I'd be curious just how many members of the PTG DON'T use the name or the logo in their advertisements.?? Can I be honest? I mean really honest? I don't find the logo to be attractive. I've found very little interest among customers about whether or not I'm an RPT or even an associate. I can remember about a half dozen people in about that many years that had even a passing interest. I have also wondered at times if there are some techs who have looked at the "requirements" for using the logo, print sizes, etc., and have just simply said "thanks, but no thanks" to using the guild name at all. I don't mean to imply that the guild isn't important or that improving ones knowledge and skill isn't a worthy aspiration of all of us. The PTG is certainly valuable and worthwhile. But outside of a very small minority, as far as the general public is concerned, the attitude I normally see is, "Who cares about your credentials. Can you fix my piano?" Just my two cents. No offense intended...
