Here it is! - NEW CL sign - Look carefully...

Sorry  Oneputt,  I  have  to  disagree  !!

At  least  the  chocolate  fireguard  would  be  edible  but  I  don't  think  anybody  would  swallow  the  new  sign  !!

The signs are printed on a piece of thin floppy plastic and therefore need a back-board.

I'm certainly NOT a graphic designer, but a little cut and pasting and the CL sign could be made clearer with exactly the same wording!!

Oh dear it gets worse!

(Not you Nev, the thin plastic sign)

"Members only" print is a tad undersize, and no mention of "5 members only".

The sign used before the last one was bold and clear, but also did not state 5 members only.

That's not bad Nev. I quite like the blue bit. It stands out.

Don't know how to do it on the computer but if the walls I - scream bit is swapped for the red pennant and 5 vans only added I could go with that.

I have to say I like very much the sign designed by Nevchap, especially having more emphasis on Certified Location in blue, this would be much more noticeable !!

OK Fysherman, how about this - not going to use the old flag as I'm sure the club won't be changing back!

Unless I have been asleep for the last 6 months what a shame the members could not have had some say in this design of the new logo.

Change can sometimes be a good thing. (so I am told)!

The sign...12 inches by 14 inches in size

It comes across white on some photos in the background.

In reality it's a grey wood grain effect.

Which you can see up to about 4 foot away.

If you look from between 6 foot to 10 foot it looks dirty as if there are marks on the sign(second row down, knot on left)

When you have more distance, say from your car on the road the background looks white .(Except the swimming pool blue at the bottom)

The caravan club want the old signs sending back in a pre paid envelope, So I read somewhere but when the sign arrived there was no note to say this and how would they know who had sent theirs back.

As CL's are all checked by site inspectors every year surely they could check signs have been changed.

Some owners I would expect will not be able to get their signs off boards, so what happens here?

I do feel for the site owners that have printed loads of paperwork/business cards/ flyers with the old logo and websites (some people have to pay for people to alter their website.)

But it's all happened now and we have to go with the flow or do we Ian?

I think that points about the CL sign have clearly expressed, including to the Club Chairman at the 'Question Time' event which I attended in Warrington today.

We have presented the evidence (including the cost of returning the old signs).  I think that it is now time to calm down and let the Club hierarchy make considered decision.

By the way - today's Club Question Time event was very good.  There will be another on 25 March in Bury St Edmunds  (see page 11 of the March 2017 Club Magazine - at the bottom of the page - beneath the photo of pig-racing)
