    Just throwing in a couple thoughts.
    I like the T1 Charles adjusted.
    However, if these are to be used for the GENERAL PUBLIC, replace the line “WB5RDD (star) RRVARC” with “Paris, Texas” or “Paris, Lamar County, Texas”. Because (1) the general public does not know what a call sign is, (2) RRVARC is redundant to the name above and many people are used to abbreviating group names in this manner and (3) WB5RDD is also redundant as it is in the group’s logo.
    T3 (blue) is good, just replace the WB5RDD (star) RRVARC line as noted about and use the Eiffel tower. Oh, and the Texas shape is redundant.
    I could say the large-lettered Red River Valley Amateur Radio Club is redundant (it, too is in the logo) but in this instance, it needs to be emphasized.
    The Eiffel tower is better as it is a well-loved part of the community and known outside the community. The radiating tower is beloved and recognizable only by the amateur radio community.
    The KISS method is very important here. Keep it as simple as possible to generate interest, without overwhelming them, including graphics use. That’s what flyers/brochures are for.
    Whoever created these did a fine job. If these will be displayed in the sunlight, be aware almost all reds fade very quickly. You might ask the supplier about this.
