Zvuv I followed the thread and think for my money anyway that the best suggestion is “uNSaFe”. As the word “uNSaFe” is as and of itself perhaps not the easiest of images to recall, I think it needs a “surrogate image” such as the “Covair car” that was known back in the 1960’s as (Unsafe at any Speed). Perhaps even Donald Campbell’s water speedboat that killed him in 1967 could itself be used as the image. Another good image may be to use an image of an explosives expert defusing a bomb? or a baby putting it’s finger in an electrical plug socket or even an image of a baby suffocating with a plastic bag over its head?? I know the last image is particularly grotesque but it certainly brings the word “uNSaFe” to the forefront of my mind. eNCiPHer would also work although it uses a “C” as an “S” sound and a “PH” as an “F” sound. Unsafe also conjures up the thought of “uNSaFe” sex to me. For me, the best ‘image’ to get that message across, is two broken condoms (see slide below). Notice how I have also 'anthropomorphized the images of the condoms giving them both faces and arms. There is research that supports the idea that we tend to remember things with faces better than most other images. You could also make the graphic I’ve depicted below move or dance thus injecting ‘humour’ further into the situation to make it more memorable too? I choose not to do this as it may be construed by others in taking things a little too far? “uNSaFe” could also be an image of a train surfer or even a bungee jumper whose “rubber string” has broken. Lastly if you want to use a famous person then you could use the initials NSF to get Norris Stephen Falla whom you could google for further historical significance. Hope that helps?
