A Name for 'da fam'ly'- (AL,FL Panhandle,GA Region)

[St33lsinger]

I saw that one in my looking around. It might be to much to get all generations in. But I'll see what I can do.

Just a thought but I was thinking when you guys and gals are designing all this we need to think about putting these designs on t-shirts and caps.

As long as backgrounds remain a solid color it can be set for transparent when making stickers, tees or anything else. For example...

Pardon my rant, and you may all disagree, but I want nothing to do with GM or Chevy anymore, and will not wear or support anything that promotes them. They won't or can't fix the tinny exhaust rattle coming from under the right side of my car (I know some of you have this same problem), and they can't stop my right-rear window from rattling either. (Even though there are TSBs out long ago on both subjects.) Another thing, haven't you noticed how your vent fan rattles and clunks when set to fresh air and the fan is set to mid-range? (I was repeatedly told this is normal, and they let me test drive two other SSs to prove it, and guess what, they all rattled! A rattle is normal?!? It was designed to rattle?!?!?!?) Even escalating doesn't help.

So, once again, if we can't even use a logo with their bow-tie...I'm done with GM. I guess even this emoticon isn't OK with the imperial GM powers that be, since there is a face inside: (Oh, by the way, most of the other suggestions use the bow-tie also, and have to be abandoned.)

OK, I'm admittedly kind of pissed, but the BBS and the designs were helping take my mind off the fact I've lost two friends to cancer in the last few weeks, and I just didn't need this mindless drivel from GM.

Anyway, here's my facetious and non-serious submission for our emblem/logo that does not offend Chevy or GM by using their bow-tie... (Oh yea, don't be surprised if I'm gone form the forum, for anyone who ever says anything against Camaros is usually banned.)

Wow Dude chill a minute.

Its not a big deal. So we change things alittle. I'll try to get something else in a few.

Hey everyone,

This is Kathryn again on Kurt's username...I probably should get my own, haha. I was having some fun playing around this morning; I decided to try a more round shape just for kicks. We have an old school Chevy magnet on our fridge I drew some inspiration from. Thank you for all the feedback so far, I'm having a lot of fun coming up with new ideas. But here's two more for you to look at...I'll be messing around with different fonts too, I haven't really changed those up since my few logo ideas.

Thanks! Happy Saturday!

HOLY SNIKEYS!!

I have to admit yours are more LOGO-ish. I would say either your 3rd one from before or your red one.

Mine and Sauron's would make good tee-shirts. I think at out next meet we'll get some pictures. Here is where mine is right now. Mind you this is rough...working on limited time.

I am only trying to protect the winning designer from getting involved in a legal issue.

The Chevrolet Bowtie is the world’s most recognizable automotive symbol. Chevrolet has every right to protect and regulate how it is portrayed and when and where it is used. Dealers are not even allowed to legally place their dealership’s name inside the bowtie. We are no different, and those who have used the bowtie in an inappropriate way just haven’t gotten caught.

I have been informed that when we come up with some designs, I can submit them for review and approval.

It may be acceptable to use the bowtie as long as we avoid putting anything inside the bowtie.

I don’t blame Chevrolet for wanting to have control over their logo’s use. If I had worked that hard to build a company, I would want to make sure that my logo was copyrighted, trademarked, only went places I approved and was not compromised in its portrayal.

Do not let this discourage you from submitting ideas! Just take it into consideration while you are brainstorming. No Biggie.

Thanks y’all!

Looks like Steelsinger's going to have three sure votes by the cars in the poster. LOL

As my post count shows, I don't say much unless I need to. I usually do it in PM or emails. I am however, always viewing the posts and when I need to I'll post something. Now, is one of those times...

Don,

Perhaps you are taking this to the extreme (i'm trying to be respectful saying it that way). Copyrights, logos, trademarks, research and design and patents are not free. The aforementioned cost the auto companies billions worldwide each year. They pass those expenses on to each of us because this is a business. With that said, they own the rights, they control the rights.

As Mimi stated earlier, we as dealers are limited (in my example) to use Toyota's logos/name in our advertising. Dealerships do have operating agreements to use their logo/name under controlled situations. As an example, I am building a parts web site and I can not use Toyota's logos or name in my url. Toyota is more demanding than Chevrolet from what I can see.

When I met you at Pensacola, you had concerns about your Toyota Venza and dealer as you are now with your Cheverolet Camaro and dealer. Perhaps the problem lies elsewhere.

With that said, take a deep breath and remember we are all on here for fun and to have a good time.

FYI...using Toyota's logo in your post is against their policy and procedures even. Still think GM is so bad?

We need another "MEET & GREET" and a "Family Hug"

[Baldman]

Have you seen the "Emerald Coast Camaros" signatures that Hazman did. Who ever asked him to do that THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I guess I owe Milissa a "BIG HUG" next time.

[St33lsinger]

The one Hazman did is another good Tee-Shirt GFX.

I believe Kathryn's would be a good choice of a logo.
Either one or both of the top images....and then Hazman and Steelsinger/Sauron for Tee-Shirts. Not sure if Haz would charge us for use of the GFX though.

[68/2010]

That one above and this one I had Hazman come up with these
