ewwww... That's it, I quit. I thought you guys were cool.

That's debatable...

There is a point to sdnatives comments... I think adventure/expedition vehicles are historically Range Rovers, Land Cruisers, or something there of...

Maybe it's a good idea to use a logo like hmfigueroa has came up with to avoid scaring vehicle/adventure types away. It keeps things generic.

This was my intent....

To build on mfigueroa's idea... how about this??? We would like to incorporate our motto in it once we vote on that as well.

Instead of the radio tower being placed at the top can it start at the bottom and "weave" it's way to the top?

Also... maybe a map of the US? It is... after all... OAUSA... not OACALIFORNIA

I couldnt draw the Jeep as i picture it. I wanted a Jeep coming up over a ridge with its nose sticking up in the air, just like the logo they have over on http://myjeeprocks.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

My radio tower is really lame, i dont know exactly what they look like. A little help would be nice. This would be cool... http://www.mrsikhnet.com/wp-content/upl ... _tower.JPG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Heres my hand drawn, half assed, excuse of a logo.

The drawing maybe a bit crude, but I like the direction. I think it's important to include off-road into the logo. While off-roading may not be the primary focus of the entire site, the for majority of the membership, at least initially, it will be.

I'm just pulling your chain. It's true that in the USA, most folks associate jeeps with off-road. But that's not true overseas!

Yea, I'm not sure I like the Republic of Kalifornia idea. Maybe a world globe with a big radio tower or two, and an adventure vehicle coming up over the top (sorry, I dont have the skills nor the the desire to draw a picture, but I can do a google image search )

This kind of idea:

or

I guess people did not like my California Idea, so here is what I came up with. These are draft comps and have not been finalized for details / alignment I can envision the USA in a straight line. The angle works with my original California Style not so much with the US Style. I have not included RF emissions nor compass headings. Perhaps we can guide this into something good.
Basic USA MAP Compass Rose Style Antenna Tower This is more of an "Amateur Radio" Style Tower instead of the oil derrick / power tower style. Kitchen sink Well these are my ideas based on input recieved. If I am given more constructive direction I am certain we can get something nice together. All of this is my original artwork so we will not run into copyright issues with using downloaded images.

I like the direction...

What about starting with a globe (earth) centered on the US with a small(ish) radio tower placed on the western side of the US (California) with a compas rose around the perimeter and your OAUSA lettering.

Hmmm.... now that I have spelled it all out... maybe it would be too busy.

I really like the direction this is taking... You all are awsome. Keep the input coming.

USA MAP



Love the USA Map version a lot! Nice work. Can you insert an off road vehicle and antennae somewhere?
