    I like the second one... Starbucks would probably not like us using their logo and think it clutters the image more importantly.

    I think we may be over thinking this a bit. This is a private club and we are not for profit. We are owners of Ferrari cars as well. I don't really believe Ferrari will care if we use the logo or not at least for the purpose of the club. I think simple is better as well and when it comes time to print we are going small as I remember so limited details and colors will be a big plus. I made a very quick sample up, I also like the ones I have seen so far. I just don't think we should get bogged down with companies and logos at this point and keep it simple and to the point. That's my .02, keep them coming, I think this is a great idea.

    I don't mind Duell's, also like the designs, maybe lose the horse and put Fchat in the white of the italian CT state outline. The horsey is nice , but not necessary , then we can include all marques with out making a sticker for each brand of car.

    Sorry Tom definitely not the one with the McLaren F1 on a 'Ferrari' badge...they're the arch enemy!

    I kind of like Duell's...Italian colors, has a horse, but no 'Ferrari' mentioned to avoid any corporate trademark people getting their panties in a bunch...

    I know a lot of work and frustration is going into these and most look great but what about taking the one with the prancing horse and turning it 180* keeping the Italian flag colours left or right with the rough outline of an Enzo or even better, a 250 GTO angled to see the front tri scoops and the exit vents on the fender to that georgous rear end. The GTO is such a great iconic Ferrari image. Wholy crap I love that car.... Thanks

    Be careful with the logo. My understanding is that the prancing horse and the rectangular logo with italian colors are trademarked by Ferrari.

    What application are you using to develop these? Could be how its exported.

    Some suggestions for everyone coming up with ideas. We talked about a 2" x 2" or so total area for these so keep the amount of detail so printing will not be an issue. Overly complicated graphics can get messy if we ever decide to print shirts as well. Also, keep the total number of colors to around 4 or 5 not counting white. High contracting colors will give a good look even at distance. I can see use using this over and over as far as websites, shirts, cups etc, so think about that when designing. Use vector graphics and Adobe Illustrator or the like so we can re size or change the graphic easily in the future. Just trying to help out, I did this for a living in my other life, lol.

    Mike I LOVE your last one. Loose the coffee cup, recenter the flags inside the shield and commemorate the first meeting (2007) vs. the current date and I'm in.

    Another concept I like a lot is from a church group calling themselves "the gathering". The photo uses bodies in silhouette that could easily be changed to cars in front of a special evening colored sunburst that could be made of European flag colors. Although it might be too colorful after those changes...it certainly is nice.

    Just saying...I'm not crazy about the term "cars and coffee". To me its an overused term that inspires a vision of senior citizens in a museum setting with nothing else to do. I like to think we are WAY more than that.

    I never thought of cars and coffee in that manner. I think cause cars and coffee has always been with high end exotics or BMW's with young minded people for me.
    what no mention about the flag girls logo.
