Cards to hand out for rally and forum info

Electra glide · 12-06-2018, 01:59 PM

Has anyone made any cards to hand out while on trips to let people know about the Forum and rallys? I have been thinking about having some made but don't want to cross any trademark issues. I would like to have the frog that is around on some peoples signatures and this forums address.

Can anyone think of any issues or give me some ideas.

you better have Lisa hand them out... I doubt many people will take them from you

Actually, Oakman gave me his card. It had his Forum name with the website address and then some personal contact information like Cell and email. You cant get in trouble for providing that information.

I used Vistaprint. If you have any type of picture file, they can put it on your card. We used a picture of our trailer. You should be OK if the frog you are talking about isn't a trademark or owned by someone under a copyright.

My step daughter is in graphic design so I thought I might have her come up with a design and then print them up.

You can use the forum logo on a card if you like.

The frog logo is not associated with the forum and may be trademarked.

I have also seen some nice cards that typically have a logo and url and username on the front and then on the back real name, contact info and rig info.

We did our cards on Vistaprint also. They frequently run a 60% off deal. You can see ours here if you click the "Registry" link in the sig panel on the left here.

Send an e-mail to Frog Bob and ask if there is a problem using the FR logo and ask if there is a specific person at FR to talk to about such issues.

The FROG logo, with the word F R O G and a frog peering out of the center of the O is trademarked. The little frogs used on many of the avatars on the FRF are not trademarked by FROG. There may be some other trademark claims that I don't know about...for example, there is a chain of stores that I have seen in some of the resort areas called "Peace Frogs" that uses a frog in its logo. I don't know exactly which design, and I don't know that it is trademarked, although I would suspect so.

Check the Forest River FROG web site and you'll see the tiny "TM" next to the FROG logo.

I just used Vistaprint. With 60% off it was 500 cards for ten bucks.

Here is what my card looks like:

You know you can make business cards yourself, I do it all the time. Go to Walmart and buy Avery business cards. Then go to Avery.com and select business cards and they walk you thru it. Easy Peasy!! I also do my own labels for Christmas Cards and all your projects are saved on Avery.com.
