All 15 members are offended with change? why didn’t he ask us first, lol
Look at the stats alone, GD - avg 10-20 members and 100+ viewers at any given time. Versus RDP - 100s of members , with 1000s viewing at any given time. Only members can vote or comment, hell , would be easier to just group text GD members 😂
GD has been dying long before Dave and Chris took over. No one looking to edge out old timers, just like rdp old brings knowledge. But something has to change to bring back the life to this forum. Or it will age out and die. The old logo can look as cool as KMET and KNAC swag of the past. Everyone can see your stickers and say remember………

Personally, logo change or don’t. Don’t care. I think giving manufactures a stage would help. Fab shops. Motor builders. Utv companies that do a lot of IG daily posts, could easily add their content here. Most avoid because of negative comments. Or bad experience at one point in time. Why would a builder post for 4 comments after someone says, that’s old tech why do it that way. When they really don’t know shit. Motor builders, every builder someone says their builds are shit or my buddy…… or the that paint / interior sucks kicking builder and buyer in the nuts, lol
Keep comments positive or neutral and they’ll post. Posts of good or cool content brings views, views bring new members to interact.

Do some get togethers, poker run, parties, the fun group, cool kids representing w GD etc. people see , peeks interest and just keeps snowballing.

This might seem like a big leap here, but why not finalize 4 or 5 possible logos as well as the OG logo and maybe an updated OG logo then have the people at the SSSS vote. Have ballots ready to be filled out and grab peoples Email addresses at that time, you could even give away some swag to encourage participation. Sign up new members figure out what the masses are saying about logo's hand out some swag and sign up some new members.

Then with the Email addresses you got send out a sign-up email after the show.

What do you not like about it. Maybe provide him with some input and dbart can hone in on what you are looking for?

Just my input. Change can be good but major change can make things worse. I like where dbart is going with this. Fresh look while honoring the legacy.

Well I’m not sure it could get much worse in terms of traffic. Especially with the domain, this place should be 100 times what it is.

As far as that logo it’s a good start for a concept but I don’t think it’s finished per se.

well it would make it a bit difficult to run all the clothing and hats etc to try and recoupe the 8k for the booth without a logo.. just to attend the sandshow I budgeted about 30k.

A Logo change represents the business change, perhaps addressing negative perceptions, strategic repositioning? You started off great with video reviews and content of builds, mfg. and service vendors that support and cater to the sand dunes crowds...that was good, but it stopped (yeah, we know the family issues, we get that). GD needs the younger crowds, go after the companies and Social Media sensations that the young 20 somethings pay attention to and follow. What is yore goal, to sell more t-shirts and swag? RDP is an active community, so i doubt that's true.

The two biggest obstacles GD has (IMHO) is the following or lack of:

AP Based Social Media Platforms. We do not have any presence on TikTok, Reddit, Discord, Snap Chat, YouTube or X. Whatever GD is up to, needs to be posted in short 15-30 second reels on those platforms, always giving links back to the forum, give an incentive to sign up as a member (Whip Flag, Coozie, Stickers). We have IG and Facebook, but they need attention. This is the biggest way to get GD out to the masses, at least you'll get the looks....GOOD content will get them to comeback. If a person has to log on to GD via the internet, webpage - this site will not grow. It's all about simplification, use plugs and features Xenforo has to allow sharing of forum content to social media.

Social Events and gatherings (Taco Tuesday) build personal relationships, those relationships bring folks back and then they start to participate, buy swag and stay invested. Everyone that is a longtime participating member, went to a Taco Tuesday, etc. They met a fellow board member, built a friendship and started camping together. We cannot be one big happy family, that dynamic never works, but a message board built on strangers/lurkers is just drama (Pirate4x4, HotBoat, MustangWorld, etc.)

So far all the examples shown are the typical AI generic stuff that looks like everyone else's AI generic stuff - boring, will not stand out at all. You could do what everyone else does out of their garage and copy-cat a Coors or Modelo logo and twist it to GD (lame crap, I'm being sarcastic).

I always thought we were Coca Cola (1886) around here, not Pepsi (Choice of New Generation)

Modernize the current logo, we had a more modern version that looked allot like the Dave and Busters scheme just like Fireball Ben said. Don't throw away an established 20 plus year brand.

On the Coca-Cola logo fyi..

Understood...

I can agree with you, not thinking it is finished. I was just suggesting giving dbart some feedback so maybe he can do some iterations and get it finished to your liking. dbart is wicked good in design and has YEARS of experience you can take advantage of (Maybe you have already done that in private).
