yogi-bear 2321 Posted April 6, 2020 so I found some existing logos and modified them. I might try and so some more tonight 8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yogi-bear 2321 Posted April 7, 2020 hmm, I did some quick calculations, and I could do an A4 sheet onto an outdoor white vinyl (unfortunately I can't print onto clear), each logo dye cut too, of a number of different logos for about $12 AUD delivered world wide. Packaging wouldn't be flash, as I have to get them into an envelope to make postage out of Australia cheap. Delivery times might be about 2 weeks as well to the US or UK. Would anybody be interested? I'd of course have to do a few more logos, I was thinking maybe around 20 or 30 different logos ones? 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the machine does it all, so its an easy process. 19 minutes ago, Problemchild said: shame about clear but I’m in JJ yeah, I'd love to get a white ink printer, but they are expensive! and I don't get enough work to justify the cost 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Ax 9325 Posted April 7, 2020 @yogi-bear I love that idea, with a few more logos it would be great. Would you be able to do the logos in a variety of sizes? I find no matter what I'm working on, the decals are never quite the size I need. There are some good drift sticker sheets on ebay that squeeze ink into virtually every little bit of space.

I find no matter what I'm working on, the decals are never quite the size I need. There are some good drift sticker sheets on ebay that squeeze ink into virtually every little bit of space. what I think I'll do is firstly work out some logos and post them to see they are liked, and then get feedback on sizing. And agreed, the sheet should be filled. I was also thinking there would be multiples of each logo. I'll see how many different designs I can punch out though, as that will be the limiting factor. At this stage I'll stay away from driver names, I like the idea, but it'll add too much to the work load at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, in what format? I have limited ability and probably don't have the tech required but I'd give it a go - don't want to bring down the overall quality though!! SBG do something similar but they are all produced by the forum owner / admin with little or no community input. They do cool windscreen visors and (occasionally) funny bumper stickers too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have limited ability and probably don't have the tech required but I'd give it a go - don't want to bring down the overall quality though!! sure you (or anyone else) are welcome to submit for input. Ideally its in vector format, so not a bitmap, but if that's all you have, then so be it. Format should be svg, illustrator, coreldraw, pdf or eps. Avoid publisher files, they are a pain in the butt. But give it a go, even if its not perfect, I can tidy it up. For these, as I'll be modifying existing logos anyway, so I won't really have a claim to copyright. And I'll probably make a printable file for download. 12 minutes ago, Badcrumble said: SBG do something similar but they are all produced by the forum owner / admin with little or no community input.

Mad Ax 9325 Posted April 7, 2020 1 hour ago, yogi-bear said: I was also thinking there would be multiples of each logo. Oh absolutely this - I hate when model shops / suppliers include ONE sticker, or a sticker sheet where no two stickers are the same size or colour. Cars have TWO sides - do they not think we'll want a sticker on each side..? If I'm adding a small sponsor logo then I'll typically add one each side, but I might add a larger version of the same logo on the bonnet and boot lid too. Also very small stickers (if printable) are cool - I had a sheet of tiny little stickers that I put on the rear window of my Fifty Fifty monster truck. They really add to the scale realism. Lots of 1:1 clubman-level race cars would have smaller stickers on the windows too. Another thing worth considering is that race cars aren't always sponsored by racing parts brands - most of the famous liveries from the classic racing era are alcohol or tobacco brands. Even at the club level, 1:1 racers can be sponsored by anybody. Ergo - any kind of comedic company names would work here. Although not necessarily on Yogi's sticker sheet because they would take up too much space 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, I'll have to start planing a second sheet. Luckily I haven't got any else much better to do! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
