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

[Geaux]

Heads up guys...

We (the web geek team and the flounders) are discussing the possibility of switching domains from

www.ducatimonsterworldwide.org to www.ducatimonsterforums.org

it seems to me everyone's already decided to call this place the "DMF", and since one of us (Statler) owns ducatimonsterforums.org it seems much more appropriate, so if we can work out a way to switch everything we've got so far to the new domain we'll probably do it....

Maybe this has been discussed already, but does it matter that TOB is also calling itself

Ducati Monster Forums: Ducati Monster Motorcycle Forum

and using meta tags containing "ducati monster forum" to bump itself to first result when googled, whereas DMWw is currently sixth?  Will that affect what we call this place?  I mean, whatever we change the name to might be manipulated to TOB's advantage again, so what's the point in running; ...just OWN it? (or PWN it)  That sort of thing?

There are some really great logo's here

but I'll tell you

my first impression of this plate was Mitt's half of a clutch plate

and I really think that it should be the basis of the new logo

for me it has stuck

Something like this?

mmakay can you make that clutch plate into a Dynamic D just for kicks?

RE:Domain
I think DMF (ducatimonsterforum.org) is better.

It has a nice ring to it.
It is catchy.
Everyone is already calling themselves DMFers
Most of the designs are using DMF.

And last but not list when someone is searching for a "ducati monster forum", it makes it a fairly safe bet their going to click on us.

.02 from me to you.

I like the idea of ducaitmonsterforums.org

I'll leave that to others.  Here's why:
  a) I like my own logo   
  b) I don't think it's a good idea to play with trademark infringement. 

I think the board should use a logo that instantly says "Monster" (hello? trellis frame?) without relying on Ducati logos.  I also think it should be all-inclusive, which is why I'm on the fence about the clutch plate.  Some of us have wet-clutches, so that doesn't mean much to us...

Three more for the clutch plate fans







I will do some t-shirts/stickers later

The wet clutch looks the same, just oil bathed right?

I really like the first one, but the double line font just doesn't make me think monster.

Right, I agree.  I like how the url  "ducatimonsterforum.org" is very clear about its purpose.  It almost makes "ducatimonster.org" seem vague and without direction.  (no offense intended)

My vote is for "ducatimonsterforum.org"

(sorry about continuing the threadjack but I didnt see a url voting thread.)
