IVO, if I may, let me elaborate a little on what I think Ed (Panzer) is saying here.......
The people who start and own the various websites are very picky about the banner or logo they create, especially when their site or forum takes off and grows quickly (much as ours has done). I don't know if JC has copywrited the Z06Vette.com logo or not, but irregardless there is usually a very strong negative connotation that comes when the logo is abused, modified or used by unauthorized folks.
I know that your intentions were nothing but good and that 'free advertising' is probably the end result, but I think that Ed was trying to convey that this type of modification is not to be encouraged. Knowing how JC feels about the site and the logo he created, I would have to agree totally with Ed's comments about changing the color.
Once again, let me point out that we understand totally that your purpose was honest and done with the best interests of the site in mind. No personal flame toward you is intended in any way but we do need to discourage others who may consider doing similar banners or logos in the future.
Hope you understand where we're coming from on this
Mike
