You'd figure designing a logo for an international organization would be big for a marketing firm, but I guess they weren't proud enough of it to put it in their portfolio. Instead just kinda crappy pharm ads

...I guess it's $40 too much.
But whaddeva... I ain't Kreskin either.
No just a bit literal minded at times.
Judging from the Jump marketing logo, it would appear that they do not employ graphic artists...they probably hire out for the talent. No sour grapes, here, really, just sayin'...but it's par for the course, that is, folks in charge of picking the logos usually do not have artistic training, and, since the world of desktop publishing made computer-generated electronic art tools available en masse, everyone can now do logos. It's kind of like motorcycles - anyone can make them, but are they good?

No estimate on cost? Can we ask someone?
R.E., "anyone can make a bike": Most people could come up with a logo, I suppose. Good, or great logo is another thing entirely.
As to bikes, no, most people couldn't "make" a bike much less even fix one. Thats why we have many threads r.e., how someone else is doing the doing in a restoration/repair. FWIW,we quit teaching mainstream people how to do things many years back. Art class is falling off the chart too, as did shop classes of the past. Drivers Ed,PE, you name it all going away cause we want to measure education by the TEST! results...

I didn't realize that the logo hadn't changed in 40 years, according to the design firm.
I wonder if near this summer's Rally BMW will have spotters hiding behind trees, stopping those of us with now contraband logos presenting us with cease & desist orders or permitting us to surrender them without penalty.

You guys keep going back to the roundel... It's not about the roundel's design.
It's about the use of it and the juxtaposition w/ club logos.
The Germans are big on uniformity and are reeling everyone in who claims to be a club associated w/ BMW.
If you look at 'amiles' avatar that is what they don't want. Corruption of their mark.
If that were a club logo it is no longer acceptable.
I had forgotten about the new requirements released in 2008.
After re-reading them I retracted my criticisms of the new logo's 'design'.
Regardless, it still bothers me that they looked outside the club for the design solution.

Write the treasurer or the associations administrator. Curious, what do you expect that number to tell you?

How about ways to conserve funds in a recession? That would be good for starters...then maybe dues could be lowered ha ha Then we wouldn't have to give bikes away to attract income....or members...just a thought
Easy to "get it right" as I was once the guy with one whole wall of his office full of Kentucky Educational Reform Act reg's!
Roundel or no Roundel, inside or brought on, I still don't like the logo.
