New CMC logo for CLs

So the re-branding has burst upon us and new signs were up at Moreton in March club site on the launch day (21 Feb 17)

Very unhappy with the new roadside sign for CLs. Club doing its best to make CLs invisible?

What do other members think?

It's a rather shy sort of sign. If I didn't know about the change I would think it an advert for cattle branding or a wild west show. Perhaps a day-glow yellow background would help.

I contacted the CL Dept with some queries on the announcement plus expressed that I was disappointed with the sign and that it would be hidden on a hedge, fence or trees and was advised that it was designed to reflect the great outdoors due to the seasonal warm and earthy tones and the green and blues to represent forest and water.( Where they are I do not know ).  There will be many CL Owners who I think may create their own signage as they will be frightened of not being noticed after all we cannot put up large signs as are used on the entrance to caravan sites where maybe this logo is easily seen.

Sounds like an error on the CC admins crib sheet to me. Only colours I see are muddy ones representative perhaps of overused grass pitches?

I welcome the change in Club name to embrace motorhomers but the proposed roadside signs for CL entrances are inadequate. 

If we as CL Owners create our own signage (which would be a practical way to cope with the transition), this would probably result in many localised variations which would defeat the object of national Club brand identity.

It would be better if the Club gives CL Owners useful signs that spell-out the link between the old and new clubs.

Why is the 5 vans bit missing? Is this going to create problems for CL owners if a sixth person turns up and says "it doesn't say 5 vans only?"

That was my thought as well brue, and the "members only" as well.

A lot of CL we use have extra signage stating name of property, even if they don't trumpet the CL status, so members will still find them. Might be a problem for a few though if neighbours are touchy about signs.

I think the signage regarding who can use the site should be clear. Especially on CLs with absent owners.

A bit like this one for a CL website due to open this year you mean. Note the small text around the 5 saying caravans, trailer tents, motorhomes

Well done, I like that it's a good design, nice and clear.

Put it forward to H.O. for adoption. wink
