      Chris knows what's going on. Hopefully he will join us. I know he mentioned on the fitness thread he was looking to getting into shape (though he didn't appear to be out of shape to me)

      I just went through this thread, and the fitness info and the Goruck info is so tightly weaved in with each other that I can't split the thread. Argh, you make a mods job hard 😉

      Btw, if you sign up for a Goruck event, you get a discount on purchases. You might want to take that into consideration if you're looking to buy a pack

      There's a Goruck Challenge in a couple weekends not far from me. Tempted to sign up for it but there's so much going on at home with the new dog

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

        Since we are looking at a date in 2014 and the dates are not yet posted, I have asked GORUCK to provide me with a discount code that anyone who wishes to purchase a pack can use. They said they would sort it out and get back to me. As soon as I have the code, participants can get it from me.

                    This idea occurred to me, as well. Maybe order some blank Ts from G, and have some custom screen-printing done?

                    I like this idea, too. If a custom patch is made (which would be badass), it definitely needs equal representation from IH and GORUCK.

                      For shirts I'd suggest either Jimmyc or g.

                              GR2 is a great bag but definitely not for the challenge.

                                      Let's start with the simplest first.  I think, for a patch, this design is recognizable from a distance.  And the prominence of the red dubya will give our packs a sense of ownership IMO.  I'm thinking of moving the "w" up slightly, but its centered on the patch in the current location.

                                      This is just a sketch, there are definitely more refinements to be made…

                                        Brilliant, Adam. I think the synergy between the two logos is perfect. I actually like it centered, too. It may be a bit busy at the bottom, but it stills looks great. What if "GORUCK" was written vertically along the left edge, and something Iron Heart related written on the right? I also like the simplicity of just the centered logos, without words.

                                        Edit: Upon further inspection, I think that once this mockup is in full color (black background, white words and arrowhead, and red W) it will look even cleaner. I'm a big fan of this sketch, Adam.

                                          I like it without words too, but I'll draw up two other versions for comparison

                                          And on the "W":

                                          On the motorcycle, the "W" is blocked.  But on the pants, the "W" is pointed.  This first sketch attempted to combine the two, but does anyone have a preference one way or another?

                                          Giles, do you have an official position on how you would like the "W" represented??

                                            Looking forward to those. Personally, I think you knocked the combination logo out of the park, on the first try.
