I swear to god I Photoshopped my own profile picture from an Eat, sleep, autocross (picture of a cone) image... but these guys have stolen my idea:

Should have patented it... but that's alright the price is not too bad. Anyone wants to buy a couple of these? If not I'm buying myself one haha.

That's Indiana's RX8 club... I guess we both got the idea from the same Eat, Sleep, Autocross sticker.

For those of you haven't seen the Facebook page, we are going to print a limited number of window decals for the club... it's going to be similar to the Vancouver Subaru Club ones that you have most likely seen (~3x4). I asked people to get creative and come up with some logos / ideas. Here are two that I came up with. For the second one, I'm thinking either a transparent one or one that you apply and take off with the letters / shapes staying on.

My Logo

Hello Ben,

I do a little design too. I also have a PHP web space if anyone is interested in building a new site on it. Please review my work. Your valuable comment and feedback are much appreciated.

Vincent, I like the logo but I would change where the words are placed... they look kind of random. Something clean and simple would be easier to print as well... also, I will need a vector file to send to the printer.

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for not updating you guys about the website. I purposely avoided this site after my car was totaled last December... just didn't want to think about it anymore.

Anyway, the car was finally paid out by ICBC a couple months back and we decided to get a new Nissan Murano. Although it's a nice SUV, I missed driving the 8, so I've been looking around the past couple of weeks for a used one as a second/weekend car. Can't believe how cheap they are now... which is good for me! Hopefully I'll find a decent one before the end of Summer.

Vincent, if you're still a go for the website, let me know and I can get that going. Thanks.

Here are a couple of quick ideas for the decals. Based on the old BCRX8 decal, I just "jazzed" it up a bit.

hey beanbaxter sorry to hear for your loss on the rx8 but yeah u should get another one and theres tons for sale around there for sure! have u joined our facebook group?

btw I like ben's logo so far now sorry vince haha Ben the 2 more ideas you posted I like the first one out of the 2 but it would look better if the car was takin out of the way and the Vancouver rx8 moved up to the center then it would like much better in my opinion!

beansbaxter sorry to hear about your car... Same thing happened to my miata and I know how it feels. Having the RX8 as a fun car (track car for me) is great... it's cheaper for me to have two cars than to run just the 8. Also, I don't have to worry about my good car getting scratched etc.

We have some nice logos here but I think we should go with a black and white or a mono-color design as it would be easier and cheaper to make.

Nab, I'll try what you suggested and post it.

The Subaru club has a few options but I would rather do a nice consistent one for everyone.

Well the rotary brings the kid out of me
Reminds me of when I span around for hours to get dizzy... no pre-mixing required... although my brain must have a few worn out apex seals.

I can always change the font if we decide which one we are going with.

New Logo

All of you have really good taste. I have rearranged all the elements, perhaps you will like the new layout.

The size is 3 x 4. I value your comments.
