Turn the outer ring of your design into a 'bar tread' tyre. and the LR logo can sit atop a traditional hub.

A few mods and I'll have some as coasters, right now!

Cheers, GQ

Thanks GQ

ops:

I'll have to "run those ideas up the flagpole" with the people from the agency over a long (but creative) lunch...I'm struggling with the Tyranny of the Oval particularly with the major axis vertically aligned...such are most beer labels. It all makes much more sense with the axis in the consuming position :wink:

It's thirsty work :wink:

Hi Mahn,

I went to an agency lunch and didn't come back for twenty years. Work was just something to do for a while from about 9 - 1.

You don't actually need an oval, just because that is what others have done, be creative, be different and be seen! Remember, Land Rovers, and their owners are different!

You could include under your wonderful line about leaks, the dreaded 'loctite bolt' hanging below the internal rim of the label, maybe with a small smiley face on it...a true 'in joke'...(no offence to those who've suffered this 'issue').

Haven't seen a bar tread in years but they have a definitive 4wd graphic icon quality and mean business.

Especialy given that most new 4wds have road tyres on them, even the D3.

Cheers, GQ

I was saving the loctite gag for the crown seal cap design :wink:

"Use Special Tool ERR666 to open"

That gives me an idea... a sexy blonde in a bar she takes a bottle and lowered out of sight removes the lid...what do you think? :wink:

One_iota I'll drink to that!

**Quiggers** · 4th May 2006, 09:02 PM

Simple, Mahn, the answer is, there must be something below the bar which removes bottle caps, and I'll that to the vivid and creative imaginations of the many on our site....is there a moral to this idea? never drink out of bottles....I'm going now...

cheers, GQ
