioned by Bioware and alike.  Could cause a heap of problems.  Also, that image is probably copyrighted too.  Therefore, we would be left with making our own or just having some writing on there saying it is in relation to TOR.  Personally, I think that would take away from the mystique of the card.  Effectively, you've given them clues as to what this is all about, before they've even scanned the QR and took the challenge.
I would also like to think people would use their common sense a little.  I can't vouch for other conventions like GamesCom/PAX/ComicCon, but I would assume that (like Eurogamer) the pamphlets and stuff given out at these places are often within the theme of what the convention is.  Therefore, I would hope most people would realise it is gaming related due to the fact everything else they've encountered there has been gaming related.

I guess you could argue that it would mean we would have some people completing the challenge who have no interest in TOR.  But, I would argue that, with affiliating it with TOR and leaving other clues on the card, you would actually get some people who are into TOR, who would dismiss it out of hand because they've worked out it is a recruitment drive.

"Another idea"

Are you an Angel?

LOGO

Is it time for you to ascend?

I would argue that this too could be seen as religious.

How about the Galactic Republic logo on it somehow, as well as the FA logo?
Would help link to SWTOR and also show which side we are on

I don't think you should worry too much about seeming "religious."  Sure, some people may think you're recruiting for a religion, and there's a word for those people: idiots.  You're at a gaming convention, for goodness sake!

I don't think there's anything inherently religious with the phrase "Are you an Angel?" and I actually work at a church.
Our target audience will "get it," and the others won't.  If anyone is confused, you can just explain to them that it's for a game.  Not that hard, right?

By the way, I totally dig the cards.  I hope the idea pays off.

Given the several republic insignia, I think I've used the right one.

I added it to the back so as not to confuse the front.



Price will stay the same though.

that image host is failing hardcore.  

Let me introduce you to http://imgur.com and all of it's awesome sauce.

[JazzyC]

image host works fine for me.

I would upload to your above link, but that's failing hardcore for me.

[Ghisteslwchlohm]

The image works just fine fore me. Likwid I think your internet is throwing a temper tantrum.

Haha, it fails for me at work because it's blocked as "porn".

Could be.  That imagebam site was just cluttered and slow to load.  Imgur is easy peasy drag and drop, super fast plus has an awesome chrome plugin.

Just trying to spread the joy.
