....

Consider this, people:

You're on the road and you see another GTI/Golf or tastefully modded Octy or Cupra (that rules a lot of you out  :evilgrin:).. You can instantly recognise that 3-strip logo from a distance without having to climb into the other car's boot to read whether it says Mk5GolfGTI.co.uk or GTIGolf.co.uk or whatever.

Pass a car going in the opposite direction and you'll recognise it as another member at a glance.

Recognise it on a car at a distance in a car park.. Need I say more?

The biggest issue I have is the long URL. Is it not possible to have a shorter URL that then forwards to this one?

A shorter URL would also make it easier to style into a badge.

I completely see RR's POV. A characteristic design that means you can spot another forumite from a distance. Or perhaps a forum
mascot with the website underneath?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

....A very wise move to be able to spot a forumite at a distance and then be able to keep your distance!

^^^I didn't need anyone to tell me that's a mite. But it's not a forumite!  :signLOL:

....

A passing thought:

How about simply rotating the VC logo 90º so it no longer has the 'sarge' associations for some people? It would still remain as highly visible and distinctive.

But still change the stencil font because that has strong military associations.

>>> : could look quite dynamic, particularly if you slightly italicised it: >>>

Both right pointing and left pointing versions to be available? Sell in pairs? (left and right hand sides of car).

....Whichever forum sticker we end up with, not everyone will be happy with its design. Unfortunately it's virtually impossible to satisfy everyone's tastes and desires.

P.S.- VC, who I think handles sticker production and supply, recently went through a period when he was incapacitated. We are all extremely relieved that his health is now largely restored, or at least becoming so. He'll always be a bit crazy though, and we love him for it.

I like that and would defo be buying one.
Only thing i would mention is the upside down .co i think its maybe your design flair just going little overboard.

I like the fact that it immediately shows who you are as a forum,unlike someone having to read the original sticker whilst on the move for e.g..I do agree with others on the font but as a design I,m happy with the way VC is thinking on a logo theme..Maybe as a collective we could come up with design for just a logo rather than the whole URL.A bit like VC,s cherrys sticker,I see that somewhere i,ll know its him.. :rolleye:

What about a Monza Wheel in black with a red GTI in the middle then  the forum address round the tyre?

Could do an edition 30 one with a pescara as well.

Rather than only say i dont like previous designs, I thought id contribute my own ideas.



What about something like that?

Bear in mind, its only supposed to outline the concept. Colours, sizing etc is all still TBC as it were! ;)

your thoughts plz?  :popcornsoda:

I like that I would buy one of them  :happy2:

Think the MK5 bit would have to link into the rest a bit better though to look best  :smiley:
