Haha what do you mean I dont understand? I cant read what is there in black and white? i do understand Jimmy and i see there is a bit of gray involved too, have more creativity instead of knocking a "TRD" inspired logo for a tee shirt, skye is in fashion design and she talked to me and ryan already, i asked if she could help you and to be honnest i felt as if that was a huge insult, as you can see if you can read im NOT even from socal... sorry if i come off as a douche-bag but im just trying to help the situation....

That would be awesome if Skye could come up with a design since these designs seem a bit amateur to me, no offense. I've seen her work at she's really talented!

Technically you can use the "Lexus" looking fonts provided you get it from an Open Source font site.

You have been misinformed by some rep at IB. ANY font that is the styled Lexus proprietary font, similar design or related IS NOT appropriate. Plain and simple. This is something that applies to any Lexus enthusiast site...even prior to IB's acquisition of CL.

Go ahead and try to make something with any "Lexus" looking font. Be prepared to deal with Toyota Legal in the meantime.

Just FYI, I am the direct liason to Lexus USA for Club Lexus.

Well worked with AP before/Getty..Several Lawsuits have popped up for some of their work(For Design/ and imaging)...
Assuming in a court of law if the fonts are of Open Source Origin if it did get to a lawsuit its fine for the most part.....
However if its the exact typeset and font that Lexus does own proprietary rights for then bad things will happen for the defendant.

EDIT: Also adding a Serif to the font is considered changing it as well
(I think the Lexus proprietary font has no serif)

So you've worked with AP before...doing what?

We've worked hard to keep our exclusive relationship with Lexus Corp and Toyota Legal over the years. We've met with them several times about our revised fonts and styles. Trust me, we are not about to screw that up just because a few individuals want a t-shirt. You are welcome to make one on your own...lawsuits are no joke as you know.

I'm not sure what to say except either design one yourself, or get off your soapbox.

Thanks for the text-message David, no worries here.

Amateur no, 15 minute comps yes. I'm not going to spend hours on these shirts when we haven't even decided on a logo yet, nor have we seen anyone spend the time that I have into this creative process.

Until you understand the creative process, and the guidelines set forth for the artist attempting to create this for free, take a seat.

Thank's Frank, I have had 30+ PM's already about my shirt designs and where people can buy them if it's not chosen to be the "official CLSOCAL shirt". I will not let those people down.

Due to the fact that there is so much negativity surrounding this ordeal, I will refrain from submitting anything until a decision has been made to move forward with another design, or that one of my 15+ designs should be reworked, and finalized.

Thank you all for you input, and I hope this turns out great!

Excuse me?

Is this not a poll? Are we not trying to decide what design we LIKE best and aren't all of the posts in here mere opinions? Until YOU understand what this thread is about, get off your high horse. Just because you spent a ton of time on it does not mean that I have to like it. Why is that you are allowed to criticize the designs before yours but I am not allowed to criticize yours assuming that I'm even referring to yours. There isn't much creativity when I've seen those logo designs at my local Pac Sun for the past year. No need to get all "emoshun"al about it. A for effort but not my cup of tea.

I stopped shopping at Pac Sun once I got out of high school, so I wouldn't know.

I give this informal poll/thread a week.

I'll be back then.
