tyler Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 This what Ive come up with so far, the boarded is the outline of the Eastern regions, the rest is as you can see (the basics), but cant think of what else to do? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks. Tyler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Grosvenor Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hello Tyler, I think that looks good. Hang on, where did that Ferret come from!!! :lol: Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hi Richard, I quite like that actually maybe we could have a siloette of your Ferret a Jeep and a landy to give a visual representation of the types of MV's the club has E.G. Ferret = Armour, Jeep = WW2, Landy = softskin/post war etc? Tyler. Ps, you'll have to get it past Mick and his ferret first :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick garner Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi tyler and richard, that can go straight past me. absolutely fine so long as my ferrets on there too! I think Richards Militant or Zil would look good on the badge too. Perhaps we could have t.e.a.m written in a curve and in stenciled type writng if thats possible sort of written onto the MV's. Have the border as our main background, then a couple of MV's on top of that. and finally T.E.A.M written on top. I'll try and get something drawn up if I have the time and then try and get it on here with my amazing computer knowledge of a 44 year old who grew up without a computer in sight. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick garner Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hi tyler and richard, I'm sorry but my computer knowledge has let me down, I would try and get something done but I can't be asked to and have other things to do. I tried to do something with our T.E.A.M badge but for some reason our computer just starts to spread images of our ferret all over the screen. And eh, just another question, how do you post images onto here? cheers guys, Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Grosvenor Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hello Mick and Tyler Mick, For posting pictures have a look at this http://www.hmvf.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=98 I think Tylers idea of using pictures of different types of vehicles on the logo is brilliant. But, I tried doing something along those lines and it was very cluttered, I think it needs to be simple line drawings of vehicles ( simular to EMLRA's logo) . I did try a very simple logo with T.E.A.M in large letters in the middle with THE EASTERN ARMY MOB in a circle around it, all in a nice green and black camo colour. But my desk top publisher want let me save it as a JPeg file and then I can't send it or post it. I'll keep working on it to see if I can display it on here.

Richard Grosvenor Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hello Tyler and Mick, This is the sort of thing I've thought of; Simple (and probably a bit boring :roll: ) but very easy to reproduce, on T-shirts and the like, for instance :shock: Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi Richard, thats brill, as for being a bit boring that can easily be addressed with some Bar grip tread pattern underlinning The Eastern + Army Mob, or using the tread pattern as the boarder, but I reacon that the design should deffently be the basis for the club badge, so any other ideas on how to liven it up a bit would I am sure be greatley recived.

mick garner Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi richard and tyler, Richard that badge looks really good, maybe if we were to reproduce it on a T-Shirt we could swap the colours around, have white for the writing/ tire tread and that stuff and then have olive green as the actual shirt colour. Maybe we should launch into our own merchandise buisness making T.E.A.M pencilcases, books , pens, pencils, T-shirts!! We could make millions!! And then have a real large collection of MV's and launch into a show even bigger than Beltring! :lol: :!: :idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tyler and Mick, Thanks for the the complements on the logo. Good idea with the tyre tracks, I'll see what I can find.

mick garner Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi Richard, When I tried to register onto that image site it wouldn't let me. I'll just go on writing normal word messages. All it says is write the text out in the box above. So I do into the little box below it. And then it just says the same thing over and over again apart from with different text. Cheers, Mick.

mick garner Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi, Are any of you going to Stoke Goldington steam rally on the 5th and 7th May? It's a good show, should be there if we have no major catastrophes with the Ferret. Cheers, Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick garner Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hi all, Any news on the badge? No worries about the image thing, It's not imperative that I post pictures, but thanks for the help anyway. I might try another image-hosting site. Maybe that will work. I think the whole problem is probably down to our PC being as slow as a tractor and about as trustworthy as a sly fox! I say 'trustworthy' because you will want it to do a certain task and it just won't do it. You might want it to save something important, save it twice just in case. Then again though as long as I can access the internet I don't care. Cheers, Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick garner Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hi all, I'm almost there, I have registered on a image hosting site and have an image of our ferret on there. In my images. But I am not exactly sure how to transfer images from there onto HMVF. Please Help!! :? :?: Cheers, Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Grosvenor Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hello Mick, What you need to do is highlight the name of the image you want to post ( on Photobucket it's the third box down) then right click it and click copy. Next go to the post you are writing on the forum, right click your mouse and click the paste button. If you preview the post , if everything worked and the planets are all properly aligned etc. the picture should be displayed. Hope that helps. Once you get used to it it's quite easy.

Richard Grosvenor Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hello Mick, I actually made a little mistake :oops: when I said click on the pictures name, in reality it's the one marked IMG or maybe even BB code. This is what the code might look like ( I've deliberately put an extra line in it so it won't display the picture) If I put the code correct, ta-dar!! Hope this helps a bit.

mick garner Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Richard, I'll give it a go when I've got time but at the moment there are 1000 other things I need to do(as always). Cheers, Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick garner Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Richard, P.S Very Nice Militant, does she take 14.00x20.00 tyres. They are really hard to get now. Cheers, Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Grosvenor Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Richard,P.S Very Nice Militant, does she take 14.00x20.00 tyres. They are really hard to get now. Cheers, Mick. Hello Mick, Thanks, being a HAA Gun Tractor she runs on 15.00 x 20.00's which are even harder to get. We've recently renewed the four rear ones, it was a right pig of a job to get the split rims apart and they are seriously heavy. I have actually removed a wheel and refitted it by myself but have been warned not to do it again by the Militants previous owner. He was lifting a wheel/tyre once and split a valve at the top of his stomach! (That always makes me feel funny inside :? ) So from now on I leave it to a professional tyre fitter! Regards Richard Ps Good luck with the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick garner Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi richard, I've heard many stories about tyre fitters getting seriously injured from split-rim tyres and rims.0ww! I thought changing a Ferret tyre was difficult! They weigh something like 76kg each! I should think the Militant tyres weigh twice as much. You're a brave man Richard! Cheers, Mick.
