My problem is -- how do I help (on a T-shirt or poster)?

That's what's kept me from making the poster.  I coulda done it.  I know how to do it.  When I bought and designed billboards (kinda similar) six words were the max.  I don't know how to even present STS (S-T-S), whatever.  We're only together on this in the goal.  Not in the doing.

I'll think of this the next week in Cabo.  Let me know if you come up with something brilliant.

I think we need to be cautious in the sign creation department - and while I would prefer to see something in the form of at least a template - and sooner than later - I think the message on the sign, the layout, the logo, all needs to be consistent.

I can't argue with any of the sentiments posted as proposals, but I also believe the branding and message needs to be consistent from event to event, car to car, racer to racer.  When that occurs, then our personal stories and viewpoints will have a greater impact with those we interact with. 

I maintain this task should be farmed out to somebody less busy, but I also believe it should move forward quickly and with an approval from STS.

A boatload of home made signs will make us look like an angry mob - and in a lot of ways, we are.  But a consistent logo and message will make us look like a well organized angry mob, and that's the group that I think will likely be more effective.

 I agree a uniform sign should be the prioroty but as we read SEMA comes first. The indoor car show season is now underway at least here on the East Coast its to bad were missing these opportunities.

I thought variety was the spice of life.
Isn't that what LSR is all about?   :evil: :evil: :evil:

I don't think it matters what the signs look like as long as there are signs and they are appropriate, and the car owner has the added contact information to hand out so people can make a difference.

If and when an organization comes up with a template you can change to that if you want.

IMO this is one of those topic's you have to run with while the iron is hot. And right now the iron is HOT.

I agree totally.  It isn't like the people at a car show are likely to go to other shows and compare signs and question that there isn't a united front on this. 

The main thing is to include links to STS and The Utah Alliance so they can keep up in the future with what is going on along with this site. 

Trying to get STS, the Utah Alliance and everyone else on the same page as far as a poster goes might take some time.  Like Tom says "IMO this is one of those topic's you have to run with while the iron is hot. And right now the iron is",

This is an example of what I am talking about.

PS. Use a picture like this on a business card and have all the contacts on the back for a handout.

I like it and the business cards is a great idea.  A person is less apt to loose that compared to a flyer  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:,

I played around with Tom's card this morning.



Above it is in Business Card size of 2 X 3 1/2 and it would be easy to have these printed up and being on one side only would cost less.  A printer or online service could put your car or someone else's on but I like Tom's myself.



Above is a larger version that could also be made into a poster or sign.  People could take a picture of it with their phone and have the contact info for later,

Great work! I'm going to print some up and pass around at a local car show this weekend. Could I make one suggestion (since you have the "original")?

It seems to me that getting the word "Bonneville" on this would be key. Might I suggest in the box containing "for more information" you substitute

"Preserve the Bonneville International Speedway". I think it has more impact / name recognition. Just my 2 cents but THANK YOU for the grass-roots effort, in any event!
