Are these the only options?

My personal input: always been a big fan of the old school look and feel. Partly why i got the Drifter to start off with as it has those old lines and big fenders. I think that is what separates us drifters from the rest of the field, that big fender. If it were me, i'd love to see a logo that highlights the front fender.  A little like the drift-in logo for Colorado. Add some old school text around it and such, kind of like in the new logos porposed "drifter". I'd keep the colours on a more neutral track. Brught colours don't work for everyone also.
Just my two cents. I realize i'm a new member here and not looking to shoot down ideas or anything. Ultimately, i think #2 is a really nice logo. Just adding some feedback from my own personal tastes which may resonate or give anyone additional ideas. Sorry i'm not a graphic artist. ;)). I'm just really happy someone is stepping up with a logo to start with. Great job.

Nope there are others and we will be making more. We can only afford a few at a time, however.  If you have a design, or design idea let me know.

BUT, you can also get these on shirts and sweatshirts at: (I'm still working on getting these on the appropriate products, might be a couple of days).

We get $2-$3 per on these, but every little bit helps keep us running!!!

Correct. Anything you order from http://www.cafepress.com/motorgear (http://www.cafepress.com/motorgear) gives us from $1 to $5 depending upon the item. Also, anything ordered from autoandmotorcycle.com.


I'm still working on getting new designs on the motorgear store so if you want something and don't see it there... let me know.

my favorite of these 3 is the last one, the round one, but maybe with only ond bike in the picture.

second choice, #2, the shield-shaped one.

However, I agree with Montreal - the more vintage looking the better.

BTW, I've been looking at tank badges, as I've mentioned before, and in my search, I found this site called letter head fonts.  www.letterheadfonts.com (http://www.letterheadfonts.com), amazingly enough.  They have a HUGE selection of custom fonts available if anyone is looking for some REALLY COOL fonts for something like this patch or whatever.  One of them is "indian2 script", I believe it's called - says it's based on the Indian script logo.  I think it's really nice.  Many others to look at, as well.  I didn't get all the details, but I think you buy their font "software" (or whatever it is you actually purchase) and install it on your photoshop program, or what-have-you.
