What's up with this?
(IMG:http://www.porscheclub.com/images/logo.png) The POC logo (the thingie on the right) used to have the Porsche® crest embedded in the middle. It suddenly changed in the last couple weeks. The club is obviously still authorized to use the Porsche® crest, because it appears by itself elsewhere on the web site and on printed docs they mail out. |

Hey Chris,
this has nothing to do with lawyers... The logo as so see it, is what Porsche AG demands from official Porsche Clubs If you look at any of the non-US clubs around the world, you will see the exact same idea (P-crest on the left, "Porsche Club" top-middle, club name bottom-middle and the club's own logo on the right) Porsche has very strickt ideas about their 'corporate identity' When I was building the website for our Dutch club, I got a huge handbook. It dictates exactly how everything is supposed to look, what colors to use, the fonts, font sizes, logo's Even the on-screen layout has been defined by the pixel Call 'em anal, but they want every part of the official organisation to have a uniform appearence to the world... cheers, Jeroen yaaaahoooo, it's good to be back!!!

Chis; they actually changed the logo last season. Like Jeroen says, it has to do with Porsche supplying sponsorship money and the club playing by the rules as Porsche writes them. Beats getting sued.

Ahhh....yeah, I kinda disappeared from the club for a while. I guess I should hang onto the shirts and stickers I've got with the old POC crest. (Liked it a lot better). |
