Well now, Just gotta post this from a recent Rennlist thread :) :

“As an old Porsche 911 guy I can tell you that in fact the term "SC" did in fact stand for Super Carrera. Super Carrera was always reserved for the pinnicle of development of the Porsche sports car, and the term was first coined on the 356 SC,--Super Carrera. As factory interest in the 911 was waning in the late 1970s the car was dubed the 911SC for Super Carrera,--as far as it would ever go in development. When Porsche AG hired American Peter W. Schutz he immediatedly sensed the stupidity of killing off the cash cow of the company and immediately injected R&D money into the 911 line instead of following the masses at Zuffenhausen who were going with water cooled and front engined designs. His sense was spot on and the rest is history

Yes. 911 SC stands for Super Carrera. It was to be the last of the 911s, until a boost in development led to the 1983 911SC Cabriolet and following that, the 3.2 Carrera automobiles.

Schutz turned the company around,--doubling sales and increasing after-tax profits ten-fold.”
________________________________________________
“Ah Ha!

So then in fact, Porsche, in keeping with using model designations to indicate the qualitative hierarchy in their cars, deleted the S (Super) from the name of the 911SC's successor, the (NOT Super) Carrera!!”
________________________________________________

“There you go! (Actually, the "Carrera" 3.2 began in the marketing world of Porsche after they decided to keep the 911 line going.)

Further evidence of this is seen in every '911' since the 911SC. Every model of 911 has been given a name instead of a number.”

I like that!:D :cool:

I also really like the above pirate logo with the crest and would purchase several of what ever you produced of this logo as well.

we'll just need to clean it up first...

Didn't somebody here already have a Porsche crest with skull in the middle?
No bad days graphics, perhaps?

Maybe they would let you use their art, gratis.

I like all, don't know about the skull crossbones though.
Did'nt I also read in earlier threads about hood badges too?

Looks great, pirate thing is pretty cool.

BADGES?!?!
 

Yeah, we're still working on the "stinking badges"...

They have the artwork... awaiting the mockup.

I don't want to be a pirate
 

I'm in for another round of design #2 (I have a black tshirt with white design from the last round someone did).

I like the oval design also.

I don't want to be a pirate ;-)

I AM a pirate! Aaaarrgh!

If you do the pirate with the crest, I want two of everything!

I really am a pirate, see:

hehe, my halloween costume last year. Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?

Now thats a sticker I wouldnt want on my ride! LOL!

Nice costume, I did that a year before last.

..........................................Chris:)

I would take a couple of shirts to add to my collection, some more stickers would also be great so the word can continue to be spread

and yet another stinkin' idea...
 

had some time today while I was sick, to ponder the plot. Came up with this new design... (p.s. hope to hear back from printer tomorrow to get the presses rolling)

[try to disregard the black stuff outside the oval:rolleyes: ]

I like the second and the last one

Sorry, but what does the German translate to?
Walter's shaft handler? That's wouldn't be good.

Oh man....ROTF:eek: :eek:

It is actually "world domination action". I guess action and plot are close enough to same for the Germans...

Walter's ... nevermind...

I was talking with Shane about something like this for the hood on my race car:

(sorry my photoshop skills are limited).

Basically it would go on the hood between the two seams that run down the hood lengthwise - see red box in photo below:

Anyone else interested?

Jaydub,

I like this idea of yours more and more - even though you called me Steve! Ha!

We could do this in the vinyl graphics material, or maybe a magnetized material...

Vinyl would be my preference. I've had bad luck with long-term use of magnetic numbers...

Cheers,

Jeff

Also, for everyone, I am getting some of the final designs back from the badge maker. It iwll come down to 2 probably, and once decided, i think he said it would take about 3 weeks.

I'm up for whatever...I'm just proud to BE SCWDP...muhhahahahaa........first stickers..then the world...:)

Thanks Shane!

Badges
 

Got the badge work down to the nitty gritty. They have three designs submitted that they are massaging. Once they are done, they will shoot me back the artwork for final approval. This one is probably what will end up final product...

Here is the deal on badges. I have to have a minimum order of 40 to get them done. So I will initially just do one design. The stickers will be a different story, and I will have a bigger variety for you to choose from. Still have not heard orm my printer, so hopefully that will happen today.

Finally, what does everyone think about using the german translation for "world domination plot" - "weltherrschafthandlog"?
I thought the idea was kind of cool, but some have brought up that it kind of looks like "waltersshafthandling". We certainly do NOT want to give the "others" fodder for their cannons!:D

I like the English version myself.
Put me down for one please.

As badges, I like this style. I have not quite made up my mind which of the two I like best, though - probably the English one with the date. The German word just doesn't match up to the WDP lettering. And there's that thing about Walter.....

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1183121157.jpg

Any chance they are pin-back with proper spacing to substitute them for the Porsche crest on the hood? :)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... now that is an excellent idea as well... Can you provide me with the exact measurements? I am almost sure we could get the posts wherever they need to be, but the only issue will be if they can do that without having to order another set of 40. Well, here's this: we could get the badge to wear two hats: I can ask the manufacturer to make the mounting studs the right size to fit in the alotted mounting holes for those that want to put it up front. But, the same mounting studs will be long enough to properly secure it to the grille as well. Those mounting on the hood in place of the crest would just have to cut off the mounting studs a bit in length. Great suggestion Cash! I just need the exact dimensions to give to the guy. Can someone provide so I do not have to take mine off to measure?

This is all good - count me in....

If nobody gets to it sooner, I'll measure mine after work today.

v8,
I vote for the Super Carrera. That way, I probably won't be asked again "What's the SC stand for? Super Charged?"
You could probably drop the date too, IM $.02 O.

OK guys, please vote at this poll...

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=354611

Mark, I understand the date thing. I have been on the fence with it myself, but for me it came down to this: possibilty of annual badges. I think a new design each year might be enough, but I lean towards the date, kind of like the Old Navy thing...

I just voted on the poll. I noticed after that it is a virtual tie early in the voting. Just my opinion but I like them both. They are both well done and a great add for anyone involved in the plot.

Thanks a ton for your efforts,
Kevin

V8, Thanks in advance, can't wait to see final project. Put me on the list.

SCWDP Badge Poll Part 2 - Added another choice due to input from crowd!
 

[B]I asked Noah to delete the first poll. Please revote. Thanks

OK, gang. Time to be brave and nail down the Super Carrera thing! Seriously, forgetting about the seemingly dark mysteries of the true meaning of SC (perhaps Geraldo can uncover it someday like he did with Al Capone's thing), I need to get a vote here on whether we go with "Porsche 911SC" or "Super Carrera" on the top of the ring on the badge design. Like these:

My personal vote is Porsche 911 Super Carrera, and here is why... We have "World Domination Plot" spelled out below because that is for the WDP, so it seems to flow better for me that SC is also spelled out. I'll leave it to minds more brilliant to continue the debate on whether Super Carrera is accurate or not. I just like it regardless. And that is kind of the crux of this whole deal anyway, isn't it... That's just my opinion, but keep in mind it was free, and might be worth what you paid!

Although I already voted for SC, your logic for spelling it out seems reasonable.

I asked Noah to delete the first poll. Please revote. Thanks

I realize that I'm jumping in pretty late but I'm down with sticker, shirts and possibly a banner if they're available.
