Sadly, I'm not much of a designer (but I can do a decent job of creating websites -- just less of a creative artsy guy).

I may have a couple of co-workers that may be interested if @TUGBrian is looking for a new logo.

Some of those freelancing sites like Fiverr can come up with really good stuff if you give them a few examples of what you like and don't like in logos.

At work, we've used a few of those for some small projects and been generally pleased.

ive had a number of folks suggest them, might just give it a shot!

I still like the idea of it being created from within the community!

Can we upload our own logo for a shirt and still get the free membership when we wear it around resorts? Lol

 

[TUGBrian]

haha, if its a TUG logo sure!

not sure its a good ROI for me to subsidize a logo that has nothing to do with TUG =)

Of course it would be TUG lol. I’m just thinking, I’d totally wear a shirt with a modern sleek TUG logo. I’ve referred too many people to tug While on vacation without a t shirt haha.

I think the name TUG is a talking point…. I can see people say, what the heck does TUG stand for? That’s all I’ll need for 35 minutes of me talking their ear off about the group lol

would a qr code even read on fabric? id think that would be quite a challenge!

like the idea though!

But we could have a QR code on TUG calling cards that, you know, TUGgers just might happen to leave lying around at swimming pools, workout rooms, or next to computer terminals in the lobby.

i remember back in the day folks would set the computer home pages in the (at that time) business centers to the TUG homepage!

Ooohhhh - that never occurred to me. I'll have to see if I can start doing that. I suspect most places have things set up now with Windows that only someone who has admin privileges can make that kind of change.

 

[TUGBrian]

at the time it was fairly popular (and amusing)...I recall some would actually report back that the TUG website/forums etc were blocked!

font matching, made some more modifications! like how this is shaping up!

I think it would look better if the upper text didn't overlap the image.

I've done this for my YouTube channel. Have a card with a QR code on it that we have had laminated. If we are talking with someone at the pool or hot tub and the subject of my channel comes up, we hand them one. Or sometimes they just scan the code right there and we keep the card. I would like to get plastic ones printed, but those are rather expensive.

 

[TUGBrian]

sorry to be clear, im not against a qr code...they are neat.

ive just never seen one on cloth/fabric, and im not sure a phone would accurately pick it up (just like with a barcode).

Yeah, I don't think a QR code would work on a shirt. In order to scan it, it would probably have to be perfectly flat.

So what we need are decals, that can be stuck on various items in popular timeshare areas, such a resort computer terminals, ski lift tow bars, etc. The types of places where you see other types of decals plastered. Or even in restrooms. Something like "Timeshare Owners Must Visit TUGbbs.com Before Returning Home".

qr code on shirt - Google Search

Just googled it. Didn’t read much but there is precedent for qr on shirts

maybe a magnet or vinyl sticker thats easily removable etc.

I like the idea of a tropical shirt and a nature/mountain type shirt.

 

[TUGBrian]

I agree… just tried something different. The horizontal one may be cool for the website only? I know when I post the website on Facebook it comes up with the logo in the comment. That could be a cool look.

yep, thats from the meta og tag on the pages themselves...one of them defines the image to display on social media/snippets/etc when a link is posted!

ohhh, latest version of the "modern clipart revision" has come in, whomever suggested moving the domed font up over the trees was spot on!
