Number 1 is too plain and Number 2 is too busy. Maybe put like 4 different cars on there and some font other than the font in number 1

#1 looks better to me, but it needs a few little changes to make it more interesting... Maybe a light border with red/blue (the colors you used in the symbol), or a "GM" symbol as a light watermark image in the center of the page or something... I don't have PSP or PS at work to be able to bring my ideas to life though... What ever you decide, make sure you post it in the midewest forum and I'll print a few out to hand out to 3rd gen'ers at Porky's/Hardees/North End Diner at the car cruises until the meet.

i like this one. my only suggest would be to put the 82 on the leftmost flag, and leave the 92 where it is. other than that, that's the nicest one

I like the last one, the one with the real cars.

Also, is that a Des Moines area number you are going to use? If not, you may want to have someone with a Des Moines local number add their number to the poster as well. If it is a local number, nevermind!

I emailed you a sugestion about the gathering and dinner. I wil post in that topic as well.

Oh, one more thing, maybe list on there the info about the news being there as well.

I would have to agree with Diabolical. I like his idea with where to place the 82 and 92 but here is my suggestion. Put the 92 where the 82 is and the 82 on the other side. Red flags on the bottom and checkered flags on top. If you would prefer to have the checkered as the bottom flag would be fine and move the red flags and numbers to the top would look great as well.

How come you didnt put the info about the news station being there? That seems like it would really attract people.

Well, first off, I hope this all works out for you. It looks like it should be a lot of fun, wish I could be there. Secondly, you can't have a "first annual" of anything, it's the inaugural. Things don't become annual until it's been more than a year (just a pet-peeve of mine). But anyway, I was bored, so here's my rendition of what I would make the banner look like, let me know what you guys think.

ok i will note that. what fonts did you use? also, could you post that chevy symbol separate? thanks

also, i dont think i want people calling me to ask when and where it is. i would rather have that info right there for their convenience.

Well, as far as the info on the banner goes, I was just using all the same stuff you had on there. The font that I used for the "porky's diner and fun" thing was Calisto MT, with Bold and Italic (my favorite). K, well hope you liked it, here's the chevy emblem.
