Dumbest idea yet.

Other people have tried it, and it ceates an outrage because no-one owns the sky, it makes life impossible for astonomers and is poluting by wasting energy.

Here is an example:
http://www.ags.dk/as/sky.htm

In the city of Sonderborg, Denmark, a local high tech company applied a computer controlled long range searchlight beam in short periods, without any public warning.

As a result, the local newspaper gave strange eye witness reports: People claimed to have seen a real UFO!

The searchlight was put on all night long and gave the owner what he wanted, public attention. "Before this action, nobody knew our company. Now everyone knows who and where we are..." The beam was on for fifty nights before actions were made to stop it: Do protests help? Does it help to fight? The answer is YES !

Several associations and private people protested, and the green-minded city of Sonderborg in 1995 put a local ban on this kind of commercials as one of the first towns in Denmark. Several companies tried to evade the city ban protesting against the local ban. A local Disco mounted a new projector in 1996, and the combined searchlights were able to draw a UFO symbol on the sky.

After 3 days it was stopped by the authorities after several citizen protests.

Excuse me if I see unsympathetic but light polution is a massive problem world-wide.

"Due to the excess of public and private lighting, it is more and more difficult to find places, in our province, where the dark is such to allow an adequate vision of the celestial vault: on average only 10% of stars are by now visible on the territory, especially in the greater centres. We remain therefore deprived of the biggest natural show: the observation of the universe! Uncontrolled wide-spreading of light pollution constitutes an unjustified energy waste, an alteration of the equilibrium of the ecosystem and an impediment, de facto, to the observation of the sky.

At the Conference of Paris, in June 1992, the UNESCO evidenced the enormous damage brought to astronomy by an excessive artificial illumination and declared the starry sky “Patrimony of the mankind”, to be protected for the future generations"

Just imagine a world where every section of the sky was covered by logo's McDonalds,Nike, Sony, Ford etc. It would be a hell on earth

Lasers are faaaaaaaar too inefficient for a club going green. They consume far more electricity than any light, and are incredibly expensive to produce at that size. In fact, I'm unaware of a laser (I've been out of th club/rave scene for years now!) that would be powerful enough to projetct in the sky, a building definitely, but the sky???

There are companies which specialise in laser projections on clouds/buildings etc.

You sure about the electricity consumption?

And you shouldn't need powerful lasers to project into the sky, as opposed to lights, because you're reflecting off smoke or clouds.

I reckon every time we win we should abduct a street walker and carve the cfc into her stomach, and then write JUDD in blood on a nearby wall.

I was thinking about ways to promote the blues and capture the imagination of many fans....

Something different and truely unique that no club has done, maybe even internationaly.

The idea is related to when we win games of footy and ways of promoting these wins.

The Idea is a Giant Carlton monogram for all to see...........In the sky!

Just like the batman spotlight seen in the shows/movies.

I don't know what running costs would be worth, or if it goes against green house emmisions, and our going green.


Just thought it would be good to promote Carlton wins in some unique ways.

Any ideas?
