I like the station wagon in space too! Kind of has that Spaceballs vibe!

That was a Winnebago 😆 Also very boomerish.

I think there are enough options at this point. Personally, I’m team station wagon. Maybe put some flames coming out the back to keep the space rocket vibe.

My Truth.

The Definition is what you set for yourself.

There are so many good “Definitions” through out the thread.

Underlying; Positive and Fun. Not “So” Serious.

For some, they played during a Boom,

Others, Played on and Off throughout their life,

Some just like 0A and Modern Responsives,

Play yoyo for the enjoyment.

Pillars of this community.

For me: My Definition is someone who enjoys yoyo for simplicity and personal growth. Being positive in the community. Not being pigeon holed by labels. Supporting others. I am OK with not being able to do the Extensive 1A tricks (Though continuously working toward them).

I, like others do not feel we need a Mold to fit everyone in. We have an Idealism that many can emulate to their personal level.

I think that was the Beauty of the opening line. “We will set the definition (For ourselves).”

I feel this will give each member a personal sense of “Ownership”. One that we each hold ourselves to a justifiable standard that we establish for ourselves.

I googled Station Wagon nicknames and one of the top ones is the “Workhorse”.

If this thing plays anything like my imagination says it’s going to play then Workhorse might be an apt name for it. I imagine myself never wanting to put it down.

I like this definition of yo-yo boomer, because it means ever one will eventually be a yo-yo boomer. I have not met a yo-yo person who has not gone through this definition in some form or another, “ as kid was into yo-yo then it fell away because other things took center stage ( cars, girls, guitar all 3 ) then returned to yo-yo and loved it more than before.

> [@Billipo](#):

To think about it I guess the people that do not return to yo-yo are never here to tell the story of their life that took them far from yo-yo. Ha funny that

Everyone have a great start to the week I have for sure thanks everyone.

I see we’re already voting, but what if we just had a minimalist logo that looked like the station wagon was driving on the inside of the outer rim?

Anyway I voted so take that as you will.

Just landing on the proto engraving now.

I don’t think we’re ready for a final logo yet. Or production engraving

I wonder if we could do one of those Animation style things. Each car a little different and when it spins, it looks the the cars are moving?
