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 vote is for either the "BETTER" or the "BEST" option below,
and I can't quite make up my mind about which I'd prefer. My guess is
that the printing on the "BETTER" option may be slightly better, but
the vinyl sign will last longer.
If it comes down to the money, I'd be willing to do as Dean, Alex &
Kevin have done, and chip in a little extra for the privilege of
hanging onto the sign, for use whenever the club wants it. We still
haven't quite decided how to pool and divide up the various costs.
Ideas?
As far the finalization of the logo goes, why can't we finalize it
now? Are there any objections to the way it looks at present? If so,
speak up, and I can make changes before printing sign and T-shirts.
If not, then I move we accept the present logo as official. Any
seconders?
So, I need final opinions on this issue. I want to have at least 4
days of lead time (twice what they require) to get the sign made.

| (...) $10 bucks difference we may as well go for the vinyl option. Can you post a link to the final graphic for another look? Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (24 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| (...) I vote for BEST. It's gonna last long, it looks "professional," and like Dean said, it's only $10 more. 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)

| 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)
