I didn't know Chuck had asked us to work on changing his logo. What did I miss??? :confused:

WoofsPlow

11-12-2003, 12:49 PM

What's the logo look like now?

JCurtis

11-12-2003, 12:51 PM

BRL,

I think they are suggesting something that lends itself more easily to advertising items such as T-Shirts and Sweatshirts, hats, decals etc.

We are proud of this site and would somehow like to increase the ways of getting this place as well know as .... well you know !

:greenange

I think the Chevy logo is fine. If you are talking about T-shirts and stuff to wear for advertising this site than I would agree that a different logo maybe needed...but I will leave that decision to Chuck

BRL

11-12-2003, 01:12 PM

Oh OK. I thought Chuck had made a post somewhere asking for us to do some design chages for him ;)

Woofsplow,
The banner at the top left has been Chuck's logo for his site for years. But I see where you guys are coming from, that it might be hard to put that on shirts when the time comes. We'll see if changes come.

BWhite

T shirts or something ironon would be nice . I would wear it to the upcoming N.E Snow and Ice show . That should help with the already great membership !!!

sonjaab

11-12-2003, 01:40 PM

How about T-shirts ?????? lol

I think GM would be pissed and want some
serious $$$$$$ for using the Chevy bowtie
on anything..............geo

BWhite

11-12-2003, 02:07 PM

Yes , Shouldnt do that without there permission . They have lots of lawyer types

How's this? Just a quickie, any suggestions?

11-12-2003, 03:28 PM

it is so quick that I cant see it

JohnnyU

11-12-2003, 03:47 PM

How about this? I just worked on yours a little. I think the Red blade looks better :shades2

JohnnyU

11-12-2003, 03:56 PM

How about this one?

CNY Joe

11-12-2003, 04:05 PM

I like the third one so far.

Now we can read it, it was too small.

CNY Joe

11-12-2003, 04:14 PM

I stand corrected I like the fourth one:D

wyldman

11-12-2003, 04:20 PM

If you use a Blizzard,it might all fit on one line. :D

BWhite

11-12-2003, 04:36 PM

THe last one looks good . Nice graphics work

Crimedog

11-12-2003, 04:41 PM

Here is a little revision

JohnnyU

11-12-2003, 05:04 PM

That looks good Matt!

Crimedog

11-12-2003, 05:29 PM

Here's another version-Snowybowtie, yours are looking great, too:cool: Maybe chuck will pick one of ours:D

Plower737

11-12-2003, 05:38 PM

I like the fourth one the best so far.

Adams Plowing

11-12-2003, 08:29 PM

I think the 4th one looks about the best sofar

Big Nate's Plowing

11-12-2003, 08:54 PM

4th was "almost" good enough, I gave this one my stamp of approval:shades

JCurtis

11-13-2003, 04:18 AM

These are some very nice designs, I think we are heading in the right direction, maybe a few more guys can develop a couple of ideas.

Then if and when Chuck decides that he would like to authorize one design we can look into Shirts, be they T-shirts or Sweats.

:shades :D

WoofsPlow

11-13-2003, 04:18 AM

Maybe we can come up with 3 or 4 choices and then have a poll to vote on which one looks best to us. What does Chuck think?

campi

11-13-2003, 04:32 AM

I agree, let show a few more logos, and if ok by chuck, maybe we could take a poll?? unless chuck comes up with one, just a thought!!! Campi !!!!

Roger Dodger

11-13-2003, 04:35 AM

They all look pretty good but for some reason I favor this one! I can't imagine why?

snowplowjay

11-13-2003, 04:52 AM

Well I was just fooling around and came up with one.

JCurtis

11-13-2003, 04:55 AM

Nice one Jay, but difficult to put on shirts I would think!

Adams Plowing

11-13-2003, 05:02 AM

Lol roger you have the blade color and logo all wrong... it needs to be red :burnout

Actually i was thinking more along the lines of Boss :D But i can live with it aslong as it isnt yellow... Wouldnt want people to think we were useing meyers blades... lol

Roger Dodger

11-13-2003, 06:05 AM

Sorry pals but, my blood runs yellow!

JohnnyU

11-13-2003, 06:24 AM

Guys Becareful about adding the copyrighted logos of other companies, even plow manufacturers, I think they would want something in return if we wanted to use their logo. Plus we don't want to discriminate against any company, that even makesit tough to find a suitable color for the blade without showing favor to one company over another...

WoofsPlow

11-13-2003, 06:39 AM

How about orange.

Roger Dodger

11-13-2003, 08:27 AM

SnowyBowtie,
It's just out of fun, I don't think others are serious. As for my ink-blot, I look at it like this:
At the "other" forum site, The Fisher Rep never mentioned ill of it since it wasn't plastered on merchandise or attached to a private business label. It's free advertising for them afterall!

JohnnyU

11-13-2003, 08:35 AM

I know its all in jest, just as long as we don't get set on a design that includes some copyrighted image. Besides, Chuck has the final say, he hasn't even said anything about it at all yet.:beatsme

I just wanted to make sure nobody gets in trouble, as someone said, "they have lots of those lawyer types"

BWhite

11-13-2003, 08:52 AM

They may give permission .....

BRL

11-13-2003, 08:54 AM

Gonna be funny if we find out that he might have his own logo all ready set up the way he wants. All this good work for nothing :headwall :D

I wonder how many people sit around in internet MB's and design unsolicited new logos for your companies also LOL. :eek: That might be what you find at graphic arts MBs "hey members, look at this logo I just saw, don't you think it would look better like this?:" LOL
:rockon

Progrounds

11-14-2003, 03:36 AM

I vote for the fourth one. Red is a nice color. lol. Beats yellow.

Roger Dodger

But, yellow is more visible in the dark and it clears snow better!;)

WoofsPlow

11-14-2003, 05:16 AM

I think orange would be the "safest" color.

mikegamb

11-15-2003, 02:53 PM

hey no lights on these plows boys.i would like to see the front of a ford f250 or a chevy 2500 behind those plows.then make them with all different color plows.i mean since theres fisher meyers and western guys on here,but then again what about blizzard plows hhhhmmmmmmmmmm i guess we can just leave them out lol j/k :D

Plow Dak

11-15-2003, 03:04 PM

I kinda like what's online now.... and blow one half of it up for tee-shirts.. ?? Tee-shirts, I ment sweat shirts, mmm, Parkas ???:beatsme LOL

Honest Mike

11-15-2003, 03:10 PM

Nice designs guys. I like them all, but I favor red for some odd reason. :rolleyes: I too would like it to be a complete plow, possibly attached to some sort of vehicle, preferably a truck of some sort! :D Then it would look so much better than just a moldboard sitting there. Just my oppinion. Mike

kawdude

11-15-2003, 03:17 PM

Hey mike, whats that mean in your signature "SLP car" ? Slow lane passable?

I like the red design myself.:D

snowplowjay

11-15-2003, 04:25 PM

SLP as I know it is a performance company that has parts for Camaros, Firebirds, Montes, and even Rangers and S10's.

Look for their website to check em out.

Jay

Honest Mike

11-15-2003, 09:32 PM

Kawdude, you were close, it stands for Street Legal Performance. They are the guys that take normal Z28's and turn them into SS's and take normal Trans Am's and turn them into Firehawk's. Their web site as I know it is www.slpeng.com. Mike :)

Dodgetrucks.org (http://www.dodgetrucks.org) (shameless plug, sorry) that I go to has an online store at Cafepress (http://www.cafepress.com) where you can buy shirts and stuff promoting the website, maybe something to look into, they charge a base price for the items and then you set the markup, they make the shirts as they are purchased, so you don't have a minimum to buy either. If a store were set up I would buy something:D

Hey mike SLP now sells parts for mustangs too:headwall

i guess they had to ,too stay in bussiness

since gm s out of the performance buss. (corvettes dont count)

11-16-2003, 06:12 AM

How bout' some of those logos you boys have got above but on a V plow,maybe with the headgear and lights.

Honest Mike

11-16-2003, 07:15 AM

Sno-Mover, thats weird, I didnt know that. I guess it makes sense though, since GM discontinued the Camaro and Firebird line for 2003. Sad to say, but 2002 was the last year for all the F-body cars. :( Mike :burnout

mikegamb

WoofsPlow

12-15-2003, 04:18 AM

Has anybody given any thought to a logo for this site? Something that would look good on a shirt. Has anybody consulted Chuck on this? New logo on plopsite.com

festerw

12-15-2003, 04:26 AM

There's a thread here (http://www.snowplowing-contractors.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=97&highlight=logo) you started it remember:scramble

brodymon

12-15-2003, 05:48 PM

I really like the 4th one as well
What about at the bottom of it, it says :
Where the pros drop their blades
Just a thought.

Chuck Smith

12-15-2003, 05:55 PM

I'm not ready to announce it yet, but we will need a new logo shortly. We have something in the works..... ;)

Thanks Pelican. Chuck, look forward to seeing the design, everything you do on and for this site and the members is always first rate.

Chuck Smith

12-20-2003, 08:47 PM

Well, what I did for now is register a new .com address that points to this domain. I might change that in the future, but for now, it will take people to the main Snowplowing-Contractors.com page. Hopefully they can find this Forum from there easily enough.

The new domain is:

www.LetsTalkSnow.com

That will fit on hats, shirts, etc. Those will be coming soon. I need to come up with a logo too.

I will keep you all posted. :burnout

~Chuck

JohnnyU

12-20-2003, 09:04 PM

That sounds cool Chuck. Let us know when the shirts and hats are available, I will order one of each!!pimp

Yea Chuck let us know :)

And if you get a Fred Pickering style hat im sure it will be a BIG hit.

Honest Mike

12-21-2003, 10:29 AM

Sounds good to me also Chuck. I will definitely buy a hat and shirt if you have them made up. I didnt buy any when they had them made on PS for some reason, I just had a weird feeling that something wasnt right. Now Im glad I didnt buy any, but for this site, hell yea Ill buy one! I hope you can come up with a nice logo. I think it should definitely include a truck and plow or some sort of machine with a blade or pusherbox, pushing snow. Just my oppinion. :cool: Whatever you decide to do, we will like it, even if we have to lie! :D Mike ;)

"www.letstalksnow.com"

I love the idea of writing it on a plow.

That lets people know it's a "snow & ice management" site" & not some weather or winter sports related site.

Chuck Smith

10-02-2007, 10:05 PM

Soooooo, it's been a long time, and it seems that you all want to see a new logo. So what are the suggestions now?

~Chuck

windmill

10-02-2007, 10:12 PM

It's late i know, so I'm not thinking clearly, but how about a bikini clad lady in six feet of snow with a snow shovel. No wait, if she's in six feet of snow all we'll see is white. Let me sleep on it. :)

GuzmanProperties

10-03-2007, 06:28 AM

Here is a little revision

I like this one, but could you change the plow to one of those beefy ones you see on the Oshkosh rigs? Big at one side and angles down to the other side...

Mark Oomkes

10-03-2007, 06:38 AM

Along the lines of Henry's suggestion, how about a pic of 1eye2 driving the Mystery Machine with Ginger looking out the windshield next to him? :grinz :rolling :rolling

denangme

10-03-2007, 11:43 AM

Ok, picture this: An arial view of a big parking lot with the words "let's talk snow" and it being underlined. At the end of the underline is the truck/plow that did it. Or vice versa, make the words and the underline out of the snow the truck plowed? Heck, I don't know, it's been a looong day........:huh
