Afternoon Luke,

Good to have you back :D

I was happy with the original batch of stickers, so more from the same supplier would be ok. My supplier is there as a back up.

It is your website and forum and you have the domains, I'd vote for the stickers saying BX16Valve.co.uk. It would make them longer but I would put them in the main side rear windows and not the rear quarter ones.

And I guess the BX16Valve.com domain links to here anyway :?:

I registered the third domain, bx16v.co.uk, so it didn't vanish off into the ether, i'm quite happy to transfer it over to you Luke.

On the length front, what if we simply shrunk the .co.uk, add www to the start and but the pre and post fix under the chevrons? It would then read 'BX 16valve' but on closer inspection give the full address. I think i might have a vector of the whole '16Valve' vector from the back of the car making the graphics reasonably easy.

Hi chaps

That looks nad sounds great Mike and Vanny...I will contact you both via message.

Feel free to go ahead with the sticker order Mike I have been busy as you know and some help supporting the members is probably just what I need.

Vanny has a lot of tech stuff to keep an eye on here and if I take the domain I think I will let the othe rtwo expire depending on what Vannys thoughts are as he knows about these things.

Many thanks
Luke

With thanks to EXVALVER we have a pretty decent looking logo,

I gave up trying to get the font right, and since a volunteer stepped forward it seemed foolish not to leap on the offer.

So, what do you think?

I might alter the spacing on the BX 16V bit TBH. Although it is 'accurate' in that it is what's on the car badge, it might need tweaking IMHO.

your type face is correct, but I meant more like, I think it would look more cohesive if the V was italiced to match the 16 like?

Personally I prefer the top one, as it reflects the actual badges on the cars. The lower one is OK too, but does beg the question why it is almost the same, but not quite?

Anyway let's see what the consensus is.
