Black or green.

For me Red has too many disturbing connotations when linking it with the continent (shape) of Africa.

How about a marcus garvey mix of all three? In stripes... that'd be cool.

Otherwise its gotta be green, although it looks like a save our trees program.... in that case its black.

Definatly black.

I think the three combined will produce something that looks like brown.

Anyway, I will consider that too.

Thats it, The Goddess got it... It represents a nationalism. Either that or just black prehaps with gold letters.

Do we get a discount for being so helpful? Could do with some beauty products... 

:)

Any Black Chat member can get a discount. You can either request a special PayPal invoice or include your Black Chat username during your order so I can include extra stuff.

Since this is a public site, I will have to confirm the person's username on Black Chat.

Thanks to all of you.

BlackBeauty,

Yes, I am aware of the numbers. I have shippment of 40,000 shea butter.

As long as they buy something, I am fine.

Infact, I am willing to give out 8 oz of free shea butter to anyone that links to my site as long as they pay $4.50 USPS flat rate shipping in the U.S. International members should contact me personal for shipping cost.

I pay over $400 a month on yahoo and ebay fees to promote so this will help me in the long run.

2 things:

-I voted for the green.  The red reminds me of the hyped-up turmoil in Africa, and the black seems too typical and reactionary.

-I ordered some Dudu Osun (the only soap I use) from your website the other day, and if you are up to constructive criticism then listen to me when I say that the site needs work.  It doesn't navigate very well, and does not intuitively convey information about your products.  I usually order it by the case, so it has been well over a year since I purchased from okaforworld.com (I think).
Anyhow, there's my 2 cents...

I am not good at websites but I just try my best until I can hire someone that does that well. Are you talking about http://www.theafricanstore.org of http://www.okaforworld.com?

OKAFORWORLD was my first site. It looks like that because I did all the work with no help from web building softwares, most of which doesn't help with search engine ranking.

Anyway, thanks for everything.

I voted Green.  Actually I prefer the Black but your objective as a businessman is to make money therefore it's a good idea to minimize aggressive interpretations.

Plus I have to minimize competition with my alternate avatar.

==============================

When I originally ordered a case of Dudu Osun from you a long time ago, it was from okaforworld.com.  Th last time I went back there (last week), and it directed me to theafricanstore.org.  

First impression and ease of use typically determines if people will give you their money.  Both times, I spent my money there because I want to support other Africans (first and foremost), Dudu Osun is the only soap that actually makes my skin feel clean (without moisturizers, film, etc.) so I keep a regular supply of it, and you probably have one of the best prices I can get it at.  I have other African soaps, but when I want to be clean, Dudu Osun is the first pick.

I finally chose the green one for production.

I did a little mistkake trying to edit the logo to fit the business card design but I only printed 10,000 for now to give out.

By the time I go to The Black Expo, I will modify it and print enough to make an impact.

Thanks for your contributions.
