Dude, Put it back. 

[70charginglizard]

I don't see the little c with a circle around it anywhere.

So we tweak it a little for our own purposes.

[Lowprofile]

Thats "Gimmick" Infringement, Bro. Very Bad   Bad things happen to people who help themselves to other peoples things

[70charginglizard]

Fine!
I guess well just have to settle with a little tinie tiny "DodgeCharger.com Forum" in the corner of our web site.

Just trying to bring some idea's forward to help. I wasn't trying to necessarily use that one....Dang. chew my head off why don't ya.

I'll go back to my little corner.

I kinda like the little horsey logo. Although, I think the "Knowledge is Power" slogan is giving too much credit to certain people...

It's copyrighted whether the little 'C' is there or not. We'll have our very own sometime soon. I guess I can make the text bigger for now since we officially have the name.

the problem is the horse... already taken by PHORD... you know what car

Actually I believe it's the combination of the horse with a rider holding a lance that means charger. I believe that the charger registry site identify's that means Charger.

I seem to remember going to Charger Registry show years ago and the award for best charger was a horse with a rider holding a lance.

Any comments?

[Troy]

One definition of "Charger" is:  A horse trained for battle; a cavalry horse.

I don't think the rider and lance are required.

I kinda like it, but logo looks more like Charging Knight.

In my opinion (and I do emphasis the word opinion) that the knight with the lance adds the nestalgic element to it. Not necessarily a factor, but a very cool additive.  

Not to mention the fact that I really love that ol King Arthor, Knights of the round table thing.  

Not to change the subject but, have anyone of you guys seen that movie "a knights tale" ?
Cool movie, funny too and some killer tunes in it.

[Nacho-RT74]

I didn't know all the story about the horse, knights tied to Charger word in English vocabulary... Nice !!!. In fact Maybe Chrysler ( THE OLD ONE, NOT THE ACTUALLY ) take that word exactly for that reason.

anyway I was joking about the "problem" with the horse

Raphaels' Saint George and the Dragon.

Hey, here is my idea:═ ═

I like this one, except DODGE should be in different font

I agree. Don't mix that classic stuff with the new crap. No comparision!

If your going to use any dodge font in it, then you should use something like what they actually used in 1970 on the Challenger. Although it isn't found anywhere on my Charger.

[IBsmokin]

I like my version of the header!!

same here... I DO LIKE THE CHARGER LOOK... A LOT

[Charger_Fan]

What about this one?

[B5 Charger]

How about using the old Charger red black and chrome arrow emblem.  It was used on all of the classic Chargers and none of the newer one's.  I always wondered why the old board used the pentastar instead of the arrow.  The arrow seems like the logical thing to do.

like it

[Charger_Fan]

Me too.

[Nacho-RT74]

I like the idea, but separated, not overlayed... using the other Charger looks...

That was a good one to separate the classic Charger from the others: the arrow...

[Steve P.]

I think more common to most of us would be a guy standing at the parts store check out line with a credit card in hand......

I just like the overlay look because that is the way Jesse did it on the old site (except of coarse he overlayed Charger over the Pentastar emblem on his)

Im sure Bill will come up with something that all of us will love. He's really great at this kind of stuff. Hopefully my sugestions helped.

I like it, I like it

I have one fact I'll share about Lizard's header and another "fact" I assume to be true but have no way of verifying it.

First off, headers that use the old English or Victorian script in newspapers are there to create an image of established experience, authority and history. Papers that use it typically have been around a long time such as the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and The Washington Post. It's a trick that typically tells readers that the paper is really old, well-established and authoritative. In my mind, when I see this type of script in relation to a car, I would think of something like a Model T or any other 20s or 30s vintage car. i don't think that type of script really fits the Charger's image.

Second, I believe that red and black Charger emblem was designed to look like a pennant or part of a coat of arms used by knights as part of their uniforms. This is the "fact" I'm not sure of but when I look at that emblem it appears to me that it could be a pennant like those we assume were flown by knights riding their chargers into battle. Just a guess but it seems logical to me.

[B5 Charger]

I don't care what the arrow emblem means historically.   All I know is when I see it I instantly think "Dodge Charger".   I don't see any reason to use vague symbolism to establish a visual concept about what the board is all about.   I think all of the knights, horses and fancy scripts would be confusing.   After all we are a classic Dodge Charger board.   At least that's how I see us.   Use the classic Charger emblem script with the classic arrow emblem and that will speak for itself.     

BTW lizard I like your example.  It needs a little refinement but that's exactly the type of thing I had in mind. 

[Lowprofile]

What about this one?

Now thats Funny!!!

[B5 Charger]

Tell me this thread isn't dead.  Can anyone come up with some alternate headers using the classic arrow?   

[70charginglizard]

Well at least the original header is bigger now.  Thanks Troy.

[Silver R/T]

ya its slowly improving

[IBsmokin]

Lowprofile  it wasnt that funny!

[FastbackJon]

How's this for a new site header???

[FastbackJon]

Or even better....
