flipside~(stupid question): what does LGW stand for? If we can do it, then why dont we? Should we create new thread to formally get the ball rolling? I think it'd be best to get a head count of how many So Cal CL'ers actually would put their money where their mouth is, get a design, then see how much it'd cost?

Dave, would you happen to have pictures of what the old merchandise look like?

Another thing if t-shirts go through is to have our CL ID on the front so it can worn at the CL meetings Just a thought. Sorry if anyone mentioned this earlier.

LGW (Lexus Gone Wild).

Logo design for the SoCal section is a start. There can be no use of the Lexus "Circle L" or the font type even if it's available on windows as a font style. The Logo and font are actually trademarked by Lexus. We can do it, but everyone always talks about making one and it never happens. I'm happy to work with anyone that is willing to step up and move forward with a design.

When I joined, I recall the CL merchandise that was available. Prices were fair given the quality....why I didn't buy at the time...

I'd welcome the opportunity for such apparel be available. In past items, I recollect the generous nature of the organizers to refund so in the end, the club lost out. I'd be interested in a polo style so long as it doesn't reach Tommy Bahamas price levels. $100-$120 is more than my willingness to spend. $30-$60 is seems a modest amount and what I currently buy in polo style shirts.

Well I would be interested in stickers and a shirt!

I was bored and I'm not too sure of the status of the other design, and I thought I would have a go at a couple quick thoughts at a logo design. Not what I do normally (generally I do illustration, concept and 3d work) but Its an interesting challenge not being able to use the font or the L. And becuase I like the CL community!

Here are a couple ideas, Let me know what you guys think, Feedback is definitely appreciated!

Ill probably work on a couple other ideas, and if anyone has an idea, I would be more than happy to try to make it.

Good effort but there's either too much cluttered text or too little to describe.

CL of SoCal or CL of Southern California is a start.

I personally wouldn't mind the SoCal group having it's own identity much like LGW. That way whatever logo, name the SoCal group comes up with won't be tied to restrictions set by Club Lexus. Of course adhering to guidelines and respecting copyrights of Lexus corporate will have to still be followed. Taking the name "Club Lexus" out of the SoCal chapter's identity would allow more freedom while still keeping ties with CL.
