NOVA: Zs & Coffee - Starbucks every Saturday @ 10AM

SHIROZE · 08-08-2010, 05:38 PM

Nice selection of 35/37s & 350s, but no 370s

at Burke Lake.

If you guys want to meet their for a cook out, reservations might be needed.

Hey everyone. Had a great time Saturday! I should be available for this weekend. Just let me know where/when.

Sscottfitz · 08-10-2010, 07:00 PM

OK, so here are the final drafts for comment/suggestions. After discussions on Saturday, I altered the approach a little with a Front & Back design.

- Front design is intended to be a "generic" group info, when & where we meet, forum contact info, etc.

- Back design is intended to be an "optional" back of card design for those who wish to add personal contact info.

Personally, I don't think there is a right or wrong design, I think as long as the info is consistent, it doesn't really matter....

THAT SAID, you will note I drafted a couple of "group names" -- I'll defer to the group as to which one is preferred -- pretty sure there are positives & negatives to both, also sure there are other names so I'll just leave those out there for feedback.

Once we get a consensus (or something close to that), I'll finalize the designs and post them -- Editable design is done in MS Word 2007 -- templates are designed to fit the Avery Business Card Stock #5371

Ok- so I looked at the front and my ADD kicked in - I vote for whatever says "All Z's Welcomed" - thanks for the time and effort

SECKS Z · 08-11-2010, 10:09 AM

These are awesome!!!!

I like the card on the right with the Z's and the logos as the wheels.
I think you should take out the bit about Kohl's and just say the Starbucks and the address. All Z's Welcome is fine. If you don't want to do color, we could change the typeface and make it a little jazzier (but still easy to read quickly). If you do decide to use color then try it with the Mid-Atlantic Z Group, the bold Z's and Coffee, and the bottom All Z's Welcome. And mayyyyyyybe try color on the outline of the cars (which color is the dilemma though) or you could make different color options and we can just choose which color and print it that way.

Thanks guys- you rock.

I only welcome 370Zs! Brian, you are allowed because you work at a bank and can get us money.

shadoquad · 08-11-2010, 10:13 AM

I definitely like "Mid-Atlantic Z Group" better than "National Capital Region Z's". The latter, to me, sounds a little too D.C.-centric.

Yeah, keep it to Mid-Atlantic. Actually, when we formed this little group we were the Mid-Atlantic 370Z Owner's Club "MAZOC"

I don't get it... ??

Only if we have Miata doors!

Lt. Dan · 08-12-2010, 04:02 PM

Pretty awesome!!! Is this the final design? If so, I'm gonna print them and leave them on my desk here at the dealership...

Actually, I'm doing a final tweak based on some feedback from m4a1mustang & SECKS Z -- should have the final cut out later this evening.

Sscottfitz · 08-12-2010, 07:50 PM

So here are the “Final Templates” along with some explanation…..appreciate the feedback from everyone, as a result, I think the end product is better.

PM me with the e-mail address you want me to send the MS Word Templates to, as apparently I can't attach them to this post (could only do the .pdf's)

Final updates/changes:

- Used the original group name “Mid-Atlantic Z Owners Club -- MAZOC” on both designs

- Used a generic “Ariel” font which can be easily changed if you prefer something different

- Didn’t do color, but it is something that could easily be added if desired

- Kept two designs, if one is preferred over the other – just use that design

Some edit & printing notes:

- Template is formatted to fit Avery 5371 Business Cards and was done in MS Word 2007 – the 5371 card stock is readily available at most Staples & Office Depots.

- Recommend you delete the borders before printing to card stock – I kept them in the template for alignment references – if you make edits, they will be helpful…

Other stuff:

- If you want to do something different for the card back, that option is of course there – I did one for myself that included a Roadster profile (copy attached)

Good luck and see ya’ll on Saturday…
