Even though I'm in Ga, I voted I like the 2nd one due to it's refined look compared to the other choices. First one looks out of proportion with the images protrayed in the logo, kind of garish with the SoFla logo part overpowering the entire image. 3rd and 4th one, no comment other than I didn't even consider them whatsoever. I look at the last one and think "Jimmy Buffet club" for some reason. I like Jimmy Buffet and every time we go to Fla we listen to it on the way down to get into the mood of going on vacation to get away but don't know if that applies to everyone that sees the emblem and what they would take from it.

Val,
You need to get your facts correct, I was at meet, I paid $5 bucks and brought 10 bags of ice. and you send this note. Dude, we talked on phone and I was at park already! You are so wrong, but I will not keep quite if you talk crap about me that's not true. And your "members can go to my meets if they choose, I don't think you own them.. I welcome all to a drama free zone, but you making fun a man that was hit buy a car in front of me is wrong! shows no class. and you seem to make up lies about not getting note with key chains sent to you.. So sir. Did you ever choose the best 1st gen best 2nd gen and best 3rd gen at the meet? as you agreed you would???

below is note you sent..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, you failed to show up to my Ft Lauderdale - Markham Park meet... but I guess it was too far away from home since you also live in Ft Lauderdale.

Let me guess? Some other old guy got hit by a car while walking his dog right ?

and it just so happens that it was in front of your house correct ?

Oh Im sorry... I should have been watching the news coverage on TV and I would have seen your red 1st gen behind it...

Give me a fu***n' break... You are a loser !

I dont need any favors from you... nor do I want to be associated with you... nor will anyone that I know of will do business with you ... You are not worth it.... You are not a man of your word.

This will be the last PM, email or contact I will have with you.

Good riddance,

Val

I had a great time, and met really cool people, then to get this note from you, Val, again you get a A for effort in putting group to gather, but a F in your actions with me! I will speak the truth and post all our emails if you try to bash me with false facts or parts of e-mails and not the whole thing.

 

Ftlaud (Tommy),

This is a poll... not a forum page to vent your frustrations.. have a little class and reserve those comments for another time... capisce ?

val

 

Tim...
thank you for your comment and critique... that was funny what you said about Jimmy Buffet...

Thanks for participating in this poll...
Val

 

Here's my suggestion on the logo....
Number 2 is the nicest looking one. I would recommend that the second phrase on the lower left (South Florida RX7 Club) be removed as the club name is already stated in bold on the top portion. Then the "Rotor" symbol should be relocated towards the bottom right area of the state as the first logo in the smaller size that it is displayed on logo 2. Hope this helps
L8R

 

I Think That For Now Num 2 Is The Best One But It Would Look Better If We Had A Backround Of Ocean Drive With The Nice Hotels And A 1st, 2nd 3gen And Rx8 In The Front. That Would Be Cool. ALSO WE CAN HAVE OUR OWN FORUM NAMES ON THE T-SHIRTS ON THE BACK WITH OUR OWN RX7 WICH IN MY CASE WOULD BE RX7THEONE AND ON THE BOTTOM THE THIRD GEN. IT MITE BE A LITLE MORE EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH IT.

 

But here's the thing, you really don't need the the state of Florida in any of those logos. As soon as I'm able to get the picture that I want to get, then I'll do my concept. But overall, you really don't need it. I can understand the point of having the state in them, but you don't want it to be too simple. As far at the current selection goes, the 2nd one is my choice.

 

Please vote on your choice....

 

I can't really vote. I can only give you a suggestion.

 

well i voted for 3 but if you took the last one and removed the palm trees and just had the center part that would be simple and to the point. I just think that some one will want a sticker made for the back glass or something. would be easy to make and print. faded BGs are a bit harder to do.. mayb not really but might cost more if you wanted signs printed up. personaly i would go with something really simple and to the point.

 

+1

 

Yes, you can vote... the reason is because I have been talking to a guy named Tony who lives in Orlando and wants to set up a Central Florida chapter to branch off from the SOFLA RX-7 CLUB

The design more than likely will be the same.. the only difference will be the CENFLA RX-7 CLUB and the Rotor will move to the center of the State of Florida.

So your VOTE matters and it is important... as well as your idea on the design.. Carlos told me that you had contacted him or vice versa.

Val

 

Your ideas are valid and I welcome them with the exception of having the background of Ocean Drive and the deco hotels.. Reason being is that SOFLA RX-7 CLUB will cater to the 3 counties Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach so it would not be right for us to have that as a background. It would be unfair for those that live in other areas north of us.

I sure would like for Directfreaks input on this one.. he is well respected in this community and I value what he has to say. The guy thinks with a clear mind and perspective.

I think the idea of having the forum name on some part of the t-shirt may be nice but not too large... its my opinion that it would look a bit ghetto and who knows it would make me an easier mark for some sharpshooter hitman to get to me

 

I am working with the president of the SoCal RX-7 club to get a
large, clear copy of the logo, so everyone could see what Iam referring to.

There is a small copy of it on the bottom right of this picture.


Right over the word "Mazda". It looks muuuch better in person.
It is a nice design, that uses Mazda's new "rotor" style logo as well.




Again, I am trying to get what I was referring to. It's a nice simple
logo, that can't be confused with anything else.

Not to mention, it's already been adopted by other RX-Clubs along
the west coast, for nice easy recognition.

 

I REALLY DONT THINK ITS UNFAIR AT ALL THE HOTTEST PLACE IN MIAMI IS SOUTH BEACH. EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT SOUTH BEACH IF THERE WAS A CHOICE OF HOW NICE THE BACKROUND WOULD LOOK THERE REALLY WOURENT BE ANY COMPETITION. ITS NOT ABOUT NORTH WEST OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT WERE NOT A GANG.ITS ABOUT AN RX7 CLUB AND MIAMI.WE CAN ALSO JUST PUT THE CAR GENERATIONS IN FRONT WITH A NICE BACKROUND IN KEY BISCANE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.ROGER.

 

IT LOOKS PREATY COOL BUT I WOULD WANT THE NUM 7 IN THERE IT JUST DOSENT LOOK COMPLETE. BUT BESIDES THAT ITS OK.ROGER.

 

I normally dont complain but turn off the call capital letter in your posts...it's annoying and there's no need for it. Use it when your trying to STRESS the importance of what your trying to state.

Good luck with the logo, sounds like your on the right track and it will help organize the club better to have it's own identity. Also is it for only 7's or can the new 8's be a part, what about the old school 3's etc? Is there a rx-8 club already in the southern Florida area?

Tim

 

Alex..
I like it...
I cropped it out just to see it... well i like it... but do you think it should have the 7 in it also.. that is what i think... but we will leave it up to everyone to vote on it... I am going to ask Carlos to do it up on Adobe Illustrator .. to replicate it...



Thanks for coming thru with it... its a good addition to the poll once it is formatted to be shown.

Val

 

SORRY IF ITS ANNOYING BUT I DO IT TO STAND OUT AND BE DIFERENT. AS FOR THE RX8S YES WE HAVE A FEW IN THE CLUB ALLREADY.

 

On the second entry, try to move the rotor downstate, as right now it focuses the viewer's attention on North Florida.

 

I dont know how to use photoshop too well... but its my best attempt... check it out...

 

In the AOL environment is interpreted as YELLING!!

So I see his point.. instead you can emphasize by using bold letters... but no caps please... I too find it a tad annoying.. plus.. Roger.. you already stand out anyway... anymore and you would jump off the page.. you know what im sayin'



Anyway its good to see that you are getting more involved with the forum....

 

STOP SCREAMING AT ME..

I understand about the Miami thing.. it would have been fine if the club was going to be called "MIAMI RX-7 CLUB" but now its not.. so we have to roll with it ... in other words, it is now the SO FLA RX-7 CLUB which is Tri-County (Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) so yes its an RX7 Club and Ft Lauderdale and Boca... not just Miami ... capisce ?

Do this.. make the design... and we will post it and then have people vote on it... if the people like it then we will know... get to work.. you got homework now Roger.

 

i understand wat roger is saying about having the 3 generations in the front i agree.. ever since every1 has been talking about making designs having the 3 generations in the front was 1 of the main things but i havent seen any yet... i think if we would add that to the logo it would complete it
