The spoke card idea was always debateable. Unfortunately, those who think spoke cards are "cool", have also thought spoke cards were a good idea in communicating to the public.
Not only have I, and now Ed, and others tried to make others aware that spoke cards cannot be read, specially when in motion, so what are we then communicating? The colours?
Sorry, Ed put it politely, but I'm not. We're talking about people getting killed, and action being taken to reduce this. A campaign where 99.99% of people cannot possibly see what we are saying is not helpful.
There were loads of ideas floating about in other threads, but why people keep returning to an idea which does not deliver the message, is strange to me.
The sign/motif at the top of this KiwiCycles page, was created here, on Lfgss. That is quite brilliant. http://www.kiwicycles.com/links.htm
