Campaign Signs and Slogans


I have been trying to come up with something for my campaign sign.  You know the kind of thing.  It needs to have a name and a slogan on it so people will have increased name recognition when they walk in on election day to vote.
When I was in journalism school, I was pretty good at doing headlines.  You would be surprised at how particular newspapers are supposed to be when it comes to them.  Each letter and form of punctuation has a particular width.  You are supposed to try and get as close the actual width of the available space and have the most important detail presented in a sn interesting way.  I like punnery so it worked.  I just had to be careful about anything to "cute."
Anyway, I have been trying to come up with something.  I thought of tying it ino the idea of ABC's because of my name.  It seemed like a logical fit.  The problem was coming up with something that worked without too many words.
Here is what I came up with:

It's All ABCs
Aaron for Burrillville's Children!
What do you all think?
I also have to try and come up with a cool design using it for my lawn signs.

I like the slogan, but you've got the colors mixed up. If ABC coincides with A(aron), B(urrillville), and C(hildren), then the ABC should in the first line should match the ABC you're using in the second line. (The other words can be a different color.) I like the red and blue (rather patriotic there), but what does Burrillville have for school colors? If the colors do not include the red and blue combo, you can use whatever colors match the town.

Good one. but why have you put it's all and the s in red? that's a bit distracting. How about:
It's as simple as ABC Aaron etc. . Do you think everyone who votes knows Aaron is also Coutu? I wonder if we can think of something with a B that could go between Aaron and Coutu? Meanwhile... pretty damned good.
