Rally Poster - Yes or No?

Updated Images

I tallied the responses so:

#6 - 12 votes
#3 - 5 votes
#7 - 3 votes

All the others got one or none, so I've tossed out all but #6 and #3. There were 9 votes for rounded corners, so I offer these two new versions combining these votes: #8 is #6 with a rounded boarder line and the art deco font, and #9 is #3 with just the change to a rounded boarder line. So, what I would call a "traditional" header and footer text layout the most popular layout. I have included the original #3 and #6 so you can view them on one page. With the two original designs and the two new variations, you have every combination of boarder and font. On most screens if you adjust the web page width correctly you can get #3 and #9 side-by-side on one row, and #6 and #8 on a row below. The polls are open. Thanks to everyone for their input!

#9 for me
 
As I have aged, my eyesight must be deteriorating.

I am obviously missing the obvious. What are the differences between #s 6 & 9? :dunno

There aren't any. Some people voted for #3 but wanted to see the rounded corners on the boarder, and others voted for #6 (which is #3 with rounded corners). Some wanted #6 with the art deco font. So, I made the requested mods to both #3 and #6 and posted them as pairs. I though that might be easier than trying to explain the "overlap", but you caught me. :laugh
 
The poster at the Billings Rally a few years ago was an ideal garage size poster (11x17ish), not too big; not too small.

A tin sign that size or even a bit less would also be effective, but not overpowering (and possibly cost efficient).
 
Our options at this point ARE paper posters, either the typical large 24x36" size or the medium 18x24". Sticker money has been spent on stickers of the rally logo which should be included in your rally goodie bag, so there will be stickers but they will not look like the posters here. Tin signs, etc. are not cost effective for us nor is there time to have them produces. Not a bad idea - I like it - just no time. It is very hard to get things like that, and pins, etc. or to get them in a timely way. The supply chain issues you've heard about are real as we've experienced them for the rally. Thanks!
 
Just for fun I looked at options for having a custom metal sign made. I found two vendors that will take an uploaded image and print a "tin" (really aluminum) sign of a smallish size (5 in x 7 in or 5 in x 8 in) for prices ranging from $17.50 to $23.00. Shipping would cost extra. The vendors are:

I tried to use an upload of image #6 on a 5 x 7 aluminum sign with collage.com and the resultant price worked out to be $38. I did not finalize the order.
 
I’d prefer the smaller size of the two dimensions you quoted. It would be most likely more cost efficient for the club as well easier for Rally attendees to pack for the trip home.
