Not everyone here wants a duece roadster or a 55 Chevy. His design shows the diversity that makes up the membership of this sight.

Oh, one thing, could you shoehorn a Caddy in there somewhere?? (Just kidding).

No mattter what you do with the design your'e not going to be able to cover everyone. Look at the current logo that's been there for years...it doesn't.

I hold with our buddy "Signshop" and his simple yet attractive logo suggestion.

An appealing aspect of CHR is the very broad variety of interests expressed by the people who make their presence known on this forum. Any day you log in you may find drag racing enthusiasts, radical custom lovers, street rodders and rat rodders, model car experts, guys whose sole interest is engines, and on and on and on. The list could be a yard long.

We have an extremely helpful and knowledgeable crew of contributors. It would be a pretty rare and off-beat car question that didn't get a qualified "been there done that" answer.

What I'm trying to get around to saying is that we don't need a logo that suggests that we are limited to any particular area of automotive interest. Not a reproduction '32 club or a Chevy club or a strictly street machine club or drag racer's club, or whatever.

If somebody is a car person, well, COME ON IN! Glad to see you!

Signshop's presentation attracts attention without giving the impression that we are in bed with anybody.

I like it.

Wow! Great stuff in this thread. Do you think we are ready to vote yet? Or are there more coming in we should wait for?

IMHO, I think you should set a cut-off date. Feb 10th looks good to me although others might prefer something sooner or later.
The designs so far submitted are killer and the final choice will be difficult.

Well, Uncle Bob, I guess you have a point there. I wouldn't mention this to anybody but you, so, if you will, please keep it confidential, but at my age references to "in bed" bring to mind some awkward and embarrassing situations.

Maybe I should have said "in cahoots".

By the way, what is this reference to "size" in the quote?

Ah, Bill, ........ Am I kicked off the forum?


Jim

Yeah I agree, set an end date to have all submissions in by.

QUOTE=Bob Parmenter]HEAVEN FORBID!!!! I'm not THAT old yet!!![/QUOTE]


What what I was referring to was that gibberish that comes after "QUOTE["
when you quote from a posting....... It says "[COLOR=Red][SIZE="5"].

Now, That's got me bothered!

Jim

red text, size 5 font, html code! No inference to Uncle Bob, I hope!
Brent lets set a date with a few days for any stragglers to get in a design, then go from there. I suggest you pick your top three choices and then put it to CHR's to vote for their favorite!

Eye site must be failing (along witheverything else!) I missed the Caddy, ouch!!

Simple scmimple, make it all encompassing, or not....All the ideas are usable.

Just for clarification, the designs I have posted are only really examples of the style that these banners or logos, or whatever they are, could be done in. The pictures I have used have come from stock photos website, and it just so happened that the best, high quality ones that suited what I had in mind for a particular design, were mostly of the roadsters. However, I did make the '55 Chev one, and the Woody one, just to show that any car can fit in there fine.

So I have created one last design, featuring many cars. I have taken the woody and the '55 Chev from before, and put a coupe in there, as well as a Mustang (though I think a Camaro would be preferable to be honest, represents muscle cars better in my opinion). But again, any car coudl go in there, it's just a matter of finding the pictures to suit.

Just a warning, it's a little bit larger this time.


T-shirt

I was almost done with my design and the Nurses here at the home took my crayons away. But some of the great ones you guys have posted gave me an idea. Since the name is sort of like a nightclub, (you know, CLUB HOT ROD), what about sort of a diner motif with cars sitting around outside and a marque that reads CLUB HOT ROD??

All the ones that have been posted so far are terrific though.


Don

Ok, lets say the 10th is the cutoff date. Thanks for the submittals thus far.

Here is another.....

I have to admit I like the original logo, but with this saying,

We have a local hardware chain, with "If we don't have it, then you don't need it", slogan, funny enough they don't sell condems!
