Hey, I resemble that remark.
Iwill need two key rings but will wait for the pins to get mine.

I want to have some yellow there as it's been the sites default colour since 1999 and the forums since we started that in 2004. It will be darker than what you see here, the colours lose a bit of punch when converted for web display. Here is another variation, using an eagle similar to the one I made myself for the Irish Goldwing club logo a few years ago;

Here are both of them in actual keyrings. I see the one with the Goldwing is showing it too orange, it should be more gold-looking and I'll fix that soon;

I gave it to Norman and asked him to play with it and this is the first sample that we gave the printer. I'll post an actual photo of it in a keyring tomorrow, I didn't get time to do it tonight;
That's a great logo Steve, going to need 2 key rings and pins here also. Mardonna says she wants a set too? 
Donation to cover it just got clicked...
And, I will pick mine up in Calhoun

Okay folks, I need to move on this fast. We have more or less finalized the keyrings and pins. I've decided that the pin should all just have MEMBER in the top bar and the forum link at the bottom. I don't really think my name should be on it, it's the forum name that needs to be there and as I've said many times before, it belongs to everyone here and not just me. The keyrings will be available with member titles as it's easy for the printer to have a few of title on each printed page. Most of you will probably just want a keyring with MEMBER on it, but at least you will have a choice in this.
Another thing I need to mention is that out German member who volunteered to make the pins hasn't been responding to my messages and phone calls. Seeing as we are committed to getting it all sorted out in time for Calhoun, Button Lady has very kindly offered to make some pins quickly to fill the gap, and she will do them very cheaply. If our German friend gets back to me, I'll ask him to make more in his own time.
The keyrings are on track. My printer friend will have the inserts done in about a week and the bag of free keyrings (250 to get us started) are already in my paws.
Here is an almost finished pin design which just needs to be tidied up, unless anyone has better suggestions;

Totally awesome Steve. I will be happy with whatever you can come up with.
The whole project was totally unexpected and is terrific.
No way will we loose our keys with a nice little identifier on it like that.

Steve,
I can't make it Calhoun, but I am more than happy to pay the postage to me in North Carolina, USA. I assume you will let us know how much and when to send you $$$, right?
Thanks!

| Thanks Derek. It's too late for the keyrings as the printer is already doing them. I might be able to use that on the pin though...
