Orf Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Sorry Keith. No black vert, no way you can be in the family. Maybe we can use you as a hitman or something. Would I qualify for this? Technically my 'vert isn't black, but in the right lighting conditions it appears black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Would I qualify for this? Technically my 'vert isn't black, but in the right lighting conditions it appears black. I suppose so. Alloy's a close cousin to Black - but family none-the-less. Suit up - you've got deliveries to make tomorrow! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wadda ya think boss? I was thinking the same thing when this thread first went up but didn't know if "the family" would approve. As a good leader, I'll take credit if it works out and deny all if it's a complete failure. Capiche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of jackets I always wanted one of those biker gang "colors" jackets to wear on the HD but didn't want to join one of the clubs to get it. I can see it now - I'll roll into Shelbyfest with Farmdog and Joe G and we'll bust out the cigars and smoke them in front of the 3 black verts side by side wearing Jackets with screen names emrodered on the front and "Black Vert" bent over the shoulders and "Mafia" across the bottom with a Cobra in the middle. Then we just need patches and pins etc. We will be like a gated sub comminity in the Shelby world Joe - As for the beef - I'm like John Candy with the Old 96er....I'll eat the grissle (SP) too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonW Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Let's get a design going! I've designed a couple of logos for car clubs. If you guys tell me what you have in mind, maybe I can come up with something. And I can upload it to zazzle.com, and you can put it on t-shirts, mugs, all sorts of stuff.

And I can upload it to zazzle.com, and you can put it on t-shirts, mugs, all sorts of stuff. I have a few ideas. I'm thinking it may be better to go with patches so people can get the jacket they want then to put it on.?? Something the same for all of us on the back "Black Vert" over the top and "Mafia" under it since likely we won't need state rockers unless people want them then "Black Vert Mafia" over the top and the state under it. The middle will be the big club logo (like the Motor Cycle Clubs). Then we can get the screen name in the front left and get some patches for the right that is the car type "GT500" "GT" etc.....maybe open it up to others down the road (some one has to fund us). We'll have to look into setting it up as a corp for tax reasons....maybe a non-profit and we can donate any profit to a worthy cause. Then we can incorporate something like the 500, 600, 700, etc club regarding rwhp and have a patch for those on the arms & do thame for other things. By the time we're done it will be the envy of all the other colors....and the coups could never mobilize like this We'll take over the car world! If we're a corp. we can have a board meeting too on the company HAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, we're apprentices. Although I fully expect Craig Barrett and Steve Davis to get their patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, we're apprentices. Although I fully expect Craig Barrett and Steve Davis to get their patches. With out a doubt. Even a v6 black vert qualifies so 200 could be needed too. Or a twin turbo for 1000+ It would look prety cool running down the right arm like sargent stripes though IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 As a former LEO, trust me, you don't want to go there. Not sure why you say that - Is it because of attention or the effort/cost? I think as long as no states are on rockers you wouldn['t attract bad attention...and as long as there is no MC on it but you wouold know beter than me I imagine. Just curious - it's an interesting sub culture frm the reading I've done.....not one I want to be a part of but interesting none the less. At one point I looked at hooking up with the DEA for a little project but it didn't work out for me for a number of reasons...mostly $ related. As I've grown older and smarter I'm glad now.....ah to be young and single and invincible again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good. Not sure about the "you got a problem with that" but not against it either. Very nice quick work though. Would be easy to put onto a jacket I bet too. Are you thinking a big patch or something "printed" on a light coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 ALL Black Verts are in! SGT or GT500 - no difference. I like the skull and hats. Maybe mix that graphic in as a logo with the design that Jon did? I Kinda like the Motorsport part too. Maybe use that or Car Club to define what it's about a little????

JonW Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Not sure why you say that - Is it because of attention or the effort/cost? Some motorcycle clubs, and one in particular, don't like other people "appropriating" their logo. They consider the rockers with state names on them to be of their design.

JonW Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I like th3 skulls and hats, too. Can we get permission from them to use their art? And get a higher resolution piece of artwork to work with? If we want to do t-shirts, and we want them to be black, we're somewhat limited on how detailed the logo can be, since details tend to get lost on a black shirt. Here's a quick one I made up as an example. The sunburst in the logo I made previously will not show up on the black shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
