After collecting my opinions I realised that I could have gathered a wider range of opinions on specific themes related to Superlambananas, however, now it is too late to try and gather more as I need to focus on creating my presentation.
Although, I did gather opinions on the subject in general in a wide range of sources including BBC interviews, facebook groups, comments sections and family/friends.
Below are the opinions I gathered -
1. The leader of Liverpool City Council and deputy chairman of Liverpool Culture Company, said:
"The Superlambanana has grown into a much loved symbol of the city and this deal works on all levels, for the artist, for the city and for art lovers everywhere.”2.
''The Superlambanana is a symbol as synonymous now with our Capital of Culture success as with the city and modern art." Phil Redmond
Opinions of friends and family when asked "What do you think of Superlambananas in general?"
Along with opinions found in comments sections on various web articles-
3.”Superlambananas confuse me. I don’t see the appeal.”
4.”I dont know what they are!?”
5.”They were a waste of money, I quite like them now though.”
6.”I think they are weird but a really unqiue way to attract people to the city!”
7.”When I was younger, when they were in liverpool I loved them! But Now I think they are just a bit odd.”
8. “The Superlambanana Trail was a really fun idea. I enjoy trying to find them around liverpool today”
9.”I think its a shame that they were all sold at auction. Now only a few are left in Liverpool. I prefered it when they were dotted around everywhere”
10.”I really don’t understand its purpose, or meaning. What is the meaning behind a lamb and a banana?”
11."Thats one strange looking sculpture!”
12."To be honest,I find the big one a bit of an eyesore, but the little ones are cute, and the SLB trail during the culture capital year were great fun.”
13."I thought it was a dance!”
14. “ They look like horses, like you can ride them!”
15. “They are memorable for Liverpool. When you think of Liverpool you think of Llambananas”
16. "I am simply amazed with the idea of creating superlambananas"
17.”I loved the idea of them scattered arond the city, why did it have to be temporary?”
18.”I know these will only be temporary and this is what makes it more exciting, but I wonder how it would go down if these were all permanent features in Liverpool. I think the trail would become one of the most popular things in the City.”
I found a post on a Superlambanana group on Facebook asking "What is your favourite Superlambanana??" So I gathered the following opinions from there-
19.”It has to be the Supergrassbanana it looks so cuddly!”
20.”Got to be the glow in the dark one by the docks!!!!”
21. The majority of group members voted “Peel” as the favourite Lambanana.
At one point I was struggling to gather opinions and so I asked various people "If you could design a Superlambanana what theme/design would you give it?"
I later dismissed these answers as I felt they did not fit into the category of opinions. However, here are the answers I received-
“I would design a Rudolph Lambanana”
“Probably something really unoriginal like putting loads of bananas on it?”
“Princess Lambanana!”
“Raising awareness of food poverty”
