Does not fit into the aesthetics (or tone) of the collection imo.
The image with the wolf mixed with the other animals to me demonstrates this to me.
Warewolf is the perfect example of how to make a wolf head idea feel nounish, which also makes me feel like this prop is trying to fill a hole that isn't there.
Love your work though, Nadie. Keep it coming!
This proposal needs to be updated with samples of the head in random configurations with traits and against other nouns in order for one to contextualise it. Without these samples it is unreasonable to expect voters to be able to judge a traits viability or fit in the collection.
@0x7c80...44F2
I am also a fan of the inanimate objects as living beings (especially mundane ones).
Of course you are free to not like this design nor want it in the collection, but are you saying the Nouns collection would be better off without all these great animal heads with extra sets of eyes?
goat, fox, sasquatch, capybara, owl, crab, snake, flamingo, fishbowl, beluga, chameleon... etc.
because these are some of the best heads imo
> I really like how Nouns are usually inanimate objects being reimagined as living beings. I don't think it works to turn a living creature into the head of another living being. I especially don't like when it ends up having multiple sets of eyes!

I am also pro Nouns compensating trait submissions.
I prefer the design in this proposal as it is, than the remixes i've seen.

> I can't see how charging for it would increase the quality bar. The payment comes from a shared resource (treasury), so voters don't really feel any pain when paying (that's probably why the DAO is a bit reckless with expenses to start with 😅), and if anything, adding comp will make the props more contentious and prone to infighting.

That's how we keep Noundry going.

nouns-town-–-2025-edition
really admire and am excited about the way you are 1. dreaming of the long term future of this and 2. are going about the building in public experiment.
hope that takes off and has a great impact. Nouns leaving places better than they found it is beatiful.
HOPE gallery is a great idea.
I hope if im very lucky ill be able to make it to Austin.
Good luck
Nouns Deli is an awesome asset for Nouns that I hope continues its mission for a long time.
This is a small and resonable cost for moving locations.
I can attest that the proposed new location is a really excellent venue (that I personally visit often with my family) with a more diverse crowd that are also more likely to be nouns-curious. The venue also creates more opportunity for Nouns Deli to interact, intersect, and collaborate with the local community, that I hope ND take advantage of.
Given the 3 points above it makes good sense to support this imho.
I like the idea of being playful with a dynamic trait, but im just imagining that many buyers of nouns with this invisible trait will have no idea and then be surprised and frustrated when their noun changes suddenly.
Also seneca makes a great point. once its swapped once, its just a trait like any other.
+1
> Dynamic traits fun but replacing a trait doesn’t seem all that dynamic in practice. eg after the first replacement, you’d be replacing an actual trait, not the placeholder/dynamic property. Kinda kills the lore.
+1
> I like the concept, but I can see this increasing voting to modify traits that probably won't add much to the collection/lore. I prefer to see well-designed traits that become permanent.

No the operational team is not Nounish. Nounish provides the branding, marketing and video materials as outlined in the budget.
The team is the same as the team for the previous years Nouns Fest.
The founders are the operational team plus we have a producer, social media manager, and event manager. Plus various other vendors as required.
The proposal has been updated to add a team section. And there is more info at nounsfest.tv

My reading of this (although if I’m right it was phrased poorly):
IF you want a “minority protection” or refund mechanism, AND you want to be DUNA compliant, THEN you cannot use the fork mechanism, but you can use this.

Atrium have shown huge committment, understanding, and ability to create awesome value for both Nouns and in their own ecosystem.
Having a film under our collective belt, of this quality, for this cost, would be an amazing achievement.
Atrium's commitment to cover part of the cost and turn the project sustainable as they did with Quack is admirable and promising
Momentum is extremely important for production like this, I cant see a justification for putting the breaks on it so lets get it.
I think Latsko's comments about finding ways to tell the meta story and reach wider audiences and build something on social media is advice worth heading, and it looks like it will be.
Well done and good luck Supriyo and team! Good luck.
A bit puzzled why one would remove the automatically generated grid of playground tested nouns from the proposal draft?
I point this out because i think its really important to see these, and they shouldnt be hidden away.
The glasses may look cool out of context on the one mouse head, but when clicking the link to see the random generated ones for me they clearly clash (in not a good way) with way too many head combos to be appealing.
Appreciate your love of the Nouns art and desire to experiment with it and evolve it, and obviousy the IRL reference glasses are obviously iconic, but its a very clear no from me.
To the request to review monochrome noggles, my favourite of yours submitted are: mustard, purple, dark gold, and pale cyan.
I am a big fan of what Makoto Tagawa and co have done so far and are trying to do.
Hope to see more and more :)
+1
> At first I did not understand the significance of this proposal, but thankfully I took the time to go on the Nouns Japan X spaces where I was able to ask questions and they had an interpreter there for me which was very helpful. Essentially I like to compare Kitpas to Yoga.... in order to be a Yoga instructor you have to go through training, in order to be a Kitpas instructor you have to go through training.... currently there 204 Kitpas instructors in the world, all of which are in Japan... so part of this proposal is to have Midas travel to Japan to participate in the training so he can become an instructor and also teach others within the US. Just to clarify the travel in this prop is for Midas to travel to Japan for the instructor workshop and then for Tagawa to travel within Japan for trainings & Nouns themed workshops where he creates art with students.
+1
> as an American who has never heard of Kitpas, Kitpas feel "weird" in an endearing, nounish way. I'm pretty sure Krel had one of these as his pfp for awhile, right? The art is cute, I like it. Interesting idea to spread culture abroad
+1
> I hear Peter's concerns. I also have a breadth of insight from conversations with Tagawa, Kink, & Midas to know that Tagawa has already been very successful in his local community as a Kitpas instructor and taught several hundred if not thousands of students in his community and across Japan
>
> while the prop could more concise and easier to comprehend, the ethos of Kitpas education is Nounish af and bringing it to America by training Midas and across the world by supporting the Uganda school makes the cost worth it. having the Nounish color palette actualized into crayons in partnership with Kitpas is personally energizing
I found the vision in this vwr was more clear and more exciting to me than the specifics of the proposal itself.

> This proposal only covers #1 and #2 only on the surface level (ref budget line items + listed opportunities), with distribution being limited to small platforms that aren’t native to music as such.

I can't help but feel that this proposal, its strategy, and builders are fairly misunderstood here (sometimes willfully).
I am a true believer in the strategy of making Nouns a beloved brand on many fronts, including as a character IP brand as David envisions. And he and Sun-Min are clearly an amazing fit for this.
I think its underrated how cool this first inways with the original round of plush and Loft and their customer base is, and that its something we should definitely capitalise on.
Ultimately, I see the potential upside of the strategy David has laid out working to be of much more significance than so many other things we fund.
I hope to see this funded.
Thanks and good luck David
+1
> I still think this is an important avenue to explore and think David and Sun-Min are perfectly suited for it - I love the plush and the idea of an Ugly Noun, and want to see this all make its way into the hands of people.
> - Gremplin
+1
> Having followed David's incredible career as fans, we can confidently say that few are as well-suited as David to lead this charge and opportunity for Nouns. David’s experience in building brands, IP and relationships over the years makes him an invaluable asset to Nouns and would benefit future projects across the DAO.
For, while hoping the team takes the comments about distribution on board. I think this reply sounds like the right direction, but how youre going to reach people and get lots of downloads is still a very important untackled challenge. Hope you guys can figure this out during the work to complete this proposal so it doesn't go to waste.
Good luck!

There's often a ton of red tape involved with school curricula, sometimes at local government levels or even national ones. Every country has different rules, and it's honestly a huge challenge.

We're thinking about home education, group learning, local community centers, that kind of thing. We've found that people are actively looking for stuff they can print at home and use right away to teach or play with their kids. This approach has worked best for us so far, and I think it's a great direction where we can achieve a lot more.

I would love to see this high quality group of people building on Nouns and appreciate the effort to come up with a novel product/proposal, but I can't reconcile how this cost is a justifiable spend for the outcome proposed.
I just don't see how it moves any particular needle by any significant amount.
And specifically I don't believe the difficulty of bidding issue (if it really is one) is a really a driver of prices when zooming out even a tiny bit.
Thanks to the team for putting it forward.
I find Krel's comment compelling here:
>the 160k funding ask is somewhat high in the current financial state of nouns. My suggestion would be to keep the overall goal — "to expand the current meaning of the collection from PFP to digital fine art" — but decouple the website from the book, and begin with the website/video as the first deliverable.
I'd hope you can show the value in what you're building here in that first digital stage, and bostler support for a book that follows. I'm guessing (may be wrong) that it will also allow for a flexible and iterative way to build this work, which means we you do finally get to the book the product will be stronger than it may be otherwise.
To reiterate: I think the goals you're chasing here are really important and am supportive of this mission. The exact how remains a curiosity for me.

> I think this is a project the dao should do and that will serve Nouns well. A lot of us came to love Nouns because the pixels are just so insanely good, and a project that celebrates onchain pixels as art in its own right is something ive been waiting for. I feel like theres a lot of parallels to draw to Cryptopunks with the way Facu wants to present Nouns in this project, and im excited about that.

32x32px:-the-art-of-nouns---updatableHuge fan of this idea and project.
So great to see such top tier design consideration going into a project like this too.
+1 to Krel
Catering the non-active devs over active artists is a take that holds no reason imo. Let's not keep moving the goalposts.
Amiyoko, this is both a beautiful, absurd, and delicious trait. The three best qualities in Nouns heads. Well done.
Hi Bower, thanks for the comment and for asking to clarify the alignment section. We understand this section of the proposal could be clearer, so we’ve just updated it.
To answer you directly: Definitely not. We don’t intend to stop making Nouns based content or change our Nouns branding after the funding stops. In fact, the intent of our proposal is the exact opposite.
We’re insanely passionate about Nouns and what it represents - these funds are to enable us to do this forever, but we wanted to acknowledge that it’s a conversation we should have (how the DAO can ensure they continue to get value when incentive-alignment, created by funding, comes to an end). Thanks again for your question!

> Hi guys. Appreciate the proposal, I'm a big fan of nounish' content. I would love to have more clarity on the alignment section. The message I'm getting is that if the funding from Nouns stops, the Nouns content from nounish will also stop? Obviously that is your prerogative, but it does feel a bit off to me. The DAO has been funding nounish for quite a long time and for quite a large % of the treasury. Feels weird to see that if nounish became sustainable and didn't need more funding, the Nouns content would consequently just stop. Thanks!

For the last 8 months we have broadcast nounishness across the internet, to millions. Creativity, curiosity, vulnerability, absurdity, playfulness. These values are central to our brand, and we think they are essential in addressing a larger problem.
In an online landscape where creators must compete desperately for attention they ultimately satisfy algorithms, not audiences. And when stories prioritize being *seen* over everything else, the audience is left starved of substance. We don't want to contribute to this damaging design.
Nounish represents more than just an appeal to attention. We must activate our audience's curiosity. We need to speak to the part of them that is courageous and inventive and inspired - every Nounish story should be a trojan horse designed to wreak wholesome havoc online.
Nounish needs to do all of this to prove that a massive social media brand can be positive-sum; an ambitious step towards an even greater vision: **to re-humanise the internet through creativity.**
This long-term vision requires us to:
1. grow massively
2. nourish our audience
3. build a community
4. become a sustainable business
These are the pillars that underpin this proposal.

We are Nounish. A team of 12 who transformed our commercial production company, Pixel, to focus full-time on Nouns. We are led by Goldy & 142 - two Nouners and early community members.
Nounish has been funded four times by Nouns DAO ([pilot](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/64), [season 1](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/143), [season 2](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/289), [season 3](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/413)). At first, we represented a dedicated marketing studio for the DAO, producing videos about Nouns-funded projects, including the [11 minute explainer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa79nN4gMPs) on [nouns.wtf](https://nouns.wtf), along with videos about [Gnars](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQSmfSnRGVk), [Free Glasses for Kids](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_GgY3WAKAQ), [Mucho Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu3P5c0LUMU), [Esports](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAXzMQ8pPvE) and [more](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAO9CnBm9XBzCE7v91A_0Aya4lNkNefwS).
We then set out to expand our viewership, turning the camera back on ourselves with the goal of building our own audience - a paradigm shift that cannot be overstated.
It was a moment where a highly skilled team - a team that spent 15 years adhering to the restrictive guidelines of advertising - were set free. We weren't given the keys to a kingdom, we were given the chance to build our own.
And we were ready.
---
We've grown our followership by almost 7x from 80K to 540K, and are growing at about 5K per day. This includes 120K subscribers on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/nounish), 260K on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nounish), and 110K on [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@nounish_). All of our growth is organic.
Our ambitious goal from proposal 413 was to 10x our followership, a target we're projected to hit by the end of August.
After finding product-market fit with [Three Artists](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5qSOcXMmon/), we have experimented with new ideas that have garnered millions of views and significant engagement. We followed up Three Artists with two back-to-back bangers: [Drawn Apart](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bKJvHYx1B-I) and [Drawn Together](https://www.tiktok.com/@nounish_/video/7346983531702226218), both of which are growing even faster than Three Artists.
Whilst Three Artists (a 5-hour art challenge) requires one day to shoot an episode, our newer experiments have allowed for shooting multiple - our most recent shoot saw us capture 14 episodes across two days.
We’ve continued to refine processes in all phases of production, allowing us to double the speed of finishing episodes, and we've experimented with [XL edits](https://www.tiktok.com/@nounish_/video/7367043078609440046) and [longer-form YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0cDxB0VoT4) releases.
We are constantly improving, optimising and learning.
We’ve translated our top performing videos and our new [spanish language instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nounish.es) and [tiktok channels](https://www.tiktok.com/@nounish.es) are growing fast. We are now warming up our portuguese language accounts, and will then be creating youtube channels for both languages. Global impact is the goal.
Our gifs are getting used more and more, including by our Instagram community. We've even come across people who discover our videos for the first time and recognise the noggles *from* the gifs. Also, we just crossed 2.5 billion views on [Giphy](https://giphy.com/nounish) (and 1.1 million shares on [Tenor](https://tenor.com/users/goldypix)), which we understand sounds like a fictitious stat.
We’ve created new connections to begin exploring potential partnerships, including relationships with Adobe, Wacom and Magma. After watching our Nouns Explainer, Adobe were fascinated by the story behind Nouns & Nounish and discussed Nounish featuring as a speaker at Adobe Max.
Our audience can see the aspirational quality of our work, and feel the aspirational quality of our culture.
From wanting to buy prints of the artworks created on our shows, to admiring the quality of the videos themselves, to appreciating the Nounish values that underscore our storytelling. Though Three Artists may be framed as an art 'competition', nobody wins or loses. It's not the point. It's not Nounish - and our audience get it.
We’re ready to make more impact. We'll continue making hits that stand out in their production value and their cultural value. Over time noggles will make both an aesthetic and emotional imprint.
---
Although most of our work up until this point has been short-form content, we have always had a strong instinct that long-form is where we were heading.
Getting traction on YouTube, specifically with long-form storytelling, is the most difficult. And there's a reason for that - it's the most rewarding. Longer-form stories are key to both nourishment and monetisation.
We've set ourselves up with 120K YouTube subscribers, and we've run multiple [long-form experiments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6O0L34Oa3k) to make sure we can apply all of our learnings moving forward. A longer runway will be the linchpin that allows us achieve our long-form ambitions.
Projected to hit 800K by the end of August, across our platforms, our follower goal will now shift to focus on YouTube, where we aim to get 1 million subscribers over the next 2 years.
We'll continue to uplift and inspire our current audience of artists, whilst working on what it means to reignite creativity and curiosity more generally. That is to say, 'curious creatives' are not limited to a specific mode of self-expression. It's the value of self-expression that they are connected by.
We want to appeal to the creativity and curiosity in everyone, and begin workshopping new ideas that can capture an even greater audience.
The north star of [proposal 413](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/413) was growth, so we made the strategic decision to pilot ideas in the 60-90 second range (allowing us to hit all major short-form platforms). Having said this, we definitely felt the limitations of these time constraints - as did our audience.
Increasing the length of our stories on YouTube will allow us to nourish our audience, because it's where people go *for* nourishment. This is in stark contrast to the sensation of the short-form-doomscroll.
Something that will help us move quickly to maximise nourishment is that, over the last few months, we chose to capture all episodes of Three Artists, Drawn Together and Drawn Apart for short-form *and* long-form releases (vertical and horizontal). This means we'll be able to maintain our short-form platforms, whilst giving us the best chance to build long-form momentum immediately. Our fans will be very happy.
After solidifying our values and establishing a manifesto, it became clear that Nounish needs to stop thinking of our fans as followers, and start treating them as community members. If we want to re-humanise the internet, we must start by humanising our followership.
Building a community will be a unique challenge for us. We will be exploring all avenues from more meaningful communication with our audience (giving people time is one of the first tools we have been using to humanise our viewers), giving them creative challenges, studio livestreams, creative feedback sessions, coordinating philanthropic group projects and organising events that allow us to connect in person.
Fostering a sense of community and connection is something we've already been doing in our immediate orbit. Every artist we work with is lit up by Nounish, so our next step is to do everything we can to beam this same energy out to millions.
All of these factors will be instrumental in achieving sustainability.
We are asking for 18 months of runway to reach sustainability.
We are going to use our same approach of prototyping, experimenting, learning and iterating, to figure out what model(s) of revenue work for us and align with our vision.
Some of the experiments we're considering are:
- Ad revenue from platforms.
- Brand sponsorships.
- Audience Subscriptions.
- Creative Courses.
- Merch.
- Events.
- Collaborations with Web3 aligned brands.
We ran a profitable business and it lacked meaning. We ran an unprofitable venture and found meaning. Now we need to do both.

We plan to be Nounish forever. But we understand there may be a concern around maintaining long term alignment between sustainable businesses and Nouns.
We don’t see this as a risk for us specifically, given Nouns is integrated deeply in both our content and our branding - Nouns is in our name, the noggles are our brand - but it feels like a healthy discussion we (and all proposers aiming for self-sustainability) should have.
---
The ambition to make a massive Nounish-shaped mark on the culture of social media, and the internet more broadly, is big. It's actually too big for us to fully comprehend. But we need to take a big swing, and use all of our storytelling skills to make a contribution.
Humans can be so creative, so inspiring and so powerful when they feel connected. If we can build a movement that understands we are all worth being curious about, then Nounish and Nouns will win.

Nouns probably still has an issue with governance having a bit too much low-dopamine homework vibes, and giving a real shot at making it more fun and accessible (specifically mobile) is a worthy experiment to see if it increases energy and participation in governance imo.

soft-serve-headI happen to think the fact that it looks a bit like a poo emoji is a positive aspect to the design 🤷 Highly remixable, memeable, and silly.
# 🎨 Noundry: Add Soft Serve Head
\*submitted via \*[Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/66681bc4ba68bf76313ffa37)
# Summary
This proposal adds a new **head** trait: Soft Serve
Delicious, special, and sweet.
Cool, refreshing, and neat.
Inventive, aerated, it’s anticipated,
a special summer treat.
Did you know it’s mechanically reliant?
But dietarily non-compliant.
It’s nostalgic, iconic, with plenty of curves,
It’s a brand new trait; It’s soft serve!
Behold the most iconic and aesthetically constructed ice cream format. Famous for refreshing people on a hot summers day across the world. Nouns deserves a special treat this New Trait Summer. Vote FOR the Soft Serve head.
---
# The Design
Soft serve fits in neatly to the category of simple, clean, white or near-white head designs like Cloud, Speech bubble, Beluga, Toilet paper, Garlic, Mug, Cotton ball, Moon, Egg, Volleyball, and Chef hat. Recent design updates to the soft serve head include small tweaks to the mouth and the billowed edges, and most notably the flicked hairdo.
This soft serve design utilises the warmer whites as it is a classic vanilla flavour. I hope you enjoy it.
**Showcase Noun**
**Trait artwork**
**Circle crop**
**Palette: 2 colors**
**Playground testing**
Here are some auto-generated combinations of the new part with existing Nouns parts:

# 🎨 Noundry: Add Soft Serve Head
\*submitted via \*[Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/66681bc4ba68bf76313ffa37)
# Summary
This proposal adds a new **head** trait: Soft Serve
Delicious, special, and sweet.
Cool, refreshing, and neat.
Inventive, aerated, it’s anticipated,
a special summer treat.
Did you know it’s mechanically reliant?
But dietarily non-compliant.
It’s nostalgic, iconic, with plenty of curves,
It’s a brand new trait; It’s soft serve!
Behold the most iconic and aesthetically constructed ice cream format. Famous for refreshing people on a hot summers day across the world. Nouns deserves a special treat this New Trait Summer. Vote FOR the Soft Serve head.
---
# The Design
Soft serve fits in neatly to the category of simple, clean, white or near-white head designs like Cloud, Speech bubble, Beluga, Toilet paper, Garlic, Mug, Cotton ball, Moon, Egg, Volleyball, and Chef hat. Recent design updates to the soft serve head include small tweaks to the mouth and the billowed edges, and most notably the flicked hairdo.
This soft serve design utilises the warmer whites as it is a classic vanilla flavour. I hope you enjoy it.
**Showcase Noun**
**Trait artwork**
**Circle crop**
**Palette: 2 colors**

Here are some auto-generated combinations of the new part with existing Nouns parts:

Behold the most iconic and aesthetically constructed ice cream format. Famous for refreshing people on a hot summers day across the world. Nouns deserves a special treat this New Trait Summer. Vote FOR the Soft Serve head.
## \_\_\_
## The Design
Soft serve fits in neatly to the category of simple, clean, white or near-white head designs like Cloud, Speech bubble, Beluga, Toilet paper, Garlic, Mug, Cotton ball, Moon, Egg, Volleyball, and Chef hat. Recent design updates to the soft serve head include small tweaks to the mouth and the billowed edges, and most notably the flicked hairdo.
This soft serve design utilises the warmer whites as it is a classic vanilla flavour. I hope you enjoy it.

## Compensation
In exchange for adding the trait to the Nouns collection, in line with recent proposals, and in order to keep the meaning, level of difficulty, and prestige of new traits high, I am requesting Noun #38

soft-serve-head
I have had the good fortunte to eat the food at Nouns Deli and it tastes good.
I have had the good fortune to visit the Nouns Deli and the vibes are good.
I have had the good fortune to speak with 87bones.eth and the words he said were good.
Bones passion for Nouns and Food and Doing Good is exciting, and I think what he is building and more importantly the way he has been building it is something that both the DAO and the greater Nouns movement can be proud of and excited about.
I am particularly impressed with the thoughtfulness with which Bones has approached messaging and communication and the ethos of the Deli brand itself, and this is reflected in the quality and nuance of the coverage he has managed to get from major publications about what he is building and what Nouns is building.
At first I was confused at this proposal as I was expecting a simpler expansion / second location approach, but I think what is being done here makes a lot of sense when I think on the focus on community and storytelling that Bones has so far focussed on.
Good luck Bones and team, keep cooking!

> nouns deli is one of the props that really delivered on an ambitious vision. had also personally put a lot on the line (converted an already successful spot) to make it happen. the budget is meaningful but i lean thinking we should let 87bones keep cookin (small note is that i think “nouns” burger day feels more natural to me than “noun” burger day).
+1
> sharing one more small note (that i originally just dm’ed to 87bones but thinking it can be helpful for other prop writers too):
>
> the first nouns value i might phrase it in the future as “doing good” rather than “public good” since that can be confused with “public goods” which is more of an economic term referring to a good that is available to the public at no cost. it ties more to cc0 and open source stuff that you already have as the second value.
right on
this is one of my favourite trait designs period, and an excellent proposal
great work facu!

> What is not to love about this?
> - Great trait concept and execution
> - the 'Why' paragraph is heartfelt and gets his own visual campaign
> - the 'Design Considerations' are so spot on it makes me want to update the Noundry guidelines page
> - Love how you personalized the template. This is the way to submit new traits. The bar is high.
> Well done Facu!
