Open letter to the new government



A new government means a new start.

In general, uniformity of design lacks on all different levels of the government. I’m not talking about the content, but only about the visual aspect. In order to appear as a united, well structured nation, the visual aspect has a big influence.

A strong appearance


First I’ll look to the newspapers. I notice MoD en MoFi have the same banner. The MoFa and Education and Culture share the same newspaper, Belgium.info, with a quite ugly banner. Other problem: There is a huge error in the spelling of the MoD banner. It says “Defentie” instead of “Defensie”. I think it’s unacceptable for official logos that contain such mistakes. As I mentioned in my previous article, I can only repair the spelling error if I have the original file of the banner with all its layers. But the man who made it left eRepublik. Question: Will other ministers get also their own newspapers?

Solution: All newspapers need same kind of banner. I’m willing to make new designs. Look at [url= http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/new-mod-banner-proposal-1625342/1/20]my previous article[/url] to see a prototype.

Secondly I’ll look to the officials. Suggestions circulate to have an identification mark on the avatar if you’re an official (congress, minister, country president). It doesn’t need to be something real fancy. Just a symbol in the corner of the avatar will do. In that way everyone can still use his/her own avatar. Again I’m willing to make some designs which we all can choose from.

Third category is the army. Same story as the officials. Notice, I suggest no different symbol for every rank. Why? It will become too bureaucratic to change it every time. It wouldn’t be efficient. Just a simple symbol will do.


If my ideas are generally accepted, I’ll start to design for each of the categories. I hope there will be more reaction on this article than on my previous (only 8 different people reacted). It’s all for the best of our country.

Misantopist, I know that you are trying to help but me personally, I like the current files used and the spelling mistake can be fixed by the owner of the files, of which I'm sure the government knows who that is. If you really want to help, you gotta make sure you can strive in graphic design, you understand where I'm getting?
