Motivational Posters - Conformity Penguins
June 2, 2008
Greetings fellow How I Met Your Mother fans and those who love awesome motivational posters. It’s no secret that most of my visitors come here for information on Barney Stinson’s Awesomeness Poster. Many of you have also requested some of the other Motivational Posters from Barney’s office. I have also been working on several of the other posters (a post coming soon, I promise!), however until then let’s talk about the Conformity Motivational Poster. 
In “Life Among the Gorillas” not only do we see the poster but we without a doubt know what it says because Marshall reads it out loud. It reads “Conformity, It’s the one who is different that gets left out in the cold.”
The original poster shows a group of penguins (when I figure out the stock photo location I will modify this). However, I felt that a more accurate poster would only have 1 penguin (because it’s alone…try and keep up). So for your enjoyment, I have made up a desktop version of the poster that can be downloaded from here. It is 1680 x 1260 and in jpg format. The photo in the poster is from Eli Duke (flickr page and homepage). Thanks Eli, hope it meets your approval! Download here. Also, check Cafepress (though I may be shopping for a better poster maker) if you like what you see.
Also, some feedback (thoughts, suggestions, what else you would like to see, etc.) on what you thing about the conformity poster would be great. Thanks all.

Great poster. Still, I think the group of penguins gets the message accross more effectively: it shows how conformity of the penguins and sticking together helps keep them warm.

Thanks for the compliment… I can see your point..but I feel mine shows the other side of that… “the one who is different”….
I dunno, I’m still looking for the stock photo… no luck so far. If anyone else finds it feel free to let me know!

arah…. I don’t mind you using my layout at all… I do like the pic you chose, though I still wish I could find the original. No matter, great work!
Thanks!

Whatttttt… this poster should compliment standing out from the crowd. its like your saying, be like everyone else. what ever happened to dare to be different. what a let down this was.

@Twink… ouch?
Twink. While I agree with your sentiment, on the show (How I Met Your Mother) it was encouraging “being like everyone else”… this is just a fan version of that poster. Now If you would like something different then we can talk…I do design other posters for people (shameless plug) so they they may have their own version… either way…that for the comments and the swift kick in the rear, I’m sure I deserved it for something.
