I know it's just getting started...but are their plans on opening one? I know there was a new post every month or so on trailvoy, but seemed like the owners didn't care to get involved. I'm sure it would bring in money to help for site fees etc.

Yes, there will be branded GMTN merchandise offered as soon as we get a finalized logo in place. Official decals will come from Jeff, and the branded merchandise will come from CafePress. Other specialty items may be available from other vendors as demand rises. We've already completed the preliminary phases, we just need a logo now.

Hehehe... can you blame a guy for being eager? :yes:

Not really but the site is still in "beta" with a soft opening. And we don't even have a logo. Though I would love to have decals in place for over the holidays. Last year when I was working a light display there were so many trailvoys that passed by my truck, it would be nice to show things off and get try to get things livened up here in Vegas.

Thank you for letting me be the official source for the decals!
Just so you know Tim (tbuckalew14) does great screen printing work! High quality! Much better than Cafe press!

Mrs. Roadie invested in a computer-controlled six-color embroidery machine, for hats and logo apparel. Another thought.....

Oh crap. I don't think my wife has ever seen those embroidery machines. And that is probably a good thing! :biggrin:

The 2nd one is really close to what I have been using on mine. But the Florescent green paint I have been using comes out a little darker.

Thats the one the wife likes. Guess I need to order up some new stuff. Lil HT and the other rear door may need new labels...

I like your hood stripe. I have been trying to figure what else I could put it on without being too much. I have the lime green shock boots, the lift is done in green, and so are the front and rear bow ties. I thought of the bow ties on the wheels but I want to get different wheels.

The staff will be working on the details, but when it comes to authorization to use or reproduce our logo, there will be a process in which vendors will be required to go through to obtain permission to use it. This has nothing to do with profits and revenues and everything to do with having full control over the site's image for copyright reasons. In fact, we won't be making any profits off of decals and merchandise. The only exceptions will occur when we are trying to plan for an event like Carlisle.

We also don't want to see any members getting cheated or overcharged, so we will not authorize just anyone to go out and sell merchandise while price gouging.

More details to come...
