New Art for Googolplex Links

Click here to view the Summer 2006 Googolplex newsletters!

Do you distinguish between the three levels of Googolplex for your young members? In addition to the standard buttons that are currently available, now you can download individual buttons that graphically display the difference of each level.

The elementary school level button shows young children playing in the 5-Spot Clubhouse. The familiar characters are from the Googolplex newsletters’ Natalie comic strips.

The middle school level button shows teenagers shopping at AJ’s Mall. The familiar characters are from the Googolplex newsletters’ Kid Kred comic strips.

The high school level button shows a bulletin board that could be posted at any college or high school. In this case, it’s at C-Note University. The familiar image of Jess from stories inside Googolplex is on one of the notes on the bulletin board.

Download square or rectangular versions of the new buttons, or the original standard buttons by clicking on this link: http://buy.cuna.org/static/gplx_graphics.html.

Know what's coming: Stories and games that teach and entertain
July, August, and September 2006 lineup in Googolplex.

Give youth print and online newsletters!

Every quarter we send you enough ready-to-print pages to create three full newsletters – one for elementary-school, middle-school, and high-school level readers. We provide newsletters in high resolution for print, and low resolution for e-mail or online viewing.

These lively newsletter pages give your young members previews of stories, activities, and comics for the coming three months. Use them to direct young readers to your credit union web site, so they can see what’s new at Googolplex on your web site!

IMPORTANT: You add your credit union logo and mailing information. You can print and distribute them, and also make them available as a link on your web site. Got that creative bug? Add your own stories, art, more pages, or customize in other ways - it’s up to you!

Here’s what you get:

• Complete newsletter pages (in high resolution PDF and JPEG formats) for elementary through high school students. The newsletters feature comics, activities and teasers about stories and games for the coming three months.
• All of those same newsletter pages in low-resolution PDF format for online and e-mail use.

Here’s how you get it:
To retrieve the ready-to-print, ready-to-view newsletter pages each quarter, log in to your Googolplex Set-up and Promotion page, select the pages you need, and download them free of charge.

Don’t Waste Your Subscription
