I was thinking....once people start getting their m3's.....they'll start looking for m3 info a lot.

How about, we do a little advertising on our cars by putting up small, but cool looking stickers on our m3's?

I know I know....spare me the ricer speech, but it'll reeaally add 10hp+!!!!

Great idea.

What's the design?

 

[neomonkey]

How about Powered by Mazda3Forums.com

That oughta supercharge your car.

 

[Absinthe]

Hehehe in that case, gotta put a sticker on the engine cover too...

 

[Yuki]

mazda3forums.com

more u want to print..the cheaper they ar....

 

[wahyinghung]

[Levitron]

I like the response so far.

Hmm....this is turning into a GVA forum....

I'm good friends with the Autoworld owner's daugther....so maybe we can get a good price on the stickers (their store is in Richmond and one in Metrotown). I'm not sure if they still do stickers though.

Oooo... is she cute?

Heh, 1 unrelated response so far...

Ok, so why don't we try to make a design or two and see how it goes? It would be good to have one OFFICIAL sticker/logo.

 

[Absinthe]

How about a design contest? Every member has a chance to post their designs. Then other members could vote on which design is the best.

 

[dugrant153]

I'm totally for it.
I want 50 extra hp

Be careful. They tried this on mazda6club.com. Something about copyright laws etc. You can make the sticker for yourself, but you cannot sell em or distribute them b/c they take away from possible money for the site. MZ6 will post a nice long message on this I'm sure.

Here's the thread where this same suggestion was made: http://www.mazda6club.com/forums/read.php?TID=11687

Here's an example of the letters they will post:
by Steve 6er:
"Dear members.

Please notice that producing and selling Mazda6club stickers would be illegal since the name and design of the logo are copyrighted. We would not look kindly upon such an act.

Buying such stickers that are not official also would mean taking away an income opportunity that is important for maintaining this site for the future. Increasing numbers of members and hits will increase the need for income to pay for the dedicated server/s and maintenance. And we can't depend solely upon the grace of sponsors.

If illegal stickers are still produced and marketed, we will have some member somewhere order one. Once he or she receives them, we are forced to take action. So please, stay away from doing this and keep patient, stickers WILL be produced and sold.

As stated before, we do on the other hand not forbid anyone to cut decals for their own car. Just don't sell them.

The Mazda6club team. "

 

[chickmod]

But, I'm all for a sticker of course.

 

[dinu01]

That's fine. Let's have a contest for the site owner(s) and they can decide which is best and use that as a guidance to make an official sticker for all of us to buy - therefore helping the site.

 

[chickmod]

Just didn't want anybody to get their hopes up is all.
I'm gonna see if I can work out a design myself. (I suck at photoshop type things)

Nice design, C...

Hmm how about using the original mazda3 logo then add the word "forums.com" in the end...
Would that against the copyright?

 

[schulkw]

I know this is getting into copyright and all, but I would like the Mazda3 logo from the Mazda3 website and then forums.com in the same font as Mazda.

If they're not sold for profit, then is it still copyright? As long as you use the (R)? I don't know. It seems like the URL would be illegal too. But I don't think Mazda would say anything since it's good PR.

Thanks, thought about using their logo, but like you said, it's copyright. Wouldn't even want to try it, and MZ6 wouldn't go for it. Would even use the 3 from the board logo, but I don't know what the font is.
