I would probably encorporate the logo into something, although probably not in
time for our upcomming show.

Probably but it problably wouldn't be the best quality.

Well John has offered to help out. There are also some services available on
the web for getting custom decals done. It isn't cheap but the service is
there. Personally I would want decals in White as well, the main problem is
there are very few printers that print in white.

That I don't know. My guess is we might be able to get some but combined with
a printer that prints white I don't know unless John is going to be able to do
something quickly.

Not a bad idea to look into.

Shawn, it is a good thing you don't ask for much. Otherwise I wouldn't know
what to do :-). Anyway I really don't know how small we could make it without
it getting obscured to the point of being unrecognizable.

Not if you have a God like figure manning the controls... Oh, do we have one
of those?

You say that as if it wasn't a normal occuance...
Anyway, seeing that no one has objected to the alternate yet I think we should
proceed and get somthing done. Like I said before it isn't like we are
changing the identity of NELUG, its just incorporating an alternate/second logo
for special circumstances.
So lets go, wheres that finalized version of the logo :-).
