Thanks to Mr Steve Brinks (Thank you Sir) I have a contact number for Ford to ask their permission to use their Emblem when the time comes. I have also the contact here who will move our design up to Admin for their blessing.
Keep it up guys, it looks great!!
One of the things I have seen in the other Logos in their State flag is cut out by their state..or even the American Flag.. that would look sharp..

Downsea: From my experinece your assumption is correct, the more detailed the more expensive.
Pat: the state flag is cool, but very detailed. Thinking about size of the actual sticker so its not huge, it would be difficult to place on it. Now the flag is a cool idea faded inside the state outline.
I wasn't able to speak with my teammates at softball (about prices) since it was cancelled due to the cold weather. I'm also at a waiting period until my photoshop program arrives.
I'd be up to the idea of selling the stickers at a reasonable price, breaking even with the costs and then any extra from sales go to paying for the GTG's costs (food). Just an idea, that way its not a money making thing, but lowering some costs at the GTG's.

If we can get the GTG's together on a somewhat regular basis we could look into doing a 50/50 drawing to help offset and create a "bank" for the chapter. I could see eventually having the first sticker free when you join the Michigan chapter and have so many posts in the threads. Then maybe another threshold for getting a shirt with the same logo. Of course the items would be available for sale as well, at a price to cover all costs including shipping if necessary.
Right now someone would have to either front the money and wait to get it back or we would have to do a prepay before we place the order.

I tried to overlay a faded state flag in different opacities and it just doesnt' work with what I have done so far. It's way to busy and looks just nutz. All the kids are going to start showing up from noon on today so I might not have much of a chance to do much with it until Monday. Way to much going on around here for me. Maybe the state flag "v'd" off the right on a pole or something? Start another? Ideas, let 'em flow...I'm an old programmer analyst and log cutter so not real artsy. Is it like this cut out Pat?

I have some artistic ability. Good idea, but way to much going on in my opinion.
As I've got tattoo's over the years, one thing to think of is "size". Obviously the bigger it is the more detailed you can be. Smaller the size less detail it can be.
I think we as a group we have to see what size everyone want this sticker to be, and then work from there.

Looks good. But I kind of like the outlined version better, with the oval and the red lettering. Something simple.
I have no software on my computer to do this kind of thing. But what if it was to be a circle outline with "michigan chapter" accross the top and "ford truck enthusiasts" on the bottom. Could be wrapped around the outline of our state. could have a blue oval shadowed over it or behind it.
Hope someone can get a visual and bring it to life, maybe i'll go buy photoshop this weekend and play around.
