I think cards are a great idea!

I'm all for it, that would make it easier to leave a note when one is spotted if the owners are no where to be found.

Great thinking guys!

Keep us in mind!

Thanks for the info and keep us posted...
In the meantime, we are looking through the programs we have to create some personal cards, with a picture of our bus on it. We've had some other bus owners do that and give them to us along the way. It helps us remember people and their buses. If we are able to make some of these, we'll put the Eagle's Website link on them...

Songman,
Is the Eagles International logo copyrighted? Can we copy just that logo to incorporate on the cards we are currently working on?

The Eagle logo is actually owned by Silver Eagle Bus Manufacturing. They have never had a problem with us using it for this purpose as far as I know since both of our entities try to help each other. If we wanted to do it for some other commercial venture I would want to get permission from them.

As far as the specific logo that we use on this site and that I used on my cards, I created those and I have no problem with anyone using them.

Thanks Songman, we appreciate your help and advice. We kind of are all here to help each other out. I know I have recommended The Silver Eagle Mfg. Co to several others to purchase parts. Just wanted to be sure about the logo. We've been working on some cards ourselves, mostly just to have on hand to give out to other Eagle owners we bump into. I think we've come up with one that looks ok.We've also made some cards that have our name and a picture of our bus, for other Bus nuts and RVers we meet up with on our travels.

The Silver Eagle Bus Mfg logo actually has the head looking to the right ...Craig changed that ...the old Eagle Coach Mfg logo and all of the eagles on our coaches have the head turned to the left .....so the new generation coaches are looking to the future and our coaches are rooted in the past ....just a little FYI ....FWIW ....

That's pretty cool. I didn't know that.

For anyone considering business cards, stay tuned! Someone else is working behind the scenes to help with smaller quantities and great pricing. I will let her tell what she has in mind, but just know that it is coming.

We are still interested in those cards Songman, but this is what we came up with for now, and it's a good thing because like I said, these Eagles are following me, LOL. I went to unlock an RV at a nearby campground today and there it was...and Eagle 01. but it's owners (I was told) were in Daytona for the races this week. I was so glad I had one of these cards to leave behind for them, and I plan to pay them a visit next week when they return.

Anyway, thanks for the use of some of your design Songman and keep us posted on those cards...

The bottom design is much clearer in person, it just didn't scan very well.
