Whaddaya mean, could be better? It's perfect and sums us up well.

Maybe the state outline more like MattJ’s and the grill spread out a bit more to fill out the state better?
Use the winch hook for the J in Jeepers?

Crazy but true. This is why some fabricators use six or eight slots on their stuff. Seven slot grill is trademarked.

"As you may know, the Jeep® Grille (the "Mark") is a registered trademark of FCA US and cannot be used without FCA US's permission. Please be advised that any unauthorized use by you of the Mark in connection with the identified goods, i.e., aftermarket automobile parts and accessories and clothing, or on any other related goods, is infringement of FCA US's Mark and is likely to confuse customers as to the source, origin and/or sponsorship of related services and products. At the very least, consumers are likely to believe that your use of the Mark is approved or sponsored by FCA US. Any unauthorized use of the Mark by you now or in the future constitutes infringement and will cause FCA US irreparable injury. We, therefore, must insist that you immediately cease and desist any sale of aftermarket automobile parts and accessories, clothing and any other goods bearing the Mark and/or agree not to sell such items in the future."

Just in case any of you are wondering why the Trail Beast grille design has eight teeth . . .

hmmmm... thought it was just:

When I first started working on the design, I did get a lot of comments that "There's no such thing as a middle tooth." Which is true, I guess, since an even number does look more balanced. But apparently FCA believes they own the rights to seven of anything - seven teeth, seven cupcakes, seven dwarfs, who the hell knows. And yes - I did point out to them that a Hummer grille has . . . yes . . . seven slots.

Don't be so sure...

Here's what the seven-tooth design used to look like:





Anyway, sorry for getting this discussion off track, but I do agree that using the Jeep logo in our club logo might cause a headache someday. So I figured that was worth mentioning here in this thread. FCA clearly has become more aggressive in attacking Jeep enthusiasts, aftermarket products and even magazines for Jeep fans:

Changed logo for the time being to reflect social distancing

Missing an "r" there.

I think Randy's is good. Its understated and clean

Combine Matt's state and text with Randy's grill concept.

Maybe we should have a friendly contest to rename the club in case FCA gets upset with us. Maybe Jaystate Beepers? Baystate Joopers? Baystate 6+1 Slotters?

I'm still leaning toward the unicorn with explosive rainbow diarrhea.

Jaystate Beepers, or Wheelin' Massholes.

Here is my contribution.
