As previously stated I think one of the problems is that people without a GTI  but with a Golf or similar (like me) wouldn't buy it if it is emphasising the GTI part. I understand it's a GTI forum but I know a lot about the GTI and contribute a lot and wouldn't mind having the forum sticker on, plus there are quite a few members with other cars. But I'd feel stupid with a sticker that said GTI when my car clearly isn't. Food for thought  :smiley:

....A very valid point. The sticker represents the forum/community and not the specific car. The web address within the 'logo' sticker is sufficient to give some idea of what we are all about.

That's why I still prefer VC's original chevron design - It just needs to develop a bit further away from the military associations. VC? Where are ya, buddy?

The thing is, it is a forum for golf Gti's. Why do we wanna get away from that? The web address is the web address! Haha!

....Yes it started out as a forum for GTI's and it still fundamentally is. But it has organically evolved (something to do with bigger cocks joining  :evilgrin:) and it's a site/community which warmly welcomes those on a different 2.0T FSI etc platform.

What does SteveP think about this?

EDIT: You don't have a GTI, Jay, so what are you doing here?  :P  :wink:  :grin: :happy2:

VC? Where are ya, buddy?

right here reading dude absorbing opinions :happy2:

mine is merely an idea, attempting to add design to an address which is the only way you can include non gti's imho... even if its not in chevron form. changing the font within the chevron is easy btw and would seem to be the general throng of opinion, but not everyone likes that design

to answer other statements - it is a gti forum yes

but its also a community  :innocent:

straight text is straight text, no design to that at all, but whichever way the masses go is the direction it heads

more opinions needed for a new design, more input from those who havent commented too  :happy2:

I know its a gti forum but theres a hell of a lot of other tfsi varients and it would make it easier to spot other forum members that dont have a GTi with a universal forum sticker design that kinda incorporates everyone :grouphug:.

I like the idea of the Military stripes and it would be easy to spot a fellow forum member which is kinda the point in the sticker right.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a forum badge/logo. Not necessarily stripes but maybe something else that's easily recognisable and smart.

Hell I'd settle for the military stripes if I didn't think it meant my car would be targetted by pikey scum.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Stripes would turn your car into a target? How? :confused:

I was wondering how too

but stealth, yep it would be great to have a recognisable symbol as our without having to be known as a collective just via a URL

A lot of army dudes get jumped on by pikeys because they're in the army. Rather than admire these men, they're ridiculed and looked upon as scum. I don't want someone thinking my car belongs to a military man and hence gets trashed.

I must admit I'm completely ignorant to all this but I'm utterly disgusted I share this country with people who deem it acceptable to do things like that :facepalm:

just reminds me of dubkorps, too similar imo. https://www.dubkorps.com/dkcart/

x2, too much Dubkorps in it and also not very readable.

Uk-mkvs.net is quite a sharp logo to be honest, but a bit hard to make out.

Will have a think about an easy-to-recognise yet readable logo.

JPC can I email you something to post up on your site... basic design more around the web address rather than a logo I guess but we can see peoples views on it
