Pride In Pomona!

I've been seeing the beautiful hexagonal Pomona logo all over -- it's on our street signs, on the tiles that pave the Civic Center area, and now on t-shirts and cars! I was excited about showing my Pomona pride, but had some trouble tracking down a source for the logo.

After drinking enough beers at dba256, I finally got a lead -- Juan of BUNNY GUNNER is able to make copies on vinyl in a variety of sizes. I selected the four-incher, which seems to fit nicely on my poor high-tech beater. I'm still not sure if the logo will result in obsequious groveling at the finer LA parking lots, or a little more room on the freeway, but I'll let y'all know how it works out.

If you'd like to make your own experiment, I have an extra to give away for FREE. Send me a picture of the vehicle (or other object) that you'd like to put it on, and I'll happily give a copy to the most interesting submission received by next Wednesday.

OTOH, it's probably easier to head on down to BUNNY GUNNER and hand over a few bucks, but there it is. There's something wonderful about free.

Pomona pride in the HOUSE! I love the idea of a blog contest.

Okay, so it turns out that we have TWO, count 'em, two winners. I leave it to them to identify themselves in the comments if they'd like to. Otherwise, I've gotten in touch to arrange for the delivery of their fabulous prizes!

In the process of delivering those fabulous prizes, I found out that the folks at BUNNY GUNNER can also do up the logo in black, and I wound up with a couple more logos to give away, in black this time, if anybody else wants to send me a note.

I also learned about yet another artist who spent some time in our fair city, Gilbert "Magu" Lujan [Yeah, I clearly don't get out enough]. I can't guarantee that if you drop in, you'll learn cool stuff about art or LA history, but you never know! :-)

This is also a 12th street gang logo. Hope nobody thinks your 12th street and decided to get violent.

That's pretty cool that gang members show their city pride.

Meg and K, I always knew you had a darker side! And the Prius is the new gang vehicle......no wonder I see so many in Claremont.

"it's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor, would you be mine? Could you be mine"

Yeah, we're OGP -- Original Gangsta Pomona.

I was driving down Holt this morning and saw three of cars with the P-flower on them, all on the rear left side window. They all said "P-Town," which our stickers don't. Let the driver beware!

You all need to get out of the bars more and see more of Pomona.
