But time is a ticking and if the words doesn't get out we won't make the timeline.

Hi Shari, smiles

Just wanted to thank you again for starting this challenge

and creating a name sounds like a great idea!!!!



Hi everyone, Shari is asking for any ideas you have for our team.

Shari suggested: Goldeneye with a Tiger as our Logo.

fawn suggests: Golden girls

karishma = 24-Carat Carb Crushers

All ideas are welcomed.. please share yours


Does anyone know how to make a symbol signature? I dont

How about 24-Carat Carb Crushers for our "golden" name?

Karishma,

I love the name, but let's get everyone else's imput.

Maybe we can find some gold bricks for our logo and impose a team name on it.

24 carat team formed in less than 24 hours. Wow!!!

Good Going Team.

Shari

If you google gold and click on images, images of gold will come up I'm sure. That's how I got my lightning pic. The image editing site I used for color and text was...

hope that helps.

I would like to join but I only have about 12 pds to lose and have been stalled for weeks - I wouldn't want to hold back the team if I don't lose anything - what do you think?????

We can do this!

For a name how about:

Gold Metal Divas
or
24-Carat Divas

Woah Fawn - thanks for the welcome. You know it's already Monday the 1st here in Australia - I am 12 hours ahead of you all!!!! When do you want me to post my stats?????

BTW - have always wanted to be a Diva!!!!!

I think all the name ideas are good, but I keep going back to

24 Karat Carb Crushers (sorry about the "k", but carat is for diamonds)

All this talk about gold has gotten a song I used to sing at karaoke going through my head... "Band of Gold" by Freda Payne- not the happiest of lyrics, but a great tune!

Actually, "Band of Gold" isn't a horrible idea for our name- since we are banding together to meet a goal...

oooh, now the whole 'team' concept has me thinking of all sorts of motivational sayings I've heard over the years...

"There is no "I" in TEAM"
"Teamwork makes the dream work."
"T.E.A.M. : Together Everyone Achieves More!"

"If the mind can conceive it and the heart can believe it, the body can acheive it!"

"If you help enough people get what they want, you will naturally get what you want."

Okay, I know I'm rambling, forgive me.

God Bless and have an AWESOME week!

Sunshine Karen

This is a pretty gold graphic.

Lets get a vote on a graphic for our team. We almost have our 10 members.

Thanks for posting the rose Jodi. It is very gold, and a good representation of gold.

I am putting out the word for additional choices of icons or logos that we might use, so that the team can take a vote.


To all of you that have signed up. Glad you are all here. We have less than two hours to go. One more spot to fill.

Then let the games begin. Bring it on!!!

We still need one more teammate in spot 10. I have sent Jimmy a PM saying we have 9 people as of this post. I have also told him I would be Captain.
I think the 24K Gold Carb Crushers Logo will Be our team name and our logo.

And also if you can provide the information Jimmy was asking for in his posts, so that the captain will have an easier time of putting everything together, that would be great.
