Day Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 If I open a DCFC Fans dealership on the main road I may include text. On the forum itself? No. If you Google Derby County Forum you will see DCFC Fans, click the title and know where you are. If you bookmark us, our name will be on the bookmark.If you come via social media you will see our username and the URL in the profile which tells you who we are.I'am totally comfortable and happy this is the right direction to take the forum branding.

i-Ram Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 For what worth I think it a bit cack (the logo and all that) but as Kim Yong-un (sorry I mean Daveo) says, he is in charge. At least he is only imposing a dodgy looking Ram on us. Believe me it could be worse. Much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I think it's ok. It's like the ram has had a hair do. Sometimes when my missus comes back with a new hair do it takes a bit of time to get use to it. Mind you i always tell her it looks ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 you do realise the Ram's horn twists. It's not hair, nor a turban!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Bottom of the clubs badge is almost horizontal, if I had a protractor I'd get the extact angle but I haven't seen mine since 1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Oh, the logo is the head of the Ram. I get it now. Still cack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Anything other than the official Ram just dunna look raite.The one chosen is ***** tbh but any variant of the iconic Ram would.I would buy a t-shirt with just "dcfcfans" on it without a strangely shaped rams head.A Che Guevara type t-shirt with Boycie's face would sell by the shed load I reckon..

Day Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 This is the problem, I would love to slap the official ram up there but I can't, not without a grand + a year licence then 12% of any sales, I really don't think people are getting this, to use the logo I have to pay £1250 every 12 months then hand over 12% of sales. Merchandise is the next step to really try and push this site on.Make the horns smaller like the official ram, tilt the head like the official ram, before you know it we're back to square one. Yes it doesn't look like the official ram, I know that and it never will be unless the club decides to back down on licensing fees to fan sites.Take a look at other fan forums, see how many have attempted a custom logo, LTLF just plain text, Red Cafe plain text, it's so hard to get it right, recognisable yet not close to infringing copyrights.
