Club Decal

[jscorse]

I know this is gonna raise some eyebrows, but I must ask. :rooleyes:

Can we get the link that is printed on our SVX 'Club' Decals re-pointed to THIS site? www.svxclub.com points people to the 'other' club, which I no longer wish to visit.

I think John set up the 'link' to redirect www.svxclub.com to the 'other' site.

I've now seen and missed TWO SVX's in my home town and I want to leave them a 3x5 card but it has the 'wrong' address on it as does my decal.

Can anybody help? Should we do this? I, like many others have stated but do not do, cannot look over both sites.

John Hoffman (svxcess) has already re-designed the logo on the decals to reflect the new site. He's waiting for enough interest to have another run printed. Is that interest actually here? He would also like to have the SVX printed in red, instead of black to differentiate and would like to get consensus before doing so. As far as the "business cards" go, someone had posted a template for cards on the yahoo site, where you could print them out yourself. I'm wondering of someone here has the same capabilities -- please speak up. As for the "redirection" -- that will be up to John.

Obviously.

As far as the bus. cards. Most anybody with a color (or even B/W) printer can make there own cards. Avery makes these nice little perfed sheets. They aren't quite as thick as normal cards stock though.

If we can get enough interest, I'd imagine many of us here can get a Prof. printer to do a batch.

How do we know when we have enough interest?

LOL! Savor the moment. It doesn't happen often.

What would people think about using John's design as the official logo of the Owner's Network? Just a thought. Check it out in my briefcase.

What I meant was how do we know when enough people want to change the subaru-svx link to this site?

I like AREDUBJAY's suggestion of the new decal, but still it would be quicker to get John to move the link to here.

I'll send him an email.

I would be keen to get either one of the existing (albeit modified with this sites address) stickers or alternatively, one that featured the Alycone symbol.

Just an expression of interest!

Just checked out the reworked club decals John Hoffman put together.
I liked the original ones just fine, but the "SVX" logo in red really does something for it.
What are we waiting for?

I've done a lot of thinking and...

I registered the SVXClub.com address so that the address on the window stickers didn't have to be the ridiculously long "http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/subarusvx". Subaru-SVX.net is a wonderful site and so is the Yahoo site. I'm sure there would be complaints from some of the 1,700+ members of the Yahoo club if I redirected the address to this site (which has fewer than 200 members). Plus the Yahoo site defines itself as a "club".

I have explored this site thoroughly and it is clearly stated over and over that this site is the "Subaru SVX Network". No where is it mentioned officially that this site is an "SVX club". I feel to put "club" in the web address mentioned on the decal could cause confusion between the two sites.

As this is THE Subaru SVX Network, we should refer to it as such. The decals should state "Subaru SVX Network" and the URL associated with it should be "www.subaru-svx.net". This way, by the name of the site and by the site's address, it is very clear what the site is...THE Subaru SVX Network.

I really like the SVX Club decal. But if the Subaru SVX Network decal looks identical to the SVX Club decal--except for a little color and text variation--it will muddy the distinction between these two great sites.

I PROPOSE WE design a cool-looking logo and plaster it all over this site (where the SVX logo with the lens flare is now). A distinctive logo that states clearly that this is the Subaru SVX Network. Quickly, you would immediately associate this logo with this site. The logo could then be used for the window sticker (and any publications, T-shirts, coffee mugs, pens, hats, etc.).

Let's give this site it's own identity: THE Subaru SVX Network

Since this is the SVX Network how about this logo for the design? The URLs "www.svxn.com" and "www.svxn.net" are available if we want to create this identity completely.

Hmm. good ideas/comments. I'd like to see the Font for the "N" be changed so it doesn't look like some new kind of car The SVXN...what is that?

SVX then the word Network "underneath" or something. I'm not a graphics designer but there are plenty here from what I've seen.
