I wanted to use a drawing of the car to keep the number of colours fairly low, thus keeping the overall design simple, and in a sort of traditional hot rod style, which I thought was important if it were to be printed on a T-shirt.

Also, by using a drawing of the car, instead of a photograph, it ties it in better with the computer generated text and the effects placed on that text. It makes the design smoother in my opinion, by keeping it all simple and in the same sort of theme.

If my design or designs do get selected to be produced, then I would hope that there would be some discussion about the images of the cars used so that we can try to portray the correct image of the forum, as a club that is accepting of a wide range of cars. In saying that, I think it's important to keep it simple. I guess it's just finding the balance.

I hope all that makes sense.

Yes I agree with a Drawn version.

To have a Club Hot Rod shirt or cap with a drawn version of your very own car on it, whatever it is, would be to me so cool.

As an aside, you can make your own shirt with a picture of your own car on it. You go to a fabric/craft store (e.g. Micheals, Joann, or whatever is in your part of the world) and get blank sheets of iron on transfer material. Run it through your printer using whatever picture you have that suits your desire.

There's an idea, have the clubhouse produce shirts with a CHR approved banner/name and a blank space below to iron on your picture.

O man that one is the best . I want a re-Vote ! That Dog is Famous :LOL: . And we could put Bad Dogs photo on the back ? COOL

Just another thought to stir up the pot (just for you Brent:D ); since we have such a huge slate of "candidates" perhaps we should treat this as a "primary" and take the two top contenders and the "keep what we got" choice and have another round of polling. Hey............it's an election year ain't it?

sounds like a great idea bob.

That's right, we don't want to disenfranchise any of the 100 voters here. Do we have any super delegates? :LOL: :LOL:

Denny, could you take post 13, option 2 and add a front-motored digger under it, with the front wheels to the right? Front wheels to the right because the cage would fit better with the script. Maybe even a real early car like the Bustle Bomb or the Bean Bandit car. That austere black and white lettering with a black and white car would be the best it gets in my opinion. I know that's asking a lot from you, but I know you could do it and I can't.
Thank you very much. Richard.

YEP, dual flatheads gets my vote. The Bustle Bomb looks too much like a current Rat Rod. Thank you very much Denny, I really appreciate it. I owe you one. :)

About a third of the way down on this page is a photo of the Freight Train with the chute in full blossom.

That might be pretty cool too. Of course there are thousands of photos of cars that would qualify in my opinion. I just happen to like the earlier diggers. If we got a plurality of votes on the lettering, then maybe we could have a vote on the car used.

I like to throw a monkey wrench into the works any time I can. :LOL:

I guess I need to figure out how to become a lobbyist, they're the ones that usually get what they want.......:p :3dSMILE: :LOL:

I still Like the one with the DOG . :LOL: :LOL:

one thing for sure, we have some outstanding thinkers here, and some great artists, and some funny guys and gals! I like em all, but most, I like what we got, I guess. So my vote -- #12. Not that I'd be unhappy with any of the others! Tell you what, some of you guys come up to Maine, help me finish our '47 Ford Effie, and then we can take a picture of it to submit!!!!!!! perley

Whats happening, when we getting a new logo???

I don't think the contest ends until either June 30th, or there are 500 votes or, Brent's favorite gets out of the cellar and takes a commanding lead. :LOL: :LOL: :D

I haven't voted yet, cause I don't think it's fair to vote for your own **) **)
maybe we should vote to get that hairy gorrillas pictures back in,
I'll start....vote number one by renu36 (1):rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Why are there only 88 votes? I checked the Forum membership and it showed over 23,000. If we wait for a majority rule I'll probably be pushing up Dasies (Cactus If She Chooses Tx).

Its OK to vote for yourself - people with one or two votes probably did, those with zero votes voted for their favorite instead of their own.

If you truly like yours best - VOTE FOR IT!

come on everyone please vote. It is getting t-shirt weather.

I think that every one that did not vote . Should be E-Mailed and asked to do so . :HMMM: Looks Like a Lot of members don't want a new LOGO ?? :confused:

You kind of have to look at the image as a whole for it to look right, instead of focusing on one element at a time.

I also put it on a T-shirt design just to see how it would look. I'm open to any comments and criticism, or suggestions for colour changes, I wasn't really sure what colours to go with. I may do a few more similar designs, but with different car pictures etc.

Anyway, here is my design.

Ok, looks like we have a winner!!! :) pairodice, what is your paypal address?

Congratulations Pairodice!! I like it. It looks great! Now, everybody that voted gets a free T-shirt........right? That should be part of our membership benefits.....:rolleyes: :LOL:

Cheers,
Dutch

Wow, thanks guys! It was a close race the whole way, very cool. Brent, I don't actually have Paypal, so it could be a bit of an issue, but perhaps send me a PM to discuss, I may have a solution.

Brent, PM me for my address for the free teesirt!:3dSMILE:
Denny
I want a copy of your design with the gas station for another tee shirt!
Congrats to all, some great designs and logos!
Steve.:D

Denny the sky's the limit....and about those health conditions, do you think payment could wait say 30 years! :D
Seriously, I liked the cars and trucks, thought it would make a nice tee shirt!:)

Sounds good!

Maybe those of us with a little gold cup next to our names should get the new shirts first!!:rolleyes: :LOL: :LOL:

Good choice. Way to go Parodice.

Brent, I tried sending you a PM, but apparently your inbox is full, so I will just relay it all here.

I'm pretty surprised and honoured to win the logo competition. I understand the prize was $100, and a T shirt or two with the logo on it.

I don't have Paypal, and being in a totally different country means that giving me the prize money would be a difficult thing. So what I propose is that I simply donate it back to the forum, so you can put it towards the running costs of the forum, or whatever. To be honest I wouldn't feel right taking the money anyway.

However, I would like a T shirt or two if and when you get them done. I go to lots of car shows and events here in NZ so it'd be cool to promote the forum here.

Of course, I will need a bit of time to put a much larger version together.

Thanks again for the votes guys!

Probably not way up there on the priority list........

Critics everywhere..... Where else do you get this much information and entertainment for nothing????? Like many tasks, I'd bet it looks a whole lot easier to do then it actually is......

I can tell you that the t shirts are being worked on at the moment, the design is being vectorised and then the t shirts will be made, or at least that was the next plan of attack last time I checked.

Well heck, if you're that knowledgeable then I'm sure you'll be starting your own site that will operate absolutely perfect all day long everyday!!!! I have no reason to study CPU's. This one works fine... I spend my days in the shop building cars.....

I know you don't have a reason to study CPU's, but some of the programs, you have mentioned before, you could learn them if you did study them a little. They all have to be learned. Yes, anyone can just buy one loaded ready to go....
I know you spend some time in the shop, but I do see you on here really often....not that that's a bad thing.....

I've seen your web site, not quite as elaborate as this one and not near as many features...

I'm on here in the morning, sometimes at lunch, and in the evening.....but I do get some work done every day, too.....

My daughter Sherrie and her hubby Brent stopped by Fathers Day and gave me one of the new CHR T-Shirts!

They look real good and congrats to Pairodice for the design!! Sorry for the fuzzy pic....:)

Ya might want to order one size larger than you wear tho, they are running on the small side. I normally wear a Large but the X-Large fit a lot better.

There will be an official post about the T-shirts shortly.
