Maybe some kind of design 'contest' of sorts? And then have everyone vote on a favorite? :dontknow:

Please keep in mind, this design will also be done on new shirts. While embroidery of designs can be done in many forms, printed shirts will rely on some quantity to make it cost effective to do. So lets keep the different designs to a minimum at least for the one(s) that will go on printed T-Shirts.

While the initial order of shirts will probably be enough to justify the designs, I'd hate to see a design done initially that does not get enough repeat orders to make it cost effective for those that don't order in the initial rounds of orders. I'm thinking longer term here.

I like that, but I still think we need one from 87-91, 92-99, 00-05.

Just like Dan (HurstGN) says we have to get enough people to want each design or else it will be very expensive to have all these different designs.

I really like that design though!

Looks awesome, even on older body styles. The lines are pretty similar..... :2thumbup:

It's a cool design, but not a good sticker. The thing I liked about the old stickers was the simplicity. If you looked at it, you knew right away what it was. The text is so small, that it would be impossible for even an onlooker to see the site name, let alone someone driving next to you... I think we need to think about the function more than the form, since, after all, it is about spreading the site to others...

The font was just a quick idea for placement. It can definitely be made bigger. :wink: The design of this is even more simple than the last sticker, so it can definitely work well. Personally, the big "Bonneville" type font that's been used and used, could use a refresh. We don't HAVE to use that font. But the simplicity of the rimlighting/silhouette with a larger text would be just enough.

Font would definitely need to be larger for ease of making the decal. The more detail to the images adds more cutting time, makes the decal that much more expensive. Let's keep the ideas coming though.

x2 this is WAY simpler then BC's old decal.. Being all font the last one ended up being so costly that Andrews supplier was no longer able to make them. (why we asked NHolds if he could step up to the task) Now that I totally know how the cutter works, but this rimlighting/silhouette decal (without text) only has 4 parts. (main body, rear door, mirror, door top)


And Like I said when I showed it on the car, the text needs to be bigger, but thats for final tweeking..

That looks sweet. Only thing I suggest is to move the text a little bit forward since our quarter windows have a slight ramp on the back. This way the line between the decal and the window will look a little straighter.

Can't actually... when you flip the text over for the other side, it's really close to the hood of the decal.

Wow, those look great!!! I'll take 2 in chrome ASAP!! lol :bwoohoo:

Now that one is made, how hard would it be to flip the car silhouette for the 'other' side of the car? And, like Night Crawler said, will that fit on our quarter windows?

EDIT:
That just answered my questions
