This is one of the newest color clubs on NAM, but it's by far the biggest...

I'm impressed how many have signed up before me... and now after 89!
[If you search my posts the the so-called LY Dominatrix (or something like that) thread,

I think we need to have one logo that everyone can use, reguardless of their cars specs. I think a croc in the middle would be the best. It would have to be a cool looking croc though. Also, it will set us apart from the other color clubs that have cloned our current logo, haha.

I'll start looking, but for now, would anyone be opposed to having a croc in the center of the logo instead of a MINI? Any other ideas? Speak up!

FYI, I designed the logo and made all the other color versions. Nobody else "cloned" them.

Sure I'd be happy to design a replacement image (one of a crocodile), this might work instead of a side profile Cooper S, I'm not opposed to this at all. Our official shoe could be the Croc >>http://www.crocs.com/home.jsp

For a T-Shirt, that might be nice to have all elements, crocodile image and MINI Cooper S side profile. MINI logo wings are are not entirely out, but, that would be copyright infringement (besides, everyone already has a MINI wing logo on the bonnet). If the MINI wing logo *was* to be used on the T-Shirt, someone has to get approval (and or licensing rights paid) to use this.

I think that all the ideas here are super and that everyone should agree on a one logo decision, keep the ideas flowing. This would make it more realistic for producing all the different club materials down the line, if that's is what will happen. Consistency is the key to sucess. All these logos I designed are for NAM and to help foster enthusiasm for the MINI marque here on the forum.

As I've already said, I'm in the middle of discussing how the "Owner's Clubs" will work with Mark Ferguson, founder of North American Motoring. Since the clubs all originated from NAM and that's where they reside, it's only appropriate. He is super busy with MOTD and will return to this after, be patient.

I love the idea of the official club shoes! And yeah having a crocodile in the logo would be kind cool... unique. It would have to be a cool loking croc though. Sorry for not giving any specific ideas, but I just wanted to let you know that I like where this logo development is heading.

I still like the idea of a red chili pepper for the grille badges and a MINI for the Tshirts. Just my 2 cents....

Got it guys! Let's do a Crocodile with a Big fat Red Chili Pepper in his mouth!
Yes, a MINI on the T-Shirt is manditory!
Let me get the details worked out with regards to NAM first and then I'll go full CROC!
