Game #1 in more detail.
Intention:
1) Start the game in the present day BEFORE The End Of The World.
2) Create characters suitable for the Morrow PROJECT in session zero.
3) Create several handouts for the players:
a) Personal invitation to Morrow Industries Recruitment Fair/open day/some sponsored event of interest to the player characters.
b) Morrow Industries brochure - who Morrow INDUSTRIES is, their business partners, their goals etc..
c) Travel documents (a Morrow Industries Lear jet will collect them at their nearest airport or 1st class air tickets supplied etc).
[The intention is to mail- yes MAIL these printed documents to the players after character generation but before session 1 starts-as a nice attention
grabber.]
4) Role playing characters from the initial approach by Morrow Industries, through to cryogenic suspension, then into the game proper.
The idea of the recruitment fair/seminar etc is a cover so that the new candidates for Morrow PROJECT can be interviewed "in plain sight" whilst real interviews for Morrow Industries job candidates goes on in the background.
This will be to introduce them to Morrow INDUSTRIES, and go through something like the recruitment section from v4 rules, pp10-15, the "The Offer" & "Graduation Day" pp21+
Once orientation is complete, security/background/health checks finalised etc, and all legal forms signed, they will be introduced to the Morrow Project and its real goals.
They will follow Morrow PROJECT orientation, training and testing (involving skill rolls to allow the players to familiarise themselves with their characters abilities).
* Maybe one or more of the characters could be approached by the Feds to spy on the project for them.
What I need to prepare:
Handouts -
invitation letter
Morrow Industries stationary/letterhead
Morrow Industries Brochure
This will be the usual style of corporate "this is who we are, this is what we do" brochure. I thought to incorporate partner company logos like the ones used on the site linked to in Matt W's "front companies" thread here:

[a promo video would be even better - lol]
I tweeted Timeline Ltd regarding any "offical" Morrow Industries Corporate styling etc, but none had been created - never been needed before. They did mention that a design for the company logo had been mooted, probably featuring a globe since MI is a global endeavour.
Since I have too much time on my hands, as well as floor plans I am currently building a 3d model of a suitable office complex/conference building just for the hell of it, as well as a few boltholes etc. Just because I can lol.
So for all of this I am looking for ideas for Corporate Colours for Morrow Industries, and a logo, and maybe a "catchy slogan" "Building a better
toMorrow" etc.
Also the names of whatever fonts are used in published rule books etc in Morrow Documents. I found one called Acens.ttf which is a non-bold version of "The Morrow Project" title text on v1/2 of the rules.
For the logo I was thinking of a globe, with hands holding it protectively. Cliche I know but what the hell.
Any ideas guys? Shall we create Morrow Industries?
