The idea is that it shouldn't stand out, creating a succesful forum is all about subtleness. Take Honda-Tech for example.


yea rides change.. skylines are played out too..


i mean.. the gauges.. they get used in SOOOOOO many logos ive seen..

isnt there soemthing else care related that could be chosen and incorporated?


im not saying it as an asshole.. just being constructive.

WTH you doing in a small place like Pt Col?
My mom lives there. Also the soil is now deemed alright. Almost doubled the appriased value of my mom's house over the summer.

Back on topic I think the logo is fine for the website. However agree that it will be difficult to reproduce it in decal form. Also Skylines being played out is something you will only hear on VM.

I understand that you are not saying it to be an asshole, but if you have a constructive suggestion, then please do post it, but saying you dont like it isnt constructive, suggesting what should replace it is.

I don't mind the guages, but in fairness how bout some gunmetal rims with polished lip and tread? Or maybe a set of "VM" subs? Be hard to tell they are subs, but who knows?

I tried aswell. It seems to just overwrite what you already have. I dont think you can add more than one car on a single account.

That is the correct response, but you failed to say "What is", you will not get the $1000

But wouldn't that be going around in circles? subs and wheels can be considered played out too.

I'm sure someone will stumble upon a very unique idea, the good thing is that VM has never stuck with 1 colour scheme or logo ?for more than a year?.

My suggestion would be to keep it simple and sticker-compatible:

Here's an example of why logos dont really make or break a forum/club.



214724 users, 1792691 threads, 24305543 posts.

The way it is right now is fine.. however, I'd like to see sticker version of it.

That HT post count climbs so fast due the number of members who chill 24/7 in the GDD haha. 5 pages of new stuff per day.

I wouldn't mind seeing the sticker version..

I didn't think GDD posts counted...but maybe that's only for individual users.

This logo can easily be printed in sticker format using digital printing on vynil.
I've seen it done by other clubs already, and it can definetlly look sharp.
