Stacy, was your request for new logo ideas or was it for new ideas of products on which to put the old logo?

Personally, I love baseball caps. My favorites are the ones with 'pre-curved' bills. I also picked up a freebie today from Kaiser Permanente that I was really impressed with. You know the shopping bags that the apple store puts your stuff in? Kinda like a drawstring bag with the string ends attached to the bottom corners of the bag so that you can wear it as a backpack of sorts? Well, KP put their logo and slogan on a ripstop nylon version with metal grommets and vinyl reinforcements on those bottom corners. I threw away the dead-tree materials they put inside and some kind of promo cd rom. Now I have a nice sack to put my sweaty gym clothes in without lugging my large gym bag home every night. I used an apple store bag for a while until it wore out (just plastic).

Black ( or white) nylon with a large DCMM logo would make a great stuff sack for lots of occasions...and I wouldn't use the DCMM one for sweaty clothes.

While we love our logo, and are looking for more things to put it on, I am also seeking other ideas as well. Remember the MOTD shirt we did last year? I am looking for more ideas like that as well. LINK to pictures. I want to vary some ideas for upcoming events.

with the winter months just around the corner, some cool track jacket zip up or some sort of cool british sweater with dcmm patches would be pretty cool.

Quick ideas:

For logo:
1. An embossed DC Skyline shot for the background
2. A MINI driving up the side of the Washington Monument

For Swag:
1. Handheld radio bag/holder with DCMM logo on it
2. Windshield sun screen with DCMM logo on it
3. DCMM logo wheel center caps
4. DCMM logo license plate frame

I think Jen's idea of an embroidered DCMM polo is a good one, as are the hats.

In regards to the vector art - please be advised that "vector art" is the high-res version of the logo and is closely controlled and distributed for the final production of logolized merchandise.

Peter, would the gif/jpg from the club site be adequate for what you want to do?

Guys look goofy in visors (sorry to any guys out there who were them). If we get hats that are adjustable sizes, stick your hair through the hole in the back.

Great idea, Jay ! Cabrio owners can never have too many hats.

sweaters and jackets tend to be pricey, especially with custom embroidery on them..

Wouldn't say I know him. Just a guy on a stool with a whittling knife in downtown Hanoi.

I think so too. Could we get white polos?
