OT: My search for another Michigan gLogo

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on October 8th, 2019 at 1:17 PM

A year ago I posted a thread in search of another Michigan Glogo and just general questions on if anyone had seen one before. 

The glogo is a Block M that suction cups to the inside of your car window and when plugged in your car lighter outlet, it lights up. It was made by a long gone company called Lighted Logos LC and was made someone during the mid-2000s judging by the packaging that mine came in. I stumbled upon on eBay last year new in box somehow-

mgoblog contributor Blue and Joe (the same guy who developed the downloadable Valiant font that is Michigan’s official font) said in that thread he had a buddy who had one and used it years ago when they were going to a game. After almost a year of me searching and finding nothing, I decided to hit him up and see if his friend would be interested in selling his. 

Amazingly, he found it after being packed away for a long time and it still worked. We made a deal and my search that I started here a year ago is over. 

Big thanks to Blue and Joe and his friend. You’ll probably see this around Ann Arbor at some point- 

 

Cool story bro

Moderation sucks. I could never be a moderator. But I'm not cool enough to be an immoderator either.

When I read Seth's reply in that thread, I thought, "How come I'm not part of the vast majority of sane human beings came for the good content, as I at first did, but proceeded not to get sucked down into the board?"

I'd love to know, but can't afford the amount of therapy needed to find out.

I have one just like that, problem is that after having it for a couple years, it started to constantly blow fuses.  Since I haven't tossed it yet maybe I'll see if it can be fixed.

I'll have some Pizza Shooters, an order of Shrimp Poppers, and... hmmmm… how about some Extreme Fajitas, please. 

tl;dr - you need more flair buddy.

Ha, very cool.  I actually have one of these as well.  Living in Chicagoland and being a soccer coach for my daughter on the weekends means I don't make it to very many games anymore.  If you ever want to buy another one, I could probably be convinced to part with mine.  

Go Blue.

Given the availability of LED strips, wouldn't it be pretty easy to just fashion one into a Block M? If you were good, you could make it with two colors.... =)
