Club Pins, Decals, and T-shirts

We have a limited supply of vBMWr pins and decals. Both are available for purchase.

Decals are $5.00
Pins are $4.00

If interested contact the club president at President@veteranbmwriders.org

T-shirts are offered by a third party vendor and are available at Chameleon Activewear .
The club receives not profits from the sell of these shirts. This reduces our cost my not having to order and stock these items. Note the logo is a thermal transfer vice a screen print.

Cost for T-shirts:

White with Logo on left breast: $8.00 + $3.00 shipping
Black with Logo on left breast: $10.00 + $3.00 shipping

If there is interest in designing and bulk ordering a silk screen t-shirt please let the club know.

I would be interested in a silk screened shirt. We use a vendor where I work for shirts, plaques and general swag. If I had the artwork I could run it by him for a quote.

Doug

I have to say this within a year or two the Art work and logo is going to be change because of the new rule from the ICC of BMW Clubs.
As soon I get the new workable templates from the MOA that have been promised. we will need to change over to the ICC was stated. So the pins we have will be changed after we get rid of the new ones, and also the club decals. To get a quote one the Art work a person can copy the logo or I can send a pdf copy.

I guess I will wait for the new logo then.

I was actually thinking the exact opposite--maybe snatch up some of the old ones before the logo changes. They'll be collectors items, don't you know.

Mike,

I was referring to my original post about getting a quote to silk screen shirts. Now that we seem hell bent on conforming to some foreign... sorry, international committee, I'll hold off.

I really don't think that all the other clubs are going to run out and change their logos as quickly as some think. Does it state somewhere if you don't change your logo legal action will be taken against you or your organization?

When I was the Secretary of the BMW Riders of MS we had a copy of the guidelines. All I remember was a statement about copyright infringement.

As I said, I'll offer up the time to get some quotes for shirts when we get it sorted and yes, the guy I go to is a vet but rides a Harley....

I managed to dig up two chapters of the guidelines for the International Council of BMW Clubs. Chap 4 is about applying for membership and chap 5 is about the logo. Since we are not seeking to apply to the council for membership (BMW MOA does this to be recogonized as an international club) then we shouldn't have to change our logo. That is of course unless the BMW MOA is trying to set guidance for their logo and all clubs that hold a charter with them.

If that is the case, I think they would loose a few chartered clubs by trying to dictate what the logo should look like.

Bottom line is I can't find where it says a little club like ours (that is NOT aplying to the ICC for recognition) has to conform to the International guidelines for a logo. It says IF YOU WANT TO BELONG TO THE International Council of BMW Clubs your logo must look like the ones in Chap 5.

I move to keep the logo as is and be done with it.

Here are the chapters -

Is the Club Secretary position still open?
