I noticed our chapter has no badges or design. Im a graphic designer by hobby and i couldn't resist the temptation to put something together exclusively for our Florida chapter. I put a watermark on it until ford aproves my request to use their logo.
809taino, I for one like it. I especially like the inside, but maybe thinking the border is a little wide. I do like the 3D look as well.
Your right, That was a little wide. How's this?
also any visible pixels will be smoothed out when finalized in my vectors
software. It would be high resolution with a light shine.
this is a jpeg image at low rez. Just a sample.
There may be an issue with releasing this as a sticker to sell do to copyrights of the ford logo. But I mean it's actually promoting ford. So it's free advertising for them.
I would love to give them away for free but I have to take in account the ink, sticker paper and shipping. About $3.50.
I think it would be a great way to gain more members to the site and get more people asking questions about the chapter. Ford also has something to gain since we're promoting them as well.
I'll just have to wait and see what the chapter leader thinks of the whole idea.
Ford logo for sticker permission request from ford. Waiting on approval.

I emailed ford about the use of their logo to put on a sticker and they quickly replied with this..

I submited a CLUB/ENTHUSIAST PERMISSION REQUEST to use the logo and I should hear something from them in 5-7 buisness days.
When They approve i'll be making one for any chapterleader that requests a sticker for their chapter.
I am just throwing this out there, but I would lean towards a consistency for the overall look for the FTE site and make the inside unique for each chapter with the state outline or what you may have for the state license plates.
