Title: Who can design Decals / Stickers ?
Post by: videosilva on July 27, 2008, 08:52:50 AM
I'm sure there must be some one on here who would be able to design some graphics / decals/ stickers for our GS's ?

I'm thinking some kind of S logo, GS logo, 500cc logo or what ever you come up with. Possibly some raised letters.

I want some thing for the tail section (rear bottom ) and FRONT bottom of the fenders.


Possibly as stripe or some thing similar starting at the bottom front fender working its way back to both the right and left fenders. :police:

Alright.

I made a donation to this site in early June and I never received the decals that are touted.  I don't really mind, as this site is worth more that what I donated, and I don't mind if that ever comes to fruition.

I DO however have access to make vinyl graphics.  My sister owns her own sign shop, and also makes custom t-shirts and things like that.

I can have her make anything we want and sell them here.  If this is against site policy, please let me know.  Otherwise I will continue.

Moderators, please send me a PM stating that this is OK to do or not. 


Once I have that, I will have you guys submit your thoughts and/or own designs to consider.  We can all vote, or maybe even do all of them.  I will also be able to make t-shirts or hats, etc..

I will start making something that would fit mine, but let me know if I need to go to my local stealership and measure up a newer one.

Sounds like fun!  Anyone else interested?

Thats what I'm talking about :)

1. I need some thing for the tail section ( bottom rear ) its getting all scratched up from using bungie straps attached to the hooks.

2. Some thing for the bottom FRONT of the fairing that works its way back ........ ??

I added a picture so you can make some sense of my rambling. Let me know what you come up with.

I think that custom graphics is a great idea. I see no reason why anyone would have issue with you selling them on here. People make custom parts and have stickys to sell them in the FS trade section...


Start a thread in FS section and get some ideas going  :cheers:

So I'd be a weirdo if I thought you should get out the masking tape and paint and make yourself a true _custom_ graphic? Or look up a local airbrush artiste if you want that type of thing?

OK, I'm a weirdo.  :cookoo: I'm OK with that.

for those of you who donated and have yet to receive decals, I will follow up with the printer, it seems pandy has not yet got those stickers (she sends them out).

As for custom decals... I'll talk with the other admins.

If you're talking about gstwins stickers, it will be a while ;)

Apparently they're made by oompa-loompas but ONLY during a full moon, in January, on leap years, and only on the Big Island of Hawaii -IF- their Trade Union approves of the living conditions, asthetics, dances, work hours, bonuses, beer, prostitutes, and general working conditions (beach full of snow is a must!) from what I hear. ;)

Ya, it will be really cool if/when my official gstwins stickers arrive. Hell I might order an extra set or 10 for those non leap years when they're in REALLY short supply !

;)

That looks REALL neat !!! Not for me " I AM CANADIAN " :) If I were from the US it may be something that I would be interested in.

Thank you for being so quick with the images, please keep posting ideas.

If I were in need of a new side decal  I would go with your S / 500 / GS logo the " R " is over kill. Possibly add cc next to the 500 for more effect ex. 500cc ?

Just added some mesh buddy....tried varous kinds and thru trial and error, decided on that stuff.  However, I've JUST taken it off again to replace with a better kind of mesh...will repost pics when done - just noticed I broke my own link to the photo!  :mad: ... nevermind, will repost when I redo the job  :thumb:
