<br>Dear colleques I would like to propose a possible class logo to you all.
<br>
<br>It should be pronounced as "(Formula 16) raised to High Performance" or maybe "... High Power"
<br>
<br>The notation with the raised "HP" is scientific notation convection for a base value that is raised to the given power, in this case the "HP" Inmathematics these are very powerfull functions. 10^100 is more than there are elementary particles in the whole universe
<br>
<br>It hints both at the engineered background of the class and the fact that the class has raised 16 foot performance to a higher magnitude c.q. power. It's base value (platform dimensions) maybe of a 16 footer but the end result of the formula/equation is much more. It is multiplied.
<br>
<br>The logo is also very simple to makeout of standard stickers. Both black and red are pretty bacis colours and the HP extention draws attention to itself. Therefor it won't be forgotten easily.
<br>
<br>The logo may also ofcourse be written in grayscales or pure black in documents. Or be written as F16 HP or (F16)^HP
<br>
<br>What do you all think. Any comment is very welcome. And it is just an idea so shot.

W,
<br>Its a tad too "busy".. I like the thinking but for my tastes the simpler the logo the better..
<br>Any graphic designers in the house??

Wouter,
<br>I finally managed to log on.
<br>
<br>In the UK HP is associated with three items :-
<br>
<br>HP Sauce a brown sauce to put on your french fries
<br>
<br>Hire Purchase a way to get in debt
<br>
<br>Horse Power for Engines
<br>
<br>We dont need to know that Formula 1 is High Power Cars do we?
<br>
<br>So I think F16 on its own is fine
<br>
<br>you could have a wing motive with it to tie up with the plane and wind associations of the grandfather designs

what about f16+ or even just 16+... <br><br>

Well, the class name is "F16 HP" and this should really be found somewhere in the logo.
<br>
<br>Or what we can do is have seperate picture for a logo andhave a convention for how the class name is written on the sails.
<br>
<br>I feel just 16 + is to far away from the class real name and I'm not going to change the name of the class again.
