This is one of our draft web badge created for Values Venture GBS competition.
Our theme is ' Drop the Mask '.
Question would then be why this theme?
Answer would then be each and everyone of us are original and can be original in our own ways. However, sometimes we have to cover up ourselves with another form of ourselves so that people would not be able to see the real-us.
Dropping the mask would mean to be who you are, whom you are created for to people. It declares a message of no longer we should fear how people look at us, but to be who we are original shaped and fashioned in.
More to come,
19th VV team.
Love us, Love our theme.
interesting idea :)
ReplyDeletewow. yes.. we all need to realise that we were made unique! don't want to come as originals and die as copies! =) keep it up.
ReplyDeletei agree with this!!totally!!=)its great!!sorry if i say so little,but i m serious haha its great!
ReplyDeleteWell done :) keep up the good work, and it's an interesting and apt theme for this generation.
ReplyDeleteIt's who I always want to be, and live my life in this manner (: Thanks for sharing this message with us!
ReplyDeleteI like the caption, as for the badge i think you can add a silhouette of a person with a hand looking as though he/she is tossing down the mask.. Overall its a great idea!
ReplyDeletenice! (: i like the meaning.
ReplyDeletei find it rather apt, dropping the mask and really being who I'm created to be, because each one of us is created unique! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! beginning transparent is what people fear and what others look for in friends.
ReplyDeletelike the theme! :D
ReplyDeletesimple, yet, is something really important that we should all know.
Wow, I agree totally! Speaking from experience,dropping that mask we unknowngingly don on is easier when we have people around us who genuinely love and accept us for our good and bad!
ReplyDelete*(^_^)*
Very generic. Which is good, because it applies to everyone!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea.
it's cool. guess alot of people is putting on a mask facing people. really need to remove it and be ourselves. (:
ReplyDeleteIts interesting! Mask create a burden, being real is the key man!
ReplyDeleteWow. Great idea, great design!=)
ReplyDeleteIt's simple yet packs a punch. Pretty thought-provoking, hahah I like this. Something I wouldn't mind buying.
ReplyDeleteYeah man! it's all about the real us. People everywhere wear masks in their daily life, it's time to take it down! We are already perfect as the Perfect One created us! (: Good job!
ReplyDeletecool cool! something simple, but so true. :)
ReplyDeletethe badge is a cool idea. so original! :)
ReplyDeleteand yeah i do agree that we gotta be real in whatever we do and not fake our way through.
you girls are great! :)
yea! be original, be who you are! :D
ReplyDeleteI think your theme is really cool! This happens to lot of people these days. Hope your theme will really 'wake up' these people. (:
ReplyDeleteIt's time to drop not only the masks but the acts as well! Nice work!
ReplyDeletei agree....i believe tat ppl ard the world wear mask everydae....so we should nt do this anymore....we should be ourselves!
ReplyDeleteYeah, very very true!! :) Nice theme!!:)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! great idea of having this!
ReplyDeletewe all need to be real and truthful to each other about being ourselves so that we can help each other.
COOLEST PEOPLE! Dont be copies, but ORIGINALS!!
ReplyDeletei guess this theme is awesome! too many a time, people have hid themselves behind a mask in fear of losing their friends and people's approval! be real.because loving is also accepting who you are as a person.=]
ReplyDeletevery true on that.
ReplyDeletegood write up on the post! [:
awesome stuff!
Hmm, this is a great theme and great answer to explain why you all chose this theme. I agree that we should be ourselves. Keep up the good work! :]
ReplyDeletegreat theme! great design. impressive :> keep it up!
ReplyDeleteyea, i would have to agree with the theme, great. :)
ReplyDeleteJG: hmm.. the badge is quite plain. maybe can add more things to it to make it more attractive. but the meaning is good
ReplyDeleteIt's great, especially for the way teens of our generation thinks. Although short, it's meaningful!
ReplyDeleteya it speak to us, its a great idea and design!:)))
ReplyDeletedropping the mask is not only showing who you truly are but also allowing yourself to be who you are meant to be. everyone is unique in their own way. great theme :D
ReplyDeleteEdward:
ReplyDeleteJeremiah 1:5a
"Before i formed you in the womb I knew you,Before you were born i set you apart.."
amazing idea.. God bless you guys
I think its an amazing message. Dropping the mask is something everybody can relate to.
ReplyDeleteGreat job :)
Yeah ! We should not be copies . We should be original 8) . We dont need to cover up . :D
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea !
Cool. a significant theme to be remembered ! :D
ReplyDeleteIts a great idea you have there. Keep on the good work! :D
ReplyDeleteAn interesting theme (: very applicable in today's society. Sometimes, all of us try very hard to put on masks that others will approve of. I believe, to be who you really are would remove the self consciousness in us too (:
ReplyDeleteThis is a meaning and interesting theme. We should believe in ourselves and not put on a mask when we are with people, everyone is unique in their own way :)
ReplyDeleteMeaningful and true! We should never put on a mask. =)
ReplyDeleteWe were all created unique and we are all meant to be unique. This theme goes to the very heart of originality; there is no need for us to hide behind a facade. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis theme is well choosen =DD
ReplyDeletebut in reality,it's really hard to be applicable as everyone is self conscious of every small little they do..
They're afraid that people will judge every of their single action..
But I believe you can do it =DD
Hmm, a really great idea of having this theme. (:
ReplyDeleteEveryone of us are original and can be unique in our own ways. It's very true & we should be in our true-selves to face others. (:
great theme!
ReplyDeleteit tells us to be our real selves than living with such a heavy burden.
nice one!
Very good idea. The message needs to get out, we are not interested to see masked individuals but real individuals who are not afraid to reveal whats within them.
ReplyDeleteyea. and i just did something today tt totally makes me, ME. =)
ReplyDeleteMask, a dual personality? a protective layer? well the idea is really good to be frank as we will reveal who we actually are. The world should be simple by rite, but too much masks have complicate it let bring back the world to what it original should be and meant to be. For the badge its good but there still room for improvement =)
ReplyDeleteIts quite encouraging. The idea is there but its quite hard to just make people drop their mask by just having it. But anyway, at least it reminds people that they got to be who they are and not act. :)
ReplyDeleteLets all stay true to ourselves!
I find that this idea is fresh and that it is indeed meaningful, as the idea is very relevant to each and everyone of us. I personally agree with the whole theme of 'drop the mask', everyone is created for a purpose so what for pretend to be somebody you're not(:
ReplyDeletePS: Add oil in all your future post:D &&& awesome blog/post!(:
Born an original and die as one too!dont die a copy! So right..Being yrself and not hiding is then how u can truly shine! (:
ReplyDelete(: . Nice one.
ReplyDeleteKeeping a mask on would be mainly for protection. Taking it off would mean that people admire you for who you really are and not what you perceive yourself to be.
ReplyDeleteGreat, insightful theme :)
great meanings to the theme. :D
ReplyDeleteseeing the theme makes me think:
ReplyDeleteGod handmade us personally to be unique individuals and not of the world.yet many ppl put on a mask to be accepted, fearing that after stripping off the mask insecurity and rejection is all we feel.But God made us in his own image.what's there to be afraid of showing?:D!!!!
It quite true. The people in the world are wearing masks, due to peer pressure and many other things. Its time to drop it and step up our life for God.
ReplyDeletebright idea, apt for this season of "masks". it's time to drop that facade and be real. going to God as who we really are, and living our lives as real people/christians and not christians hiding under a cover. we're created to be witnesses for Christ, not undercover agents. =)
ReplyDeleteAgree w/ this & also nice picture you got there :D !
ReplyDeleteIts amazing.. I mean..this is the problem I'm facing.. lol.. and I really feel tat we shld Drop the mask.. even though its really hard when we have been putting it on for so long.. =) I'm trying to take mine off too..Great Idea=)
ReplyDeletecoollllllll
ReplyDeletecoooolllll
ReplyDeletewe should really drop the mask hahas
ReplyDeleteYa, people cover their true faces too much nowadays. But it's kind of hard for many, because they lack confidence in themselves. But it's a great idea. =)
ReplyDeleteYea people tend to be attracted to people whom they feel or know are honest with their stuffs.
ReplyDeleteer,
ReplyDeletepersonally think that the mask instead of the words shld be in the centre,
also, maybe can try having a 3D mask, with shadow casted. It'll look nicer ? hah,
2 cents!
Good idea. But the badge is abit plain.
ReplyDeleteGreat concept! :)
ReplyDeletei like the idea, very meaningful :)
ReplyDelete-cheryl
Love it! (Y)
ReplyDeleteIn this judgmental society, it has impelled people to put on a "mask" reflexively in their subconscious mind.
ReplyDeleteA theme to create awareness of oneself. Nice.
I really agree to this idea!:D great caption, short and sweet.
ReplyDeleteYes I think this is really true, we need to learn to be more open with our thoughts to the rest! This is definitely meaningful.
ReplyDeletecelestine u dunno.. er i think it's ok. im sure people know about themselves and when they put on masks. but ya, this is a good way to stir awareness and help them to remind themselves to BE THEMSELVES
ReplyDeleteinteresting.
ReplyDeleteShawn Ong
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. yeap i totally agree. cheers.
nice theme chosen! keep up the great job! cheers! really reminds us how we should face each and every day of our lives
ReplyDeleteWow!! well said!! "Drop our mask!!"
ReplyDeletethis is me..lolX)
let's drop our mask from now!!!guys....
ReplyDeleteDROP THE MASK!a great theme(: we should be ourself everyday!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was some sort of cookie,lol(: Really interesting!:D
ReplyDelete(L) it!
i find the idea refreshing and it serves the purpose too! keep it up yo! :D cool mask u got there on the badge! :D
ReplyDeletegives a whole new idea of being original. =D
ReplyDeletemmhmm. good reminder for us to be ourselves everyday and not try to be someone we are not(:
ReplyDeleteI think it's realy meaningful ans serves as a reminder for everyone because all of us do have days when we're not ourselves.
ReplyDeleteDropping the mask is very cool:)
ReplyDeleteGod created everyone of us uniquely.
There will only be one YOU.
Be Yourself, You are Unique!!!
Very true, and VERY VERY well written (: Everyone should be distinct as an individual, with their own unique styles and personalities. We should all show who we really are, inside and out. Everyone's beautiful no matter how they look, and we should all acknowledge that fact. I believe this is indisputably a theme of great significance, not only to me, but to every single person out there as well :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!:D Was really interesting:D:D
ReplyDeletenice idea.but wouldn't it help to have a mask on sometimes?for example in important meetings or such.wouldn't want to make a fool out of yourself there huh.
ReplyDeletebut nice idea to remind us to stay true to ourselves :)
I think it's good to emphasize that we act naturally.One need not put on a mask just to fit in.We all know that every person is created in God's image.We should be proud of ourselves and there's really nothing to hide
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea! It reminds all of us not to worry about how the world looks at us. The important thing is gaining acceptance from God and not the world. :)
ReplyDeleteyea. we are own made uniquely by God. So there's ntg really to hide since we are all different and special in our own ways. awesome theme^^
ReplyDeleteNice, putting on a mask will make you lose yourself sometimes. SHED IT GIRLS!
ReplyDeleteI think its very interesting and meaningful that we start representing ourselves as unique individuals with our own distinct personalities, instead of putting on personas due to influences that may affect us. Keep it up, If everyone is true to themselves I believe it also makes them become more sincere to other people as well
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Dropping the mask to reveal the genuine identity inside. :]
ReplyDeleteIt's simple, yet thought-provoking, awesome idea! =) we tend to seek approval from the world rather than God, be someone who isn't real to gain acceptance. When all we need to do it, just be yourself! people will come to love the true colours of you, when you drop your mask. Keep the creative ideas going! =)
ReplyDeleteFacades, facades. It's great to shine from the inside :D
ReplyDeleteInteresting.. A goal pursued by many yet none succeeds, thing is - if you're all transparent and opened up then you're probably not humane at all.
ReplyDeleteWell said!
ReplyDeleteDrop the mask and be real; for what matters is what's behind the facade. =)
Cool. Has Really Interesting & Meaningful
ReplyDeleteVery meaningful! Good job! :D
ReplyDeleteIT is meaningful and it can help us in our life
ReplyDeleteWoo. Nice! :)
ReplyDeleteI think its great.
True and meaningful. :D
it is so true:D
ReplyDeleteeveryone wears a masks to fit in. but in fact we all should just take off our masks and be who we really are:D
Hahaha. Very good message! (:
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteYupp, we should drop our mask . Everything about us is created in a unique way, so instead of covering our true self up, why not, show others our unique-ness then putting a mask & fit into it, :D .
ReplyDeletecool:)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Go ahead and carry it out :)
ReplyDeleteinteresting and absolutely true. Be who u truly are for God made us all unique:D!
ReplyDeleteyea... agreed with the idea and concept.. no harm trying =)
ReplyDeleteInteresting and cool.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if every1 could drop their mask and show their true self. :)
i love the theme very much! very straightforward and bring the message across of what teenagers faces and even in the society. this is something that everyone got to recongnise it! brillant! :)
ReplyDeletenice one! i like the orange. haha.
ReplyDeleteI think this idea is really interesting and cool! The theme fits in really well!
ReplyDeletewooo! be yourself huh? fantasticc!! more more... >.<
ReplyDeleteNice theme!i HATE to hide behind a mask.. haha.
ReplyDeletegood idea :)
ReplyDelete"sometimes we have to cover up ourselves with another form of ourselves so that people would not be able to see the real-us. "
ReplyDeletethis is so true. hahaha, interesting!!
This is a nice and simple badge.A simple and nice badge like this speaks alot.The message is very straightforward.Good job people!(;
ReplyDeleteyep, that definitely helps to serve as a reminder. we are fearfully and wonderfully made :D
ReplyDeletei think the theme is really interesting! It brings up what people are doing now and it needs to be change.The badge is nice, especially the colour orange being used, brings out something fresh. just like a new start, a new beginning!
ReplyDeleteInteresting badge!It says alot to me.We should be real and drop the mask that we are wearing.Be real to everyone.Be who you are and not a person with mask.
ReplyDeletemost superheroes wears a mask. but underneathe it is the real person whom they all want to be. take spiderman for an example. didnt he felt more pride in who he was after the whole town saw his face? no one despised but they all gave him the strength to carry on what he was doing---saving lives. we cant exactly climb walls. but i sure know we can change lives by being our true selfs =)
ReplyDeletenice badge, and yes.. be who we are..
ReplyDeleteA great idea! I totally agree that most of us are very self conscious of what others think of us. As such, we either hold back on our behaviours or try to be someone else. Lets be brave, more open, and just be ourselves. Not everyone may like who you are, but when you find those like you, its like being in a family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to start the third world war. Ha Ha Ha. I'll go to office tomorrow and tell my boss he's a clown.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea :) some ppl goes around trying to mix into the group thier frens are in by "wearing a mask" this can just allow them to be themselves and let others accept them :D
ReplyDeleteWOW!!GOOD JOB!!This is really very good way to convey a message to others.Never be a hypocrite.Be really who you are.wherever you go, you are still the same.
ReplyDeleteIts amazing that the design and colour of the badge looks cool,especially the the design of the mask and the colour orange.Its like starting a new life from the beginning.Lets face the fact,god give us a face so lets not ruin it by putting a mask on your face unless you want to be a mysterious person.Lets be original,be who we are.Keep up the good work.Support all the way.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Theme and awesome message!=)
ReplyDeleteDrop the mask! Cause it never lasts!
ReplyDeleteIndeed a powerful catchphrase to inspire youths!
Wow!! it's really a great way of letting others be aware that they do not need to put on masks and face others. just be original... be who God has intended for us to be. it really suits the theme and it's a topis that's really applicable for many people.
ReplyDeleteNot bad! All the best :)
ReplyDeleteThere's no need to hide who we are. We are God's wonderful creation so let's all be real! :)
ReplyDeletenice theme there! :D keep up the good work. let's not wear the mask and face life!
ReplyDeletethat sounds really good good.! being true to who you are.! (:
ReplyDeleteGreat theme! We shld all have confidence in who God made us to be!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't the world be a happier place if this could be attained? :) Alas, in this dog-eat-dog world, a facade is sometimes important to get ahead on the corporate ladder.
ReplyDeleteI like! :)
ReplyDeletegood job! be real!
ReplyDeleteinteresting idea (:
ReplyDeleteYea! be ourself. live happily with no worries :D
ReplyDeleteThumbs UP! :D
very interesting and inspirational
ReplyDeleteLol, i like the badge design. simple yet convey the msg across. It jus like a reminder of what my teacher used to say, be yourself; be who u are. :)
ReplyDeleteNice job!
Stay true to urself. How many actually did that? very inspiring. Jus a suggestion, perhaps the mask can do a lil shading. since this is like a draft badge, the orange got a little shadow, i think mask should at least have some shading, so it is not so "flat-looking".
ReplyDeletebe who u are, no point in hiding behind the mask that tries to cover up. nice theme chosen!
ReplyDeleteGreat concept. I agree with Lester. The image should depict more about dropping the mask instead of a simple image of a facial mask.
ReplyDeleteWow. This is just like a used-me in the past. Always acting and putting a mask on infront of all, jus to please them. Thank God, thru a close fren of mine, i changed for the best.
ReplyDeleteThen when passing by this blog, all i can say is that this is very inspiring to the ppl out there, still having the 'mask' on. Time to drop it!=) when is the "more to come"? (^,^)
reallt intriguing idea and concept... you'll be surprised how many people are wearing 'masks' in front of friends too... sometimes to let them feel that they have more stuff in common...
ReplyDeletebe yourself(:
ReplyDeletegood job!(:

ReplyDeletethis is great!
ReplyDeleteim not sure about the rest, but i do think you girls are doing a great job. keep it up!
aesthetically it looks great being simple...but was expecting to read more...
ReplyDeleteThe worldly way is to self protect ourselves by putting mask to prevent hurting. However, if only everyone is to be true to each other, no scheming plot, there would be less hatred in the world. Why not put that mask down and treat others by your real self.
ReplyDeleteGreat theme there!It is always so difficult to drop the mask in a world like today. Masking from disappoints, hurts etc.. We should be proud to be who we really are and not pretend to be someone that others wants/expects us to be.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's the reason why people are so cynical towards each other. There's a need for "mask" to hide our inferiority, jealousy and other hidden motives that we might have. The only way to eradicate the need for "mask" is to experience the love of God.
ReplyDeleteits collectively a catchy phrase. drop the mask. so true. sometimes we're too caught up in pleasing others that made us completely who we really are in the inside. instead, we should realise that the only one we need to please was just God. goodjob!
ReplyDeleteYeah, i think this is a good post, we should all be original :D
ReplyDeletenice theme.people nowadays tend to put on masks..where they think that nobody else can hurt them even more now,but in actual fact they are hurting themselves in some way or another.it's painful on the inside to wear a mask.GOD created us as originals.each of us special in every way.there is no need to wear any mask.
ReplyDeleteIts a original idea, to live YOUR OWN life. Throw away all the pretence put up infront of your friend, be bare, free to speak and then, love youself.
ReplyDeleteexcellent theme,
ReplyDeleteesp for this generation... and the 'distance' we put in between us and others cos' of (understandable) fears.
GOOD ONE! *THUMBSUP* simple design, straight to the pt too.
The caption is good, the idea is good, simple badge design, but the badge can be better.
ReplyDeletea good theme.. but badge is to plain...
ReplyDeleteeveryone put on a mask. Its a good one that we need to put it down!
ReplyDeleteliving who you are suppose to be, no need for hiding behind that mask which will fade away eventually.
ReplyDeletedrop that mask on the floor, show and be who you really are! nice job!
ReplyDeletesomething that really speaks to our generation, where many are hidden behind that mask, being who others expect them to be! nice!
ReplyDeletei like the theme! great job. and nice badge you have got there, simple and sweet!
ReplyDeleteawesome! nice post and great theme.
ReplyDeleteI find that this post very meaningful,it allows me to think more about topic.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful post,nice theme and i think this post is very unique...Ganbatte(jia you)..
ReplyDeleteHello. wow, this is very true. i think nowadays people need to be original but not just follow others and be "copies" in the ends
ReplyDeleteYes, very good post... i really think people should think about what they are doing and make changes to be REALLY ORIGINAL.. Thanks for sharing BTW
ReplyDeleteYEs, we are born original and should not die copies to this world, :D
ReplyDeletethis is a very nice post keep it up(=
ReplyDeletehi. this is a great post man. People should be true to themselves and be proud of being original and unique... GREAT MAN!. LOVE THIS POST
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a great post! People, drop your mask! Be original!
ReplyDeletejoel
ReplyDeletethis is good post. it truely refects the youth of today always hidingehind that mask.. indeed we should be ourself and be unique instead of being hypocritical. keep up!!!
I wear my mask in the past, realling now, think that's not the real me. Now i feel relax and happier when i am behaving in my own ways, it's weird sometimes, but as long as you like it that way then it's great.
ReplyDeleteI have many mask awaiting me to DROP!!!
That's cool (:
ReplyDeleteYep each and every one of us are unique.
The message behind it is alright. Not the first of its kind, but significant nontheless.
ReplyDeleteHowever the badge's design is going to need a whole lot more of improvement...
Can we really drop our mask down??
ReplyDeleteIt's true that it's time for us to drop the mask! I don't want to be a fake me in front of everyone but I want to be my true self. (:
ReplyDeleteYes, we're unique! a song reminds me of this.. ''i see your true colours shining through..'' why hide our true colours? be ourselves and living for ourselves are very important.. Love this! u guys did a great job ^^ thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteTo Chris: We can if we dont hide our true identity.:)
ReplyDeleteI love the post very much..it is very unique and interesting. THe post is very true! we are of our own!
ReplyDeletewell said. be who you are is the best thing. no point acting in front of someone and feel uneasy about that..
ReplyDeleteHi !!!
ReplyDeleteHey! i like it=) it nice
ReplyDeleteGood job : )
ReplyDeletenice(:
ReplyDeleteawesome one. all the way 19th GB girls!
ReplyDeleteSometimes even for myself, I have been putting on a mask too. Great idea to be brought up.
ReplyDeleteWoah Awesome! Great concept for value venture. Very apt in today's world where our teens are all facing issue of self-esteem and all...
ReplyDeleteBe real! Jia you!
ReplyDeletegoood ! jiayou :D
ReplyDeleteyeh, good theme
