Wow, I go away from a computer for a couple of days and have 300+ NEW MESSAGES!! My thoughts on the badge: No "porsche" they are not, no "356" that is a Porsche model designation and again they are not, put "replica" in the wording if any. "Speedster Replica Owners" "Speedster Replica Gruppe" "Replicas: Twice the fun 1/4 the cost" (sometimes 1/4 the cost) "Our's never rusts, how about your's?"
Sorry, it was a long drive home.
I really have to laugh about all this....
I read Jim's thread TWICE and still didn't understand what he was saying....
Alan thinks he speaks for most of us in his design choice....
I know he doesn't speak for me.....no offense....
I sure am glad he's not running the COUNTRY.....
Do you think that perhaps we can pick half a dozen designs
and maybe take what they call a "VOTE".........
Most of the ones in this thread are worthy either as they are or
with some rework...
Who says there needs to be a "message".....just my opinion,
but that sounds hokey....
Lets remember this Badge will be viewed by many, and its attached,
on purpose by you, the owner of what is now considered a
Classic Piece of Art....more than anything else....
Theron, Maybe you can pick a time when you stop this thread
and run with whatever the top six picks seem to be and we can
start voting...would it be possible to have a badge by the Knotts
show?

Vince ...Perhaps a misconception as to what I was trying to get across. I wasn't speaking on behalf of most on the group or trying to "Run Speedster Country". However, Since being involved in many organizations, I have learned to take the "high road" in suggesting to get things done without weeks of banter thus the original intent looses the drive and interest as it did previously.
Slatinsky,
Forgetting the badge discussion for a moment....I have been trying to e-mail you regarding the Carlisle meet in May but your e-mail address posted in the registry (slatinsky@earthlink.net) bounces. Would appreciate if you could e-mail your correct address to me. Thanks.

Don't be confused by this "thread's" dates...the discussion started in March of 2003 and was recently renewed.
As a guy who does art for a living - it's not something to be decided by committee.

Ok,
I want to put an end to this thread.
A couple of notes.
Slatinsky hasn't commented on this since last March, from the dates on his posts.
With the help of the badge maker, I will select a couple of designs that will look good on enameled metal. These will probably only be 2 or 3 color designs.
The designs will not use the word Porsche, we don't drive Porsches. They will probably include the word 356, this is not a trademark and commonly used by all the replica manufacturers to refer to their designs. The design will include the words SpeedsterOwners.com.

If I could add one comment to this ended thread. If the word "Speedster" is used on the badge that kind of excludes us Roadster owners, though I suppose we could sort of refer to our roadsters as speedsters if we had to.
Post deleted, please accept my humble apologies. Fraternally, Jim
Barry.... Khaki? or white, or Black. Jim
Post removed in the best interests of this forum.... with regrets, Jim
Theron....Thank you, you seem like a rational human being.
And being the creator of our wonderfully entertaining web
site, I'm sure you will do a tasteful job in creating a badge we can all be proud to display....
As for Jim, I have nothing but the utmost respect for the way You have handled the cards you've been dealt with in life. I should be
so strong....You don't need to make any excuses for what you say
on this site, we all use it to vent one way or the other.. its one of the reasons we can't stay away....You gotta hear what someone said....
Frankly I find it very entertaining...
I'm basically a trouble maker and love to mix it up on occasion,
so when someone, (like Alan, in this case)gets me started, I just
can't, not say anything......Alan, no harm no foul..............
It took all my strenth to stay out of the "school teachers"
thread a month or so ago.........
Who are we to judge each other, lets just have some fun with the
common interest we appear to have......but thats just my opinion...

I know we are not voting, so I command that you keep the '356' as part of the badge. It is a good identifier, and also looks great on the badge.
Damn, did I miss sumpthin'?
Im really confused by this thread, so as theron wishes this thread is dead
I deleted my post .
I'm here, been reading the posts. Theron, If you want to use my designs feel free. All I ask is that you don't change them. And send me one when and if they're done.
Oh, and I'm partial to the second one you posted.
Oh, I see I also need to update my profile.
