Posters & banners

Poster — A Say in Our Skies: we're not against drones, we're asking to be asked

Poster — print & photocopy

High-contrast and built to survive black-and-white photocopying — the one for mass noticeboard and letterbox runs. Headline, what we're asking for, and the petition QR. Scales cleanly from A4 to A3.

Photo poster — A Say in Our Skies: a delivery drone over the River Lee and a Cork garden, headed we're not against drones, we're asking to be asked

Poster — display (colour)

The same message over the River Lee at dusk — the stopping-power piece for a shop window or a single colour print. Scales A4 to A3. For black-and-white photocopying, use the print poster.

A5 flyer — A Say in Our Skies, for letterboxes and handouts

Explainers

One delivery, many homes

How far the noise from a single delivery carries — a modelled single-delivery impact report.

How visible is it overhead?

A naked-eye estimate of how easily you can see the drone at 50–80 m, scaled against the full moon.

Open the note

Birds, bats & the law

What the peer-reviewed evidence says about low overflight and wildlife — and where it's silent. With the legal frame.

Open the brief

Tools
