Hey....so am I....but not in California....but the other side of the country. And I come from the design side. Very cool.

Anyhoo....back to topic.....I certainly hope none of the VAXC folks are wearing the T-shirt if they get stuck and need a pull from a non-Xterra passerby. Could be embarrassing to say the least.

Of the three alternate logos, the third, I agree, is the most promising. I see an attempt, at least, to be going for a bit of a retro-feel. Not just in the VAXC logo, but in just about all the samples on the Cafepress page. Interesting.....but what is the conceptual nature of that approach? Just curious. Also....if he has been doing this since 18, may I ask what design education he has?

Ahhhh well.....It's all good. If you enjoy the logo and VAXC does as well....go for it. But I would suggest taking the third approach and message that for a while. See what comes of it.
