Posted by: 7TPorsh Oct 26 2016, 10:11 PM
Always looking for new design ideas. This one is a knockoff for us 914 owners. Those 911 guys have the coolest stuff. I'll probably make a sticker or two. Post here if you have an interest.
I'll add it to the t shirt shop too. What y'all think?

I love the 6 one....of course. Gotta have me one them.
Posted by: 7TPorsh Oct 26 2016, 10:32 PM
Here's the one for the super hard core GT guys...

I like it. Hat, shirt, mug, what ever.

Posted by: db9146 Oct 27 2016, 06:09 AM
I'm in for a shirt or a sticker for the "6" or the "R".
Posted by: yellow75 Oct 27 2016, 06:28 AM
I'm in for a shirt and a couple stickers...
Posted by: cary Oct 27 2016, 06:47 AM
On the first shot I'd take 2-3 4 Gruppe decals and a 3 t-shirts, one of each.
Posted by: Dion Oct 27 2016, 07:35 AM
"6" Window decal & shirt fer sure!
Posted by: McMark Oct 27 2016, 07:36 AM
But the 4-cyl head is upside down. Flip that. 
Posted by: 914dave Oct 27 2016, 07:45 AM
I would be interested in the 6 group sticker and shirt. The R gruppe is cool too. Then again, I'm an R Gruppe wannabe! Hehe

This is a copyright infringement of the R Gruppe logo

It would be a Trademark, not a copyright and I don't agree....

Actually I think I will be filing my own trademarks.

If you do a little research you will see surprising things. http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:nplvwp.3.10Posted by: Vysoc Oct 27 2016, 11:15 AM

Just took a look through your page, some neat stuff. Do you have an Instagram account?
Also thought this looked familiar, did you do the IROC one too?
Posted by: 7TPorsh Oct 27 2016, 12:49 PM
No Instagram, I suppose I should learn how to do that or employ my kids to.
The IROC one was done by famous artist Guy Allen. Actually sparked the idea for the color codes.
I'm finishing a similar design for the early series 911. Here's a low-res working copy.
Posted by: 7TPorsh Oct 27 2016, 12:49 PM
Hey Optimusglen....I really, really like your artwork!
Posted by: jfort Oct 27 2016, 01:55 PM
in for 6 stickers and shirts
Posted by: daytona Oct 27 2016, 02:35 PM
All three sticker ideas are very cool. I would have to get one of each. They would also make a cool grill badge.
Let me know if you do make the stickers, t-Shirts, or whatever...I would be interested.
Very cool work.
Bill.

No fuel injection on the -4 motor?
--DD
Posted by: theleschyouknow Oct 27 2016, 06:22 PM
ha! just fixin to post something along those lines seems every time anybody's design comes out there's a lot of 'love it but can you add x or it'd be cool if it had y'
I'm ignorant so I don't know if I've seen the 'original' design but it's cool, nice pivot
failing an FI 4 I'm in for an R or a 6 either way -probably an R

Posted by: My 914 Oct 27 2016, 08:14 PM
I also like the design very much. It would be good to add an "8" as a previous post suggested. Hats are also popular. I would get some stickers and a hat for sure.
Posted by: 7TPorsh Oct 27 2016, 08:33 PM
I do have the fuel injected design too..... 
Posted by: 914-300Hemi Oct 27 2016, 08:56 PM
Those are pretty cool. I want I want them. 
Posted by: infraredcalvin Oct 27 2016, 11:14 PM
In for a 6 and/or R
I like the idea of a hoodie... high quality, olive color...
Posted by: Yotracr Oct 28 2016, 10:11 AM
Would like 6 and R stickers, and hoodie. Awesome!
Posted by: 23e Heure Oct 28 2016, 11:28 AM

Why are the engines backwards? The 914 ain't no tail dragger ...
Posted by: tygaboy Oct 28 2016, 03:57 PM
And if we're taking Gruppe 8, I'll need the graphic with an LS!
Posted by: RickS Oct 29 2016, 11:03 PM
Not to be Debbie-downer, but as a long time member of the infamous R Gruppe, I know that they/we are extremely protective of the name and logo. Unfortunately your design with the 6, especially with the R hits both. I won't rat you out, but don't be surprised if there at best is a warning and at worst, legal proceedings. Just giving you something to chew on and perhaps save you some unnecessary grief.
This goes for any corporation or club with resources. If you used the Boy Scouts of America logo instead, they would probably come knocking too and most wouldn't accuse them of being a bunch of asshats protecting their brand. Same thing.
Posted by: sixnotfour Oct 30 2016, 03:37 AM
..this is the R Gruppe logo

I'd avoid the R because it seems like a 'me too' and could cause legal issues down the line. Flipping the engine direction to give kudos to the mid engined configuration would be appropriate.
I'm in awe of your design talents, keep it up!
Posted by: sixnotfour Oct 30 2016, 10:09 PM
The design is a total me too....that is my point ..that is the R gruppe logo
Posted by: euro911 Oct 31 2016, 02:45 AM
I'd go for a T-shirt (L) with a small '4' logo on the left chest and larger logo on the rear
... and a couple of window stickers

Are the names/emblem designs that are being discussed on this thread really copyright/trademark protected?
Posted by: 7TPorsh Nov 1 2016, 10:20 AM
I've done some more digging and it seems the logo is trademarked. It's a very specific definition so it leaves quite a bit open for variations. I'll be doing some revisions....don't want to upset anyone....

IMO, you just need to tweak the design / color scheme slightly.....maybe something along these lines.
