Wile7 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 *arrowup* *arrowup* Are those guidelines somewhere on the 'site' Graham? The corporate colours and 'how' they can be used woud be be very beneficial to avoid folk doing their own thing. Simply doing a vinyl die cut 'logo' service might help (and create funds for the club). I have a 'new' (ie little used) Roland CAMM 1 vinyl cutting machine - and I would be willing to donate it to the club for free if it helps (as long as I got a life supply of vinyl decals) 😬 😬 Email me at toulouse7ens@yahoo.com or blatmail me if interested Dave Ardley.

nickaddison Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Guys please!!! I don't want to dampen anyone's enthusiasm either but can I reel this in slightly before people get carried away. I would rather people did not start producing their own stickers or other items bearing the club's logo without Rachael's sign-off as Brand Manager, and with something like stickers I'd like to be involved myself. The only things I would normally OK outside the Regalia range are low volume one-offs - for area stickers I'd like to have a standard design agreed where the area name can easily be changed. Area stickers are a good idea (just as Dowlis have agreed to do area versions of the Winter Jacket in batches after Dave J asked at the AOs meeting) Mav, could I see the design you're about to make up? There are a million and one people capable of creating vinyl cut stickers and if we're going to create ones of the club logo the club needs to retain control of it and not have everyone making their own! I have already had another AO do his own and present yellow vinyl samples to me and I have asked him to sit back until January when I can pick it up. We have a very big list of things to do in the new year and re-doing the sticker pack is on there, including cut vinyl versions Slapped wrist Adrian M! That's the kind of thing I'm going to do, but as Graham says if it's going on a dark background like that car there's a different version, the colour flag should never be used like that. Sorry to sound like a bit of a brand Nazi but the club needs to protect how it's image is presented - just because I have a Caterham doesn't mean it's OK for me to produce stuff using their logo, just as being members of this club doesn't mean we should all be able to use its logo unchecked. We try to be accomodating but there does need to be some control and sign-off Oh, and the old logo is the old logo - can we keep it that way please and not start re-designing it cos you don't like the new one FireBlade pilot and Regalia Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Can I just echo everything that Graham and Nick have said, if you want to use the logo, then please email me and we can discuss. There are guidelines as to how the image can be used, which is why I need to know what you are planning, so that I can ensure we are protecting the image of the club. I'm not unreasonable though and don't think I've yet had to say no to anyone. I'm off to finish my Christmas holiday now, but I'll be reading email again from Wedenesday.

JampJ Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Does that mean we can use the old logo, as long as it remains as original? Cheers J&J JFDI (Just F*****g Do It) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mav Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Nick Addison - you are most welcome to give me a call to discuss my current thinking. You can call up to 10pm most evenings, or between 8am and 10 pm at weekends. Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickaddison Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I'll give you a call Mav, but I'm trying to have some time off at the moment both from the work I get paid for and the work I don't so it might be a few days FireBlade pilot and Regalia Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickaddison Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Cheers Mav. I have just sent a massive illustrated email to my usual sticker man about a variety of things for next year. Rapid Response, I assume you're in this line of business - drop me a BlatMail if you want the same email to price up Erm John, I'd rather Mav didn't produce stickers of the old logo either FireBlade pilot and Regalia Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JampJ Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Nick, can't you get some of the old ones done at the same time as the new ones, I and a fair few other members are not keen on the new ones. I'm sure you would have a good responce. Cheers J&J JFDI (Just F*****g Do It) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 John, I'd not be looking to use the old logo at all. The logo / club branding was changed, and as a result the old logo was dropped. If you wanted anything with the old logo, you'd have to organise that yourself, in conjunction with the Brand Manager. I only asked for, and gain permission to use the new logo.

Rapid Response Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi All I think I've started something here, all I was trying to do was be constructive as I have a friend in the printing business who would have been able to possibly help us, he is away for another 8 days so if someone here can get it together then brilliant.... Whatever the logo is fine but can it definitely read 'My other car is a Caterham’? Cheers Rapid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 RR, Have a chat with Nick Addison. He is available via e-mail. Deatils for contacting him are in the front of Low Flying. He is the regalia manager, and is in the process of updating the sticker sets anyway. I personally think it is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I've been chatting to Nick via e-mail and he has come up with a basic design based on your thoughts... I must stress this is an IDEA at this stage, and is subject to change, but would appreciate some feedback. The sticker would either be in black on white, or as cut vinyl. The logo at the end is also subject to change. There are also other discussions that need to happen, before this even gets to production, so please be patient. The design is here I'll be chatting with Nick next week anyway, so some feedback on this design would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapid Response Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Wow, that looks big, my other car is a Cooper S, that sticker will cover the whole boot!! If it's for glass then should be an internal sticker instead of external....(I'm sure you know what i mean but sticky on the wording). Just my pref but would prefer Caterham instead of Seven and prefer club logo but happy to go with the majority on the logo.

mav Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Great. Thanks for the feedback. Like I say it is a work in progress, so your views are important... That picture is a photoshop based on an Elise (so small rear window). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dartmoor7 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Would prefer something more subtle than 'my other car', too much of a cliche. Jerry Parker L7 SVN 1400 Supersport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
