I have sourced somewhere I can purchase this image as either a sticker or an iron on logo. As a crafty kind of person I could use the image to produce various items myself or to order items through an online printing company eg t-shirts, mugs etc.
Some questions :
1. Are forum members happy to have a pink VW as our logo? 2. What items might people be interested in? 3. Should items be priced at a break-even price or should a small profit be included in the prices to members? 4. What should happen to any profit generated from the sale of merchandise?

I am happy with the logo. Any profits could be split between club funds and maybe donations to something like The National Trust or similar. See what others think.
Other items could be the usual Mugs, coasters, pens.
I will try and think up a few more.

I'm not sure the pink VW alone, or as it stands now, actually conveys the message of 'free motorhoming' and it could easily be mistaken as a VW group. I think it either needs a background or accompanying tag-line to reflect what the forum is about.
I'd be happy to set up a small website with online shop for ordering any merchandise as I did for MHW, if needed. It would have to wait until after Christmas because I'm trying to get a book published in the next few weeks, but I don't think there's an immediate rush bearing in mind the forum is still only a few weeks' old!

I'm happy with the pink VW. I believe you can get a purple one in that range too, it's similar to the clip art I used for the logo here. (Sorry my artwork needs tidying up a bit - I can do better but it was a bit of rush to get the forum off the ground). I'd go for a small profit which could then be used to pay a bit of time and expenses for the person organising the shop or be used for competition prizes eg Photo competition or be used to pay for ad free page views on the board (7$ for 50,000 views) Could vote to decide maybe But I always think we'd have a need for competition prizes and ad free views. Charity would be begin at home for me on this.

Personally I think it should be a white van... But I'm happy to compromise so how's about a pink transit van? ;D

Maybe when we have some funds a vote is the way to go ?

Although I far prefer trannie vans, I think nothing is more iconic and says "campervan" more than the VW shape. I agree with Kangaroo about needing to make it say more though... what about having it tootling along up and down a hill,or disappearing into the sunet /over the horizon?

I'll have a go at producing a pencil drawing of a (vw) camper along those lines, leave it with me, it might be after Christmas now, as I'm busy making all my Christmas pressies at the moment.

I would suggest that you set up an account at a promotions company - as long as they have the logo - people can order anything from them, there could be 1000's of things they could brand e.g fleeces, polo shirts, pens, mug, coasters etc. This also takes the hassle away from a member getting lots grief from other members etc for non delivery, faulty merchandise etc

We could have an open fire with a Dutch oven cooking on it, I like Vw's but you don't really associate them with Wildcamping.

I'm going to start a new thread for discussions about a logo, so that this thread can be kept for suggestions regarding merchandise.
