914World.com _ 914World Garage _ POLL for the 914club.com Brick
Posted by: Scott Carlberg Oct 9 2004, 04:12 PM
Sorry, but with Multiple lines of Text, doing an actual Poll looked to be to difficult.
PLEASE keep this thread about TEXT for our Brick ONLY.

Your ideas?
While I do care what Text goes on our Brick, I don't care either, you know?
I'm never going to be the smartest or most clever, so I will leave that up to the rest
of you guys.
Then again...
IF we go with more than one brick, we'll need more than one Text. (duh)

#2 I guess but it hasn't the Porsche word in it.

Thanks for heading up this project Scott.
What about payment?
Paypal might be the easiest, but they charge a lot of fees on a bunch of small transactions. People sending you a check would ensure that all of the donations go to purchase the brick.
On the SCRAMP web site they say that if we use a logo on a 12 x 12 brick we can have up to 5 lines of text. They also say each line can only have 15 letters. I think that only applies to 8" bricks. On a 12" brick we should be able to get about 22 letters per line.
Here is my suggestion for what to say on our brick.
'middle' or the Greman equivalent 'mittle' ?
'maniacs' or 'mayhem' or 'madness' ??

1) re the Payment, checks would be ok with me.
So would PayPal though, however, I'd want people to 'send' an extra $1.00 to cover the fees, wouldn't that be fair?
I mean the largest donation might be just $20, the paypal fee isn't going to be more than one dollar Over that, is it?
2) I'm not so sure about your suggestion (only my opionion John) with Middle Motor.
I know what that is, but wouldn't Mid-Engined be better?
Wouldn't more people get That instead?

I would vote to keep it simpler:

(just like in vegas' image but without the slogan)

How about something along the lines of racing heritage like:
Porsche 914
24 Stunden LeMans 1970 World Champion
914World.com

Hi,
I like number two. Put me down for $20.00 and let me know where to send the money. It'll have to be a check. I don't do PayPal. I like this idea.
Cheers, Elliot

I like #2 also. Give me an address and the check is on the way.

Figuring out what to say on the brick is tougher than I thought.
It seems like a 12 x 12 (the only one available with a logo) is our target.
I am confident we can collect the necessary $500.
I re-read all the fine print and these are our guidelines and restrictions.
- *Maximun of 5 lines of text.
*Limit of 15 characters per line. (This is the part that makes design difficult. I do like the LeMans ideas but it does not fit smoothly. I also like simple but since we can't use a large font we would just be getting a lot of dead space.)
*All caps and centered.
Both are similar - w/ or w/o spaces between the letters in Porsche.

OK. After this I'm done fucking with it.
Like Scott said -
My 1st choice is bottom right.
2nd choice is top left.

Vegas Racer,
I like your designs. Thanks for taking the time to do those.
I like the bottom left. Kind of makes the www.914world.com stand out more.
I dont like the "step on it" statement.
We could replace that with "Get Out of the Way"

apon is fine. 
Give me an address and the check is on the way!

classic! get's my vote as well ...
AndyPS: count me in for $20 ducks, don't have paypal tho ...

I like #3. If another option prevails, please don't use 'it's not a VW', because it IS. Every 356, 550, 7(series) and 9(series) IS a VW because VW IS Porsche.

Yup. That is the only difference.
Those two seem to be the overwhelming favorites.
Maybe a poll with just those two.
If you want I can redo them as accurately as possible and start a new thread and we can finally get an answer.

That sounds pretty good to me John.
Do it!
The bottom two, right?
I like the Porsche letters together, myself.
I also wonder IF we'd hear from Porsche IF we were to put Porsche on our Brick? lol

bottom right of john's or scott's #3..
Keep-it-simple ...

The final pole is up, so http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=18469
(what a bitch it was figuring out the correct tags to post an image in a pole) 
I was almost ready to ask Rich 918-S for computer help.

I'm in for 20.00 and I'll send a check....fuck paypal. What I want to know is....can we get a RUST colored tile??? HA HA! I said HA HA!
Posted by: /L. Oct 11 2004, 06:18 PM
I'll mail you $25. And I like the P O R S C H E design better.

*** UPDATE ***
Well, as of 9.30pm, CA time, Mon nite
I've rec'd 5 Payments, totaling $105.00
Of you *fine 914 people* that have said you'll Donate, I count $455.
So, IF everyone pays that says they are going to, and those people that have
said they'll Donate, but just haven't given an amount, we should be able to get
to the $500 goal:
(12x12 inch Brick - 5 Lines of Text with Logo)
