id be interested in this as well :lol:

just an idea for names
Calgary Avid Reefers Society (CARS), lol. the acroynm isnt really fish related but couldnt think of anything else :P

Alright, here's the scoop:

We are officially

Calgary Reef Keepers

Basically, not much is going to change (trust me, this is good). Essentially, we're members already because of our online interactions at CanReef. So it's best we organizing any meetings, events right here in the Calgary forum.

I'm going to set up a website that will show off the logo (to be designed), who we are, feature our member's tanks, sell tshirts, golf shirts, mugs, hats etc that you can proudly wear while scraping algae. Most importantly, the site will link back to CanReef so Calgarians interested in the hobby can find the resources they need and connect with the network of people here.

I'd like some feedback about what you'd like to get out of this club, and I know there are a few of you who are dying to help organise events!

Here's a few ideas to get the creativity flowing for the logo:

Let's see some artwork! Think embroidered on a golf shirt or hat so not too intricate.

i like the name, and i am a fan of golf shirts.

just seen the emblems, personally, i really like, the following as they are simple and easily recoginzed in the hobby. maybe like a seafan or some branching SPS, as they are easliy done. i dunno, its just M.O.

coral master;s coral emblem
Korallen zucht, coral emblem
frag factory, coral emblem.

sure, those are good ideas...let's see some designs.

I've registered calgaryreefkeepers.ca Anyone know where we can get some free web hosting? If not, I'll just get the godaddy.com hosting.

Holy smokes!!
 

Jay you are keeping so busy with this!!! I for sure want a ball cap and maybe we could do some monogrammed towels since we all need about a million towels in the hobby.

LOL you don't waste any time.

I have hosted a swap before....not a huge one but....its great fun to meet some of the other reefers close by. I am in as well.

Great idea! I am interested in joining.
I took a crack at a logo. Here's what I got.
Even though I just came up with this logo, I have this weird feeling I've seen it somewhere before...odd.

One Large Reefers Golf Shirt Please, and a Hat :biggrin:

Love the logo with the clownfish - I just bought my first one this month :)

yeah the one that looks like the hearld is cool.

HAHA! YES!! Now I see why it seems so familiar to me. I just randomly picked a font that looked decent. Hilarious! Maybe I'll try another font.

Nice logo hummer! Thanks for stepping up fishytime, we'll definitely use your frag swap experience

count me in as interested in this also......need An Alberta reef keepers ...then Calgary chapter, Edmonton chapter, Red Deer chapter all could form lol

i can be avaible for a tank tour if anyone wanted to come check out my tank sometime, its all good..
we could have pop and chips, :lol:

count me in too!!!!!

No need for cheato yet, as i haven't gotten my tank up yet, but i would love to see the tank.

http://calgaryreefkeepers.ca/ is alive!!! There's nothing there yet but it's alive!! Glennrf38 has offered his website building services to us, so thanks Glenn. We should have some content on the site by next week.


Let's not get too excited until we have at least one meeting! :lol: I'm sure the interest is there, but we need a few reefkeepers to the north to step up if that's going to happen.

Awesome, we'll start the schedule of tank tours right away. Most likely a Saturday or a Sunday in the near future. So wipe the salt creep off those tanks and clean your skimmer cups out, here we come!

Definitely, hope to see you Sunday.

I'll be there Sunday. I'd love to see the tank!

sunday as in today or next sunday?

Today is Friday?

hahaha, your right. dang i shouldn't even be posting right after i wake up:lol:

You just gained a whole weekend.

i did. and i have today off too. woo!

so far my vote goes to the rabbit fish emblem. i agree that it needs to stay relatively simple for merchandising purposes.




Good to see im not the only one who drags his butt outta bed at 1.

Not this week however. couple of 16 hour work days in there.

Hahaaa you are growing up to be just like your mentor... he is never at the store on time, he's a rock star!!! But we still love him. You going to be at the store this weekend?

hahaha, so true. but in a good way.

i'll be working at the store tomorrow from 12:00-5:30 :biggrin:

I asked my friend tona to help out with the logo, as i am not that good. heres what he came up with. i like the "CRK" one.
or the one with the three colors of corals.
let me know what you guys think, i know they are very simple but this mayb work.

So you are opening the store at noon, since he will be late:mrgreen::mrgreen:

Don't tell him I said that, he is going to kill me when he sees me tomorrow... I have to stop by there and see if he is still coming over. I don't even know your real name, I call you Mini C...

I like the colours on the very bottom right hand logo, great job... hoping for black shirts...

haha. i wont tell.

BTW, my name is Evan :)

ahahah

Nice work, those are great! I like the 3 color one as well. I think we'll incorporate the sps, but we don't want to look like we only sell frags so maybe a reef dropoff silhouette and a fish or two should also be included?

yeah for sure, its all good.

Hey! I was early today!

I am so busted now
 

Hahaaa you caught me red handed!!!:redface:

You big old ROCKSTAR!!! Embrace it, Frank sure does. You both have images to uphold.:lol: If you're late tomorrow I will find some green tripe for dinner...

woo
 

Thank you so much for setting this up Jay. I had alot of fun and im sure everyone else who went also had fun.

Your tank looks great and your cheato ball is huge! Again, so happy to have a reefer a block away :biggrin:

i cant wait for this club to get up and running!

been watching this thread. as for the logo i vote the gold one, simple but with a bit of jazz with the 2 different type of text.

the multi-color one is ummm... something you would see on davie st in van-city lol

but great idea
