Club Name and Logo
 

Okay, here's some ideas I've got for an "official" club name, since Doink doesn't make very much sense as a car club name.. :lol:

RASO: Reno Area Subaru Owners club
RASOC: Reno Area Subaru Owners Club
RASE: Reno Area Subaru Enthusiast club
RASEC: Reno Area Subaru Owners Club

All of these acronyms have .us domain names available (which I don't mind registering) and RASEC has a .org available!

Here's some generic euro-oval looking type logos (no, I'm not feeling that creative this morning :lol: ) BTW: I'm just now noticing the thumbnailing in the gallery doesn't work for .gifs... hrmmm. :x

http://doink.net/gallery/Reno%20Meet...ASO_logo1a.gif
http://doink.net/gallery/Reno%20Meet...ASO_logo1b.gif
http://doink.net/gallery/Reno%20Meet...ASO_logo1c.gif
http://doink.net/gallery/Reno%20Meet...ASO_logo1d.gif
http://doink.net/gallery/Reno%20Meet...ASO_logo1e.gif

Of course these'd be changed to match whatever name we like best.

I'm partial to the "Enthusiast" ones, since we're more than just "owners" but RASO is the easiest to remember/say. It'd be sweet to have a .org domain name too, so that helps RASEC up on my list... what does everyone think?

my .015 cents... just a suggestion. reno is sooo small why dont we broaden are group by saying "sierra" that way if people from lake tahoe or truckee or carson, feel the need to join they arent pissed off by having reno stickers on their cars. thats what they did for the sportbike club. also it will increase our numbers. (hopefully)

Not a bad idea!

SNSOC: Sierra Nevada Subaru Owners Club
SNSEC: Sierra Nevada Subar Enthusiast Club
SESN: Subaru Enthusiasts of the Sierra Nevada
TASC: Tahoe Area Subaru Club
SLTRCANASEC: Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Carson, And Nearby Areas Subaru Enthusiasts Club :lol:
NCNSOC: Northern California/Nevada Subaru Owners Club

Gimme some more ideas!

I like either SNSOC or SNSEC.

SNIC: Sierra Nevada Impreza Club
SNIEC: Sierra Nevada Impreza Enthusiasts Club
SNTFC: Sierra Nevada Turbo Four Club
SNAEC: Sierra Nevada All-wheel-drive Enthusiasts Club
SIESN: Subaru Impreza Enthisiasts of the Sierra Nevada

So far nothing's jumped out at me and said "That it!" (SNIC's close, it's nice and simple, but I'm not sure I want to limit to "Imprezas") so keep adding your ideas... even bad ideas, since they might breed better ones.

take your own advice keep it simple.

SSE = sierra subaru enthusiasts.

SFSE = sierra Five Star enthusiasts.

PIES: Performance Import Enthusiasts of the Sierras :lol:
SNIA: Sierra Nevada Import Addicts
SNSA: Sierra Nevada Subaru Addicts
SASN: Subaru Addicts of Sierra Nevada
SARS: Subaru Addicts Reno/Sierra ... okay, no.

I busted out the thesarus:

addict, admirer, aficionado, believer, buff, bug, bum, crackpot, crazy, devotee, eccentric, enthusiast, fan, fanatic, fiend, follower, freak, gate, habitue, lover, maniac, monomaniac, nut, optimist, participant, partisan, Pollyanna, rooter, supporter, votary, worshiper, zealot

what best describes our intrest in Subarus? :lol:

I'd like to come up with a simple and phoneticlly pronouncable acronym...

SAWDE: Sierra All Wheel Drive Enthusiasts

that not a ghey as that ^

SPIE: Sierra Performance Import Enthusiasts
SPOCO: Sierra Performance Oriented Car Owners
SSJ: Sierra Subaru Junkies

SpeedStars?
Night Kidz?
Red Suns?
(heheh, Initial D...)

Free cookie for whoever comes up with the best name!

So far a lot of them sound good. I like the idea of 'import' or 'sports car' club. Since we sometimes have a few cars there other then Subaru's and Impreza's.

"TANN" =Turbo Afficionados of Northern Nevada ???
is that to Broad ???


Hmmmm.. donest have a kick to it huh ?? :?

I like the "SNAEC" thing and maybe have a snake racing on four tires burning rubber.. is that too gayish???? lmao


Hmmm ok how about this : "IONN" =IMPREZA OWNERS of NORTHERN NEVADA ???
OR
"SINN" :twisted: = Subaru Imprezas of Northern Nevada

or "SINNSAE" Subaru Imprezas of Northern Nevada and Surrounding Areas Enthusiasts...

WHAT ABOUT ..... STI= SUBARU TEAZERS INT. :lol: :twisted:

OR STI= SUBARU TERROR INT. :twisted: 8)

hehhehe

SECS: Subaru Enthusiast Club of the Sierras

our bumper sticker would read: "I love SECS" or "Honk for SECS"

:lol:

NICE :twisted:

Well there's no SECS.com, .org, .net, or .us available... damn porn sites!!

Since I'm all outta "clever", I'm leaning towards:

SNSEC: Sierra Nevada Subaru Enthusiasts Club

It's straight forward, and covers pretty much what the club is about, right?

I'm thinking of registering one or several of the following domains:

SNSEC.com, .org, .net, .us or SierraNevadaSEC.com, .org, .net, .us

with the most likely being SNSEC.org. And I guess it'd be pronounced: "SenSec"

I'll sit on this for a few days to see if you guys are more clever than I and can win the cookie with a better idea!

I think it sounds good. Since we couldn't get SECS. :(

Logo?

One more on the SECS idea: secsierra.org is available

Yah I think SNSEC sounds cools when you say it.
SECS is alright also b/c four letters we make a logo look better

SACC=SeirraAreaCarClub

SICK=SeirraImprezaCarKlan(Klan is kinda offensive but who cares)

RACE=RenoAreaCarEthusiast (of course with the word Race on your car you are aksing for trouble, evan)


tyson

Oooohh sure. Leave me out of this..... :roll: :P

Just pretend you're "enthused" about subarus, and no one will notice. :lol: You, BOO, and LabMonkey were taken into consideration when the thinking led away from "Subaru Owners Club" and towards "Subaru Enthusiasts Club".

'Course, I doubt you'd want to put a "Subaru <anything>" sticker on your window... lol.

SNSEC could mean "Sierra Nevada Speed Enthusiasts Club"... ?? But people might try to buy drugs off us at stop lights. :lol:

Wouldn't be the first time. Ooops. :shock: :lol:

HAIR Club(for Doinks)= High Altitude Import Registry Club :lol:

Hey !!! then they would think we were all OLD BALD, AND VIAGRA USIN' FREAKS .. LMAO :lol: :lol:

SPERRY=SUBARU PERFORMANCE ENTHUSIASTS from RENO ROCK YOWL :lol:
Ps: YOWL(HOWL).... LOL
OK I HAVE WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS :lol: :lol:

HOW ABOUT : The "HYPER DRIFTERS" ???? 8) 8)

OR ................. "SNIPER"= SIERRA NEVADA IMPREZA PERFORMANCE ENTHUSIASTS of Reno ???????????????

I have always been partial to SNIC, sierra nevada Impreza Club

TRUE THATS NICE AND SIMPLE...
HOW ABOUT "SONIC" = Subaru Owners of Nevada Impreza Club

Hey !! I wouldnt mind having a sticker/decal on my cars ... to me that represents something i believe in .. something i am a part of .....

Hey, got one more:

SCECS: Sports Car Enthusiasts Club of the Sierras, and all but SCECS.com is available!

This one's vaguely phonetic, the domain name's available, it's Sierra Nevada regioned, and doesn't limit to Subarus or Imprezas... plus if you say it fast enough, it sounds like "sex" :lol: ... and it's a palindrome!

Oooh... palindrome.

awesome palindromes rule!
I will prefer a Rectangle Sticker when I actually put one on my car, unless we really need to be cohesive and everyone has to have the same sticker.
Scott are you going to need a SCECS donation for the paying for the domain name and gettting a host, or do have all that kinda stuff covered? And on that sticker you should show the car(subaru) climbing OVER the mountian buwahahaha!

tysonk

I'll throw in to help fund the domain name. Isn't it like 40$ a year or something minor like that?

I will put in for SCECS. It looks good on decals and I can spell it withouit thinking about it.

the SSATKRC

Scott Sucks At Teh Kart Racing Club? :twisted:

j/k man don't hit.

Geez everyone seems so generous, I have a paypal account(tysonwrx@sbcglobal.net) that you can donate to the Tyson Coil-Over Fund, This is a for-profit Fund that will Help me get the WRX handling I deserve, by way of Tein/Cusco Suspension Products, I work hard everyday and should definitely be given money to spend on myself. IF you feel that giving me money for coil-overs is a bit over the top, I also have a Tyson SR-30 Turbo Upgrade Fund! Please send money to the aforementioned paypal account for that Fund also, and specify that your would like me to buy the Turbo and NOT the Suspension!

,,Thanks for your support!
See yah on Thursday.

Okay, I think I finally got it....

Sierra Nevada Association of Performance Vehicle Enthusiasts

a.k.a.

"snap VE" or "snap V"

all these domains are available:

snapv.com/.net/.org/.us
snapve.com/.net/.org/.us
snap-v.com/.net./.org/.us
snap-ve.com/.net/.org/.us

so there's plenty to pick from... I'd suggest we register both snapv.org and snapve.org.

It's catchy w/o being too "riced out", and doesn't limit the group to any small region or car (in fact it doesn't even limit to cars!)

What do you guys think? Do I get a cookie?

I likey. Let me know if you want me to chip in on the domain.

I like it... Snap-V! kinda like Initiaaallllll-D! :lol:

i like snapv...WITHOUT the " - "(dash) , it kinda reminds me of spec-v, and i have a wrx, Yo!

tyson of sparks

SWRT = Subarus Within Reno Tahoe
STAR = Subarus of Tahoe And Reno

Now we're getting somewhere! Very creative with the SWRT, except the Subaru World Rally Team has that copywritten... :x :lol:

Here's the current guidelines:

- Should represent the Sierra Nevada region... basically Sacramento to Northern Nevada.

- Should attempt to include all performance enthusiasts. We've already got members that don't drive Subarus... (however, because the club is mostly Subaru based I'm thinking they the non-subaru members may just have to live with being in a "subaru" club... after all it's not like we're going around to every sports car we see and leaving URLs... it's really just the Subarus... sorry if anyone feels alienated, it doesn't mean I don't want you in the group! Everyone's truely welcome!!)

- Should have a short phonectically pronouncable acronym... or at least it shouldn't be hard to say!

- Should have an available domain name in the .org top level. (You can check free names at www.netsol.com)

Keep 'em coming JC! Those are some of the best so far... except STAR is a little too "My Little Pony"... ;)

I wanted to do START but I couldn't think of a T.

NNASTE = Northern Nevada Area Subaru Turbo Enthusiasts :lol:

Howabout:

S.O.R. (Subaru's of Reno)
S.C.O.R. (Sports Cars of Reno)
S.C.A.R. (Sports Cars Around Reno)
R.F.A.T.F. (Reno's Fast and the Furious :lol: :lol: )

Last ones a joke of course.
