 | | VLC Sign —Robin Sather
|
| | | I've done some checking around. To start with, I assumed we would try to get a sign that was roughly 2 ft x 8 ft, that we could use either up on a wall (ie. behind the display), or hanging down in front of the display along the table skirt. The (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | | (...) Do we really want to spend this much right now, considering I didn't think we'd completely settled on the logo? Could we not get a biggish printout on paper (say 2-3ft long) and mount it on a piece of foamcore? Kevin ---...--- Personal Lego (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | | | (...) I will find out what this will cost us. If we wanted to go really cheap, I could simply print out sections of the logo on my inkjet on 8 1/2" x 11" sheets. I could then line them up and paste them onto foamcore. If we did this, I wouldn't mind (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | | | An interim sign would be a good idea until we are firm on a logo. Robin, I agree you should be reimbursed for your supplies. Basic foamcore is available at Staples or Office Depot for relatively cheap. I'd offer to get some but my hands are (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | | OK, more final decisions to make. I've hopefully compiled all the information needed for us to decide on what type of sign we want. There are 4 options below. Personally, I'm more in favour of spending a little bit more, and having a better sign. My (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Also, I don't really care how much I contribute to pay for it as long as it's fair (and I don't hafta pay for the entire thing). :) Bryan (24 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

The problem is that TLC didn't want anything too "brickish", so I tried to do some things that would suggest bricks but look different enough for them. I'll try turning them (...)

| | | | | I rotated the lego blocks 180 degrees, and I like it a lot better. They look a lot more like Lego bricks, but the geometry is still (intentionally) wrong, studs a little high, etc., so hopefully Lego won't mind too much. It can be seen on the (...)

You can't see the stud tops to see whether there is a LEGO on them, so I would suggest that you go with correct proportions. Has LEGO actually said you (...)

| | | | I shrunk the studs down a little on the brick graphic, and it looks better. The change is not dramatic but does help. For time's sake, I'm not posting it anywhere. It will go into the sign printers today. I'll also begin the T-shirts. Robin (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
