Hi Scott and list:
What do you think of getting some kind of vehicle ID made up? I mean a
bumper sticker (not wonderful), a front license plate plaque like the old
European rally plates, a grille or badge bar badge, or something of this
sort. Even a decent looking windshield sticker might be nice.
Is there anyone on the list that might like to undertake such a project? I
would agree to distribute them to our club (110 members) and would even
consider looking into producing something if there were enough interest.
It might be a great way to commemorate our first, hopefully annual, event.
I would imagine that the design should include the SOL logo and some
descriptive caption. Anyone interested? Does anyone have any expertise
they could put to use re: design, execution, production and distribution?
Let's hear what you think
