Over the past couple of group trips, the idea of a forum logo has come up briefly at once. It's never been mentioned on the forum itself surprisingly, so here goes.
I don't know what the real purpose of having a logo would be, but it might be kind of fun.
Three issues we have to consider though:
* I have a feeling BC Ferries might have an issue with us including reproductions of their schemes, but perhaps some sort of disclaimer/permission would solve that?
* Where would we actually use the logo? Sure we could go to the expense of making jackets for ourselves, or some other type of Swag....But seriously? I might be a geek who knows a little too much useless info on BCF, but not enough of a geek to want to tell everyone around me about it. So maybe for now, perhaps there might be a small place on the front page of the forum for a logo of some sort? It wouldn't have to be as large as the forum flagship if the logo is designed right.
*This forum is growing more and more every year. The Washington State Ferry fans are all coming on to a forum titled "Ferries of BC", yet only particpate in WSF discussion. So maybe the logo would have to be somewhat universal to incorperate some sort of acknowledgement of WSF as well?
I'd like to know what everyone thinks. Even post a picture of their logo idea if they support it.
Here's my example/idea of a logo.
I look forward to any future postings of more logos. If enough people support the logo idea, maybe would could have a vote on the best logo similar to the forum flagship. But would only vote once as it would be a permanent logo from that point on, unless there was suddenly a vote to change it. We'll see where this goes first though.
