To All, Larry came up with a logo idea yesterday, I remember it well, the GT for the Grand Trunk Western railway, the GT on the trains, and it might be a really good logo for the club. Here is a link to a historical page about GT: (URL) have some (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Another idea is DT&I... J2 did a version of the DT&I compass rose logo which you can see here along with some other ideas (but not the GTW yet): (URL) DO like the DT&I one... (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) The DT&I one is good.I say we take a vote among the group of the different logos.Also maybe see if we can get J2 to do a workup of a few of those GT logos before we vote for a new one. (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

I like the Chessie-style one myself... the ones in the middle look too much like the NATO seal for my tastes. (which may mean Rick, our sub designer, will want one of them...) Peter (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Looking at (URL) and the page Scott mentioned, (URL), I'm wondering if the GTRS logo ever appeared without the background maple leaf, in red. Replacing "Grand Trunk Railway System" with "Michigan LEGO(R) Train Club" would give us a simple, (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) That page seems to suggest it did. (...) YES! That stylistic underbar makes it recognizable to the RR trufans, and yet it is simpler to do than the leaf... less colors and way easier to set up for embroidery. I like. I'm happy with just about (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) Well I vote for the DTI one, in Black and White. Very sharp. I think it would look great on our flyers and our shirts (assuming we ever got around to that.) -Jason (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

To All, (...) I assume you are referring to the one on the bottom here: (URL) is a nice one. The blak & white is sharp, we can use the color one perhaps on the website or something! I think I will still build some GT and maybe a Canadian National (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) It looks great, either in color or B&W. My concern is how it would look when printed or embroidered on shirts, in pocket-logo size. I'm concerned it might be indecipherable. Also, color (esp red) is more attention-grabbing. Which isn't (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) The one change I would ask J2 to make would be to make the spacing uniform instead of having L E G O in one quadrant because it's a short word. Better to have blank space on either side of LEGO in my opinion. I am also very OK with the Grand (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Maybe we should ask JT of NGLTC how they did theirs. Driving to the post office today to mail stuff i (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

(...) How about putting Michigan behind it instead? (otherwise people might think we're Canadians, and we certainly don't want that, right Trevor?) Train fans will recognize the font on the logo as GT, even if it has something other than the maple (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

To All, Well, if we want to do a survey, I still have my TSSC set up for www.zoomerang.com, and I can use that. DO we have sufficient ideas for that now to do a survey? Scott S. -- (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
