Well
yahoo for you!! You found the only Easter Egg on the
site. (For all you newbies out there, an Easter Egg
is a secret page on a website.) Anyway, being the
webmaster for the site, I wanted to set aside this page to
give you a little insight into the decision making behind
the club's logo. It was
a wild and crazy process having everyone vote on a
logo. After all, we all wanted cool t-shirts!

What
does "First Coast" mean? |
|
Naming the club was the easy
part. The whole area of northeast Florida is
called the First Coast. Since we wanted to reach
people in Jacksonville and the surrounding area, we had to
give it a familiar name for everyone around.
Some of the failed names for
the club:
- The River City Redliners (Jacksonville
has a river through the middle of it.)
- The Jacksonville Redliners
- Northeast Florida Hot
Wheels Club

Why a '32 Ford? |
|
The name of the club was
pretty easy to settle on compared to the club's actual
logo. Since I was in charge of all the graphics for
just about everything, I got to use my creative license and
come up with the stuff I really like. The group wanted
an old hot rod type car with something else to reflect that
the club is in Florida. Well I thought about it for a
while, and I have
always wanted a '32 Ford 3-window coupe. I first fell
in love with the '32 in the movie American Graffiti.
Now I know that Ford was a 5-window, but I personally like
the three. <starting to daydream> Well after
much deliberation and over thirty different illustrations, we
finally decided on a logo. After all, it's hard to
dream up all this stuff for each meeting!
Here are just some of the failed logos that were voted down...

You can see my eventual migration to the yellow
'32 Ford. But the real inspiration for the logo came from this picture, and
as for me, that was all she wrote...
