logo/name help

Blazing Saddles is funny! But I can't recommend it as a serious name for
a club, especially for a family-oriented club. As a cyclist, it first
makes me think of the movie (and everything that goes with that), and
then it makes me think of what my crotch feels like toward the end of a
very long ride...

I like your "Wonders" idea. But how about "One-ders?"

The first time I saw that, I thought it said "The riders" because the
shape of the saddle looks kinda like a lower case r. Anyway, I think
the one-ders is a keen idea.

Would you be apposed to using a modified Wonder Bread logo? I think it
could make for a sweet looking club graphic, I always have liked their
color scheme.

The other thing that I think of is a late 60s British invasion band that
was parodied in the movie "that thing you do"

Also where were you thinking of meeting at? I should be able to make any
club meeting in the pittsburgh area

Next week I think I'm going to Billham's meeting south of the city to
meet up with his crew for a ride. Anyway keep me posted on whats going
on, I'll try to make an apperance or 3.

Yeah, Blazing Saddles gets me giggling too.....every single time!
Here's a very rough development of the Fun on One concept.

ooooo....like that Wonder Bread idea! Thanks. Billham's group is the
one that we're looking for the name for....I should have made that
clear......oops. It was his suggestion to post the help request here.
The group is lots of fun, I look forward to seeing you there one of
these Tuesdays.

Time to go out and buy a loaf of bread.

I've always read your avatar as "Riders", with the saddle and frame
being a lower-case "r" and the cranks and dot as an "i". So you could be
the 1-ders Ri-ders.

Mike - It would be great if you can make it this Tuesday. Thanks for
working up some artwork for us.

To everyone - Any additional ideas for a club name? I think we have a
couple good possibilitie4s, but would like to mull over a few more ideas
for names.

I thought it was an "I" and said idlers, since I can't read.

I like the Wonders and the Fun on One, but I definitely prefer the Fun
on One. Loved the graphic you did too. Pretty darn good if you ask me,
but what do I know... I'm just a bystander!!

By the way, I missed you Tuesday night. I was there doing my thing
(bystanding that is).

Keep up the genuis!!

I also missed you guys on tuesday night, I even drove out in rush hour
traffic only to drive past the turn off of off McMurry or whatever that
road off of 19 is. I spent probably an hour going back and forth off
every road I thought had a chance at being the right one. I think I even
made it to Tomas st at one point.

Thats the last time I leave directions at home for some church in the
boonies.

btw there are like 30 churches in that area and you wernt at any of the
other ones, I checked :-P

My preference on club names is Deffenatlly The Wonders (Spelling it
One-Ders is a bit played out if you ask me) Unfortunatlly I was a bit
busy and only got a few sketches down but nothing photoshoped up to show
you.

Hopefully I'll be able to make another trip down that way soon and
actually find your secret hide out then.

Cheers
Mike

Bummer to hear you tried to find us, but the directions would have
helped a lot. 😉 Next time you come down, we'll be sure to have a cell
phone number for you to call in case you get lost.

Unidaddy wasn't there either, but we still had 23 riders for the nights
and a few spectators. Once warmer weather comes, you'll have to come
down and help me get some of these people hooked on trials.

Fun work you did with Gilby's avatar. That's a great uni logo Gilby
did. Something of that nature would make a great club logo also. Have
any ideas in that direction?

Sorry about the absence Tuesday night.....my volunteering of my absence
at work wasn't well received! I had to be there.

I hope you give the trip down south another chance Checkernuts! It's a
great group of people. I echo Billham's sentiment about your
avatar....very cool.

Uni-mom/bystander. Thanks for the nice words, Billham had some
reservations about the asymmetrical quality of the Fun on One logo
attempt. I think I might tinker around with that one, but I have a soft
spot in my heart for the Wonders. Anyway, this all might be a moot
point with Checkernuts taking a stab at it, I get the feeling that the
talent runs deep there.

Thanks for the great ride Sunday, Bill. Nice neighborhood for riding!

I'll tinker with this logo and post whatever I come up with (if it's
significantly improved).

Okay, here's my little attempt at Checkernut's idea. He suggested using
the Wonder Bread logo and modifying it. What do you think?
