We were at Monticello not too long ago to photograph some stoneware. Need to go back as Tabitha didn't get to see the interior. I've done a lot of genealogical research on my potters using the bricks and mortar archives and ancestry.com- amazing what can be found. My own parents only came here from Germany in 1968 so no ancestors to track in the US

Ollie I love it! That's just what I had in mind, with the caption - "IT'S MY EGG!!"
It's either that or here's something I had in mind also for the logo for EggFest Ontario 2013 with big question marks above the chicken's head.

If we decided to go with yours could we use it? as long as we gave you credit, and how much would you charge to use it.

So, if anyone has design thoughts, let me know
I'll work on the Glass Eggs logos again tomorrow- today was an all-Senga work day and tonight I have to do diss. work.

And thanks everyone!

A co-worker of mine made a nice little bonus check from cafe press and another web site where customers pick the design and item to put it on. You set the final price by what you charge above what the item provider charges for the item.

This gives you a flexible way to be compensated for your work. If you do a from scratch logo design for a rally you charge a bit more for items with that design. If they want a logo already created and in your portfolio but with different year or message you could charge a little less for items with that design.

If you could come up with some logo designs with space where you to easily put a custom message you might reduce your work load while still providing a really neat service. With many rallies being annual events they may only need "10th Annual" or "2012" type modifications. Or maybe a location for those that take place at different parks by the same group.

One note of caution, providers can change the price they charge but your price may remain the same at some sites, my co-worker suddenly found his profit check dropping from one outlet and that was the cause.

Good luck on your dissertation, it by all means should be a priority.

Which do others think it should be? Mark?

Will post a note to our group and ask a few to give an opinion. Why to hard to make a call on my own!!

I also like 6 and 7. Will post on FB as well.

Thanks Vivian! Feel free to use it

That's a great chicken- and better as a logo probably!

I'll clean up 1,2,6, and 7 when I get a chance

I like the simplicity of the first and third designs.

[BCDave]

Felix - You have a Dissertation to do. Eggs and egg-toons are great ofr a few min relaxing, but keep your priorities straight!

[RogerDat]

I'm another vote for #3 for simplicity. I also like that it's clearly an "egg" camper going someplace.

[Kevin A]

Just being nosy... Where are you doing your Ph.D. work? UV, George Mason, Virginia Tech, Wm. and Mary, Univ. of Richmond, etc.?

CindyL and I are a double-doctorate family ... her Ph.D. is from the Univ. of Iowa and my Ed.D. is from the Univ. of Northern Iowa. No big deal other than we've been through the same pain!

[Margaret & Susan]

These are great and thanks for doing them. If I have to put them in order, I would say 4 (I love the thought of our “egg” hatching), 3, 2, 1

[Bolero1780]

What talent! My vote goes to #6 or #7, they are all great though!

[Margaret & Susan]

Although it wasn't an option I also really like the sketch on page 2 of this thread

[RogerDat]

Wonder if something like #3 which is the "egg" speeding to the right could be overlaid on a state background like this one? Without the map title lettering.

First of what is hoped will be an annual Michigan Glassic Egg Scramble is going to be this Sept. It would be great to have a logo that could be printed on something for people that attend.

[Bonnie n Claude]

Ollie, these are wonderful. If ever you do decide to make them into postcards or to sell the jpg for reuse by others--they'd be great framed or on a hat or T-shirt, please add me to the mailing list.

[FelixVW]

Hi- sorry to be gone- had to get grad school stuff, etc. done. I'll take a shot at the overlay- may be a couple days, though as I'm on the road. Thanks I might do postcards, etc- will see

Ollie, I hope that you don't mind that I had your great UHaul "Welcome to Camp" printed on a window decal for my front door window.

Kind of hard to photograph, but here it is at night when back lit. The graininess is from the night photo, the actual image is crisp.

[Bonnie n Claude]

Really nice, Tom!

That is cute. Did you print it off yourself or have it done? If yourself what product did you use - was it a window cling type?

I used a place called Build a Sign. They had a free shipping deal, so the cost was nominal. The decal is clear to be placed in the inside of a window.
