Not quite sure if we'd be the first; and doubt we could use any Pastis drawn crocs without violating copyright. So perhaps we could keep it to just citing the crocs -- like "CROCs -- there's always more of them."

I thought we had a mascot. Check out the center (white) badge on page 1 of this thread.

For me the croc with the chili pepper in his mouth has always been my favorite image. Unfortunately there isn't anything available for sale with that image on it anymore

Maybe we can play around & come up with something new. I will talk to the master of MINI graphics & see if he can come up with something for us

Until then here are a couple of (very amateurish ) animated graphics I have made that you can use if you ever have the need

I was motoring through Huntsville, AL last weekend in my 08 CR/W MCS and had the pleasure of passing two other CR/W MINI's. Gotta love it!

Hey, thanks for the graphics, bamatt. I like 'em!

I'll work on something for the mascot, but it will be cool to see if the pro could do something for us too.

I am waiting on one more design before I call the badge maker. Is there anyone interested in getting a CROC badge with a crocodile on it? It would probably help if I could show there is some interest in purchasing these when I call to see if they will make them

Yes to the badge! The new graphics are terrific -- love the croc. I just installed the boot badge holder yesterday. It would be fantastic to have a CROC badge back there!

Any other CROC'ers interested in badges. Let me know. I will prolly be calling the badge-maker tomorrow

I may also see if he will do some window decals like the image in the center of the 2 badges in the first post

Ooh! Ooh! Count me in, bamatt!

Are you talking about inside (reverse) cling window decals? Those are the best! I was kind of disappointed that the NAM decals are the opposite.

Avid, I am talking about a decal that sticks on the exterior window but it will be quality vinyl so if you ever need to remove it, it won't be too hard


dan I am not takin anybody's numbers away even though you seem to have been lead astray

I have sent an email to see if we can get some badges made. I will let ya know as soon as I hear back

Avid maybe if the printer agrees to do the decals you could contact him & see if he would do a static cling for you since he will already have the artwork handy

That's a great idea, actually. I was just thinking from the aspect of keeping the decals from being vandalized, stolen, or fade from repeated car washes. The interior cling decals, or even the adhesive interior reversed decals that go on glass eliminate all of my concerns. But I'd like to see whatever you offer! Thanks for taking the initiative for us all.
