CACHI…thats pretty catchy…ha ha. It was funny at first.
Nice job on the logo though. When’s the decals arriving for our trucks?
That was my point of post 2. Unfortunately, someone apparently thought I wanted to get rid of NACHI.

How can I join CanNACHI?
Thats a very good logo.
By the way what happened to the logo you had a couple of years ago? And has this association changed names?
Frank what do you care you are not even a member?
It suggests a home base in Canada. Much more appealing for Canadian clients than InterNachi, IMO. Smart move.

Has this logo been approved for use?
I believe so, but Allen can confirm.
Who is Allen, and how can I contact him?
Allen Cavdek, he posted earlier in this thread. Send him a PM.
Rodney,we shall keep you posted, a lot is happening in Canada with nick and us that will benifit all members across Canada and to answer your question the logo is in process of a trademark as well and will be approved shortly.
Keep watching in the near future for further developements

I approve “of it” Rodney!!
Anything with a Canadian flag on it really doesn’t need approval dude!
Keep me posted as well dude!
Some day…Some one, some where will design a logo that will incorporate an individuals business and the association together. Only makes sense to me. Why would anyone want to advertise an association and not their own business.
Incorporate the two and kill two birds with one stone and design a logo that a NACHI member can easily incorporate their business also.
For example: 360 Degree Home Inspections - NACHI Compliant.
I advertise both.
Yes you do. But not as one dual logo. Your logo reflects your business only and not NACHI.
What I was talking about is one general logo that is designed to incorporate your individual business and NACHI.
Nice website, Dave.

Hi John,
I think the problem would be that the logo would have to be quite large to incorporate both. I think many people just have multiple logo’s on their sites. I see many inspectors with their company logo, their IACQ, InterNACHI, training school, etc.
It’s something to think about though!
Here in Canada we put a snowplow in front of the engine.
Nifty idea-eh?
