Hey Folks:
Here is the latest version of the banner. A couple off notes:
- As I was playing around with the signature image files, they were breaking down as I scaled them and not looking so hot. I could convert them to vector graphics, but frankly, don't have the time to do that, so I punted on that. Sorry I could not make that work out (I have deleted any image files folks sent me).
- Still playing around with placement of the signatures
- For those of you who have sent me info, please check and make sure its to your liking (I had to do a bit of editing on some submissions, but apologies in advance if I totally hosed something up). As one last reminder, this info will be displayed in a semi-public place.
If you still want in:
- Send me your info to osultan at mac dot com
- The cut-off is 5pm PT tomorrow (05 Jan 15)
- Cost: I am picking up the cost for this (its not that much). As I said up-thread, if you have holiday money burning a hole in your pocket, instead of sending it to me, please consider donating to AlphaK9 which is a non-profit I support that donates service dogs to vets with PTSD.
In terms of the timeline:
- Finalize layout: 05 Jan
- Submit design to Tesla and TMC for approval (as we are using their respective logos): 06 Jan
- Production: 07 Jan
- Presentation: Late this coming week or early the following week

This may be an unpopular sentiment, and if I am shouted down, outnumbered, etc., I understand.
But personally I think the signatures should be signatures, without additional comments. We, as a group, are making one, combined, group statement on the banner. Our names are our attestation to agreement with and participation in that statement. The additional comments detract and distract from that one, group statement. The banner was not to be a place for additional, individual statements. Everyone had the opportunity to make statements of their own through Bonnie last week, and at any time in the future, by simply sending a note to the company.
So I'd like to see the signatures become just that--signatures, with VIN numbers, and that's all. No statements of any kind in the signatures.

I didn't mean they had to be signatures. I have no problem whatsoever with the current appearance. I just mean the names and VINS shouldn't also have individual messages.
I don't have religion one way or the other, although if we get an influx of new folks, I may have to cut the statements to free up some space.
Yeah thanks for the work - really appreciated. I'm ok with the signature as is and if the consensus is just signatures/VINs I'm fine with that too. Apologies if I haven't dug far enough back in the thread but have we committed to where an how to contribute to the banner?

I'm fine too with adding location, etc., as long as we're consistent. The thing that bothered me was personal messages supplementing the group message.
I get that, but I also don't want to compel folks to reveal more info about themselves than they want to otherwise...different folks have different sensitivities around privacy and am trying to be respectful of that.

My 2 cents: Thank you! I would 'suggest' that personal messages be taken out and 'country' of each person be put in. This will create more space, add uniformity and not give out too much personal information but let the TM staff know that the thank you and TMC community is international.
OK, how about this:
1) I will remove the personal messages
2) Everyone who has sent me info, please e-mail me you your preferred country
I have never found Tesla owners to be a particularly uniform bunch, so I think that is a good balance.
