Well I've hopefully got two birds with one stone here by losing the green
for Derek which I must say looks a bit more classy.

Also the Text centralised and "Just a bunch" text on one line and reduced.
Wider border also.

I've even added the screws / rivets - question should they be screws or
rivets? Either way I think the effect will be the same.

New one here...

Classy maybe but rather monochromatic... I had a little play last night
and changing the black BG to a dark green, the text to a lighter/brighter
green and black air brushing worked quite well. Personally the lack of a
"Land Rover green" is a Bad Thing, we have the oval and the flashes.
Looking at a real LR logo I notice that the text is a bold sans serif
italic rather than a blocky serif one... Similar to the just a bunch
text, swap the fonts? I can see the thin lines of the, now better and
smaller, just a bunch text being hard to reproduce on smallish stickers.

I can't see any screws or rivets on ...z2.jpg B-)

I can see the logic in the green but another green oval at a Landrover show
isn't going to stand out at all which has to part of the exercise init.

The Rivets have 3 layers of camo then a layer of matt black over the top...
they are there if you look closely.

However if you want green then maybe homage to another iconic marque could
be introduced to the design though I've yet to see a Landrover Harley Hybrid
maybe this is a first...

... to me it us puting our stamp on our marque, in a similar manner to how
our marque puts a stamp on our driveways. No rivets on this one yet mind!

I'm thinking flag, sticker, spare wheel covers and mugs with profits to
charity of choice subject to a poll.

Fair point, black doesn't exactly stand out though. B-) A light(ish)
green text? Or green flashes?

Aye, I found them when I colour filled the black a dark green. B-)

Trains or stations is what instantly sprange to mind with that one.
