Board icon

[RRio]

I was toying a round with an idea for a board logo.Since Uberti and Pietta are the main two this is what I came up with. Yea or Nay?

[DeaconKC]

That looks nice. Are you planning on replacing the horizon pic, or would this be used for something else?

What horizon pic?   

[Abilene]

I've thought for a long time it needs a picture of an SAA repro with a brass grip frame.  Though the brass grip frame is not authentic, that is the way the Italian replicas started out and it identifies it as a replica.

[Buckaroo Lou]

I like it, but I don't think my liking it will carry much weight. 

[Kent Shootwell]

Those are nice, or maybe an Italian flag.

I've got a nice picture if an Iver Johnson Cattleman from about 1975.

[RRio]

I sent the original idea to the Marshall, he seemed to like it. Just trying to find something, since it has been blank ever since this board started. Let's see some ideas. 

[Kent Shootwell]

Maybe this?

[Abilene]

Maybe this?...

Kent, that is the longest link I've seen in my life!  Also, those are not SAA clones. 

[Abilene]

I've got a nice picture if an Iver Johnson Cattleman from about 1975.

Well heck that would work!

[Kent Shootwell]

Yes I see that, what I had hoped to relay was a popular western image from our movie viewing past. Not realistic but how we might portray our sport. Clint Eastwood had a great influence on cowboy image for many of us.

[Abilene]

Well then, in that case I'd suggest a screenshot from Fistful of Dollars where the hombres make fun of his mule and he takes them out.  Good closeup of the gun being fanned.  I'm thinking that is an Italian copy.  Or heck, just a picture of an Uberti copy with the snake grip.  Everyone can relate to that.   

[LonesomePigeon]

I like the brass grip frame idea, instantly says repro to me.

( I'm thinking he used his own Colt.)

[RRio]

One more example. (I'm done.)

[RRio]

Hey Marshal,
I'm gonna make a call here, and request that we use this for the board icon.

[Niederlander]

I like that.

[Coffinmaker]

Ah, 

Ah (repeated), WHY do we even "need" an "Icon???"

[King Medallion]

Why not? Almost every other brand has one. I think the Uberti brand is a good icon. That's my vote.
