Title: Keychains and Lanyards
Post by: 318kid on April 26, 2007, 10:32:05 PM: Well since we have T-shirts and stickers (which I'm planing on buying soon) I think we should brainstorm some more ideas for other things. I think a Lanyard would be prettysweet with the club website on it or something like that. Just give me your imput on what you think.

Post by: ABuseO on May 30, 2007, 12:58:29 PM: I'm thinking polished steel?
that'd be nice, don't know what it would cost though.

Post by: nomad on June 01, 2007, 11:35:21 PM: Polished steel? How heavy would that be?

What about an easy one to "buy into": military style dogtag that you can get imprinted with the club name/web address, then each member could put their year make/model (duh - 1991 BMW 318iS) and screen name/stupid saying or something?

Post by: ABuseO on June 03, 2007, 07:27:33 PM: Heres my take on the dogtags, which i find a quite economic idea.
I am a sucker for black and white, but its just an idea.

Title: Keychains and Lanyards
Post by: nomad on June 09, 2007, 11:48:26 PM: I think these designs would have to be single color, line drawings only.
I think there would be copyright issues using the BMW logo.

One way around that (since we all know we drive BMWs) is to use a line drawing of the E30 and the tag "E30" or "318IS" on one side with "M42CLUB.com" and your screen name and maybe member number XXXX on the other side. Maybe folks with E36s can have one with their correct car too.

Post by: ABuseO on June 10, 2007, 12:48:11 AM: i feel you on the copyright issue, however, we arent making money off of them? i dont know how its going to be done, but i thought they were just membership reminders or some such, doesnt mean there has to be a profit to be made.

maybe if we made them ourselves, seems like too much work.

Come up with a rough design, visual.

Too busy in the center.

Post by: ak96ss on June 28, 2007, 07:05:03 PM: Make it M42Club.com on the bottom of the same ring that the 'BMW' is on, and slightly enlarge and center the 'Home of.." part.

Post by: doucy2 on June 29, 2007, 09:22:41 AM: I don't really like the key chain that much, I don't like extra clutter. A lanyard would be cool because it would be practical for me to use.

On another note I don't think there is enough interest to bring back the shirts for a re-print this fall, so I will probably wait until end of the winter to do it again. However, if enough people want them I can do another run in the fall. So if you see this and are interested PM me.
