So who wants bragging rights? (important new info in first post!)

I'm seeing Corey's 'Wing' design as shoulder patches on my jacket or on the sides of my helmet.   

[corey]

haha you and me both man! the would make SWEEEEET patches. Big AND small!
Not a bad key fob either!

I would get this sucker tatooed on my left ass cheek if it wasn't so damn hairy!

Well, as promised... Here is a logo standards layout, and a web shot, as well as a t-shirt possibility (by no means final).



If the image is too big to view in the forum, check it out here:

I have actually put some serious time into this, i hope some of you guys like it 

I like these alot but how about some Red and Green  to make them  a bit more bold !

That is definitely cool Corey.  You have my vote!

The little red Ducati simple reminds me of "the red dot" <salutes>

All suggestions will be taken into consideration if this sucker gets picked after the vote
I need to get back to doing REAL work for now  I can pretty much make this thing any color we would want, but the red and green really don't fit so hot on top of this slate gray/blue background we have here on the page. On a white T-shirt? yea it would look awesome. But here? Eh, its okay...

m1, do you have any objection if I borrow one of your images for a business card/flyer to hand out at the local 696 open house events?  Seems like this type of event may get the forum some exposure to new riders.

Might be a good idea to run that idea by our flounders

[corey]

indeed. incosistency = BAD. getting the card/flyer, then coming to the site, and not seeing whats on said flyer could be disastrous. wait it out until we get one nailed down methinks.

Heh, I'd hardly say "disastrous"...

Sure if we were Apple or Enron we'd be insisting on complete compliance with our corporate style guide, but our dislike of corporateness is largely why we're here... What you've done there Corey is _uber_ professional - it's _great_, and I'd expect to see a several thousand dollar invoice for it in a commercial setting.

We're just a bunch of bikers who hang out on a web forum though, I'd be perfectly happy to have people handing out hand drawn business cards colored in with crayon if that's what they wanted to do... There's a lot about this place that "just happened" rather than came about as part of a carefully considered branding plan - did you know we (well, Statler) actually own the domain name ducatimonsterforum.org (and .com)? We only ended up starting out on ducatimonsterworldwide.org 'cause that's the one ducpainter had at his disposal when he went and paid for a hosting account.

What I'm saying, I guess, is don't worry too much about consistent branding, and _certainly_ don't worry about the flounders getting upset 'cause you publicised this place using your own images or logos. When we've got something that you lot have agreed and voted on, we'll try and make it available in every useful form so you can just as easily print cards up on your own inkjet as you can sending the image to cafepress or spreadshirt to get your own versions of our tshirts made up.

cheers,

big

nuff said sorry, sometimes the designer takes over and i can't control it! hah.
