Ribbons -- vote the top five!

So here are our ribbon options; vote for your top five. Keep in mind that we want to go for both variety and interest, and that some of these will have a longer projected 'shelf life' than others (as, well, the ones with release dates are only really good through WorldCon). Adding a 'fun' ribbon or two will make people more likely to take the more obviously promotional ones. Psychology is fun!

Many of these would be/will be split onto two lines.

Poll #1367641 Ribbons!

What are your top ribbon choices?

I'd have voted for "Rosemary for Remembrance" as well if it had an "is" after "rosemary." The associations I have with that phrase keep it from sounding right as is.
That makes sense.
I'd throw money at you to help defray the cost of the press pass one.
Iiiiiiiiinteresting.
This year, October comes early.
This makes me think, "I thought October only comes once a year."
Poor October! What's she done to deserve that???

Well, her prospects have been sort of slim lately...

That makes sense, although right now, I also want at least one dated ribbon.

I didn't even vote for mine, but apparently people like it? I like the press pass idea better than the motto, but maybe that is just because I am that kind of crazy fangirl? Perhaps After the End Times would make a better ribbon for next year WHEN THE BOOK IS COMING OUT, as I am sure it will be.
Oh, it will be. Trust me.

"Lab coats are sexier with corsets. Red Roses and Dead Things."

Or, conversely, "Corsets are sexier with lab coats"

Those are my suggestions. I wish I were coming!

ETA: Or maybe "Romance is dead, and coming back for seconds."




...I'm a little sleep-deprived.
These make me unhealthily happy. Just so's you know.

I really really like Pretty Little Dead Girl. But I didn't vote for it because it removes a large segment of the population from the get-go due to the reference to gender. I think that would tend to be a result, anyway.
That's fair!
Oh, I don't know about that. Speaking as a big, ugly, man doll, I can tell you that most guys who are going to this kind of con (and who read our kinds of books) won't be bothered for an instant about the gender reference. We'll get the ribbons for ourselves, our girlfriends, boyfriends, or sisters. Or, in my case, daughters. Who doesn't love a pretty little dead girl?
It was my top pick!
"Rue The Day" is my very favorite of the Toby ones.

I want all the Newsflesh ones. (Mostly, I want all the Newsflesh books. I can haz zombies now?) Of the Newsflesh ones, I think the press pass is my favorite, though the "Rise up while you can" one runs a very close second. :-)
We're working on getting them to you, promise!
Just remember - 22 characters per line, 2 lines per ribbon. Some of these would need TWO ribbons, nut just two lines.
I know! I shall be a good girl and sit down with actual typesetting when the poll closes.
I just wanted to put down, in writing, my suggestions for the Toby ribbon colors: deep red with shiny copper lettering.
Thaaaaaaaaank you.
I *REALLY* do not like "October comes early." Chiefly because of the obvious hur hur hur sexual pun. (Reminiscent of the Bond film with a Bond Girl named Christmas; gives me flashback to Pierce Brosnan saying "I thought Christmas only came once a year!" Ugh. *bad shudder*)
What's really tragic here is that I genuinely DID NOT GET the terrible sexual pun until people started pointing it out to me. I hate you all. FYI.
