haha ok understood... too soon after the big meet, I know. If not enough people can make it for a drive it's cool, I can just work on my car and get it ready for the next track day.

Thanks finch! overlookedx (who's a web designer I believe) has volunteered to help with the web design but we can surely use some input/ideas from anyone. but if anyone else has logo ideas we will try to have a final poll soon to decide what we want to go with. (btw pls don't assume that one of my designs are the one we will go with! )

To throw a stick in the design, can you rearrange it so that the needle is pointing at the "86"? I hardly go redline anyways, hardly.

Now to throw a tree at the design, how much longer till we get a final design? I have an idea at busn cards so a final design would be appreciated sooner than later. You guys are great btw

i think overlapping the needle with the warning light (which this would cause) would be kind of distracting/busy. But P can draw it up and get a poll going. Some really awesome designs, but at this point it seems like we could just keep nitpicking them.

Personally I also like the simple design you have in your sig as well

[MyRx]

Agreed, just nitpicking .

I do like the original design (thx P for letting me use it). IMO it's busn card friendly, busn card viewed horizontally.

I agree, I don't think the needle over the shift light will look good. I'd rather leave it be (because it's less work ahaha).

how about this, anyone who wants to get a design in the poll, let's try to finalize designs by this Friday noon. Give it your best shot, if it's just a design idea rough it and if it wins we can further develop it. Send them to me or put them up here. And then we'll do a new thread with poll to start the voting. If you think you need more time and are serious about submitting an entry let me know.

From me, I will probably just have the 2 designs I've done so far, maybe with minor tweaks... LOL too many designs and I'll just lose by splitting my votes.

[finch1750]

but i like both your designs. how will i ever choose??? hahaha

[PMok]

ok here is what I think is my last revision to what I've been calling design #3. A much simpler, cleaner style that I think will translate well to stickers, t-shirts, whatever.

What significance do the colors have?

well I think generally blue is associated with Subaru and red is associated with Toyota. See their racing cars. The orange represents the Hot Lava color which is unique to Scion.

Nice

What finch said.
