What do you guys think about a chrome car badge like this but with the Xfi logo in about 1.5 inches, as part of the membership?

I could definitely have those made. I don't know pricing right now but I know that vacuum metallizing parts is pretty cheap if you do it in quantity. Does anyone have the original artwork for the XFi logo/decal we have now? If someone has that in a vector art format like illustrator .ai or .eps that would be awesome and I could probably put it into STEP fairly easily to add depth to it. Let me know what I can do if anything.

I have a database for prospective members who want to join and they have never addressed previously where do I send it?

Sorry for my absence the new job is very demanding on travel and time... But things are going exceptionally well!

Great.......now I gotta figure out how to remove the old logo from under my wing.



I imagine people from Atlanta will REALLY like the new logo.

I'm checking with a company that can make them, but has a minimum of 300 pc. I have the are work in PDF form from when I did the banners. Will that work for you?

I like the current one, but am open about changing it. We can always have a contest. Have some members submit their rendition and put it up for vote. You guys open to that?

How radically do you want it changed?

I rendered this in autocad for the website...

It was the part of the "American Idol" style animation update I did for the intro.

EDIT:

The only problem with having something like "eagles head" is you need one facing right and one facing left, so they face the same direction on opposite sides of the car... And that is a cost issue...

What if we use something like a hightech optical recticle an put a more fluid version of the original logo in the middle - with rounded edges?

I like the chrome badge idea FP, I think we should keep the current logo.

To be honest, I find the current logo nice looking enough, but too difficult to actually read unless you're familiar with it. It's a bit too busy for me.

Personally, I'd prefer a logo that is clean, crisp, and uses the Crossfire font.

I'm not even totally sold on the idea of using an X instead if a C.

Something like ICE.... International Crossfire Enthusiasts

I don't know.

The "Atlanta Hawk/falcon" emblem wouldn't be bad if it were 3 dimensional.

I think a flat type of sticker would be a little off though.


EDIT: it's not a Atlanta logo it reminds me of.....it's the Iowa Hawkeyes.........see link below.

That was just an example. You're right, it the Hawkeyes. The place I'm checking them out have a number of team ready made. This was just for illustration, not to suggest an eagle for us.

Gotcha........

I was under the impression that was the proposed new logo, I think a few others thought the same thing.


Couldn't have used the U of M logo?

Yes, A PDF will work if it isn't an embedded image. If it is, then I'll have to make it from scratch but that won't be too hard. PM sent with my email address so you can send it to me.

DUDE!!! You just saved me a tone of work. Looks like you are pretty proficient in AutoCAD. If I were to send you layered vector art files and bevel information, would you bee able to put them together in AutoCAD?
