This is what it would look like on a black car.

I have one question though. Are we going for a vinyl "die cut" sticker or an actual sticker like the old emission stickers? I am assuming we are talking about vinyl, so that it can be easily taken off if needed. If we are using vinyl there are a lot of limitations. It will have to be one color, to make it cheaper, and it can not be very intricate. Let me know what you guy's think of this idea and if you have any changes or other ideas.

Me likey...

Very nicely executed.

I like the idea of the emissions-syle sticker only because I was planning on mounting it on a part of the glass.

That's awesome guys....really great execution on the ideas that the gang came up with.

When you say vynil, do you mean static cling vynil?

I was thinking about an adhesive inside mount (or outside mount) sticker, kinda like the production #s you guys made up.....but hey that's not set in stone or anything.

It really doesn't matter too much...I am sure either strategy will look good and be very functional.

Brad....can you PM me the prices? I'd love to help out if you want to order up a batch for us...I'd say go for the least expensive route....that way we can make more for our money.

When I say vinyl I am talking about the kind of stickers Ryan has on his car. These types of stickers are the most economical but also the hardest to design. You have to keep in mind that these stickers are cut out of existing material. Imagine cutting this sticker out of a piece of paper with a knife, a pain.

Now if you want regular sticker, like the old emission stickers, that's a different story. That kind of sticker is much easier to work with because it is printed so you can add color or have overlapping images, but it costs MONEY!!!. We could come up with something that is not a limiting as vinyl. It printed and then have it reversed glued (glue on its face) so you could stick it to the inside of the window/windshield. The major problem with regular stickers, not just the cost, but we will probably need a minimum order of 150 - 250 so that we will not have to pay a set up charge.

Here's the way I see it PROS & CONS:

VINYL
Pros:
-Very user friendly, will not be permanent and you can use it on glass or paint
-Very cost effective, CHEAP.
-Very minimum quantity needed to produce

Cons:
-Only on color
-Very limited with design, can not be very intricate, basic
-Will need to be somewhat large in order to be cut


STICKER
Pros:
-Can be easily produced, printed
-The design can be a lot more detailed, color, layout, etc.

Cons:
-Will need a minimum quantity in order to produce them.
-Can only be used on glass, window/windshield and somewhat permanent.
-Will cost at least 40-50% more than vinyl.

If we want the stickers we will need at least a couple of weeks to get them made. If we want the vinyl I can probably have them made by the show. What I am thinking is to have some vinyl stickers made, about 25, by the show and then decide at the meet which way we want to pursue. Let me know what you want to do.

Just me talking here, but I think we oughtta stay pretty cheap, since we don't really pay dues or anything and we'd like to have some on hands for meets/shows/events. I really like your design, and as I told Ryan, I really appreciate you guys looking into it with your decal guy. I would definitely put it on my car!

What does everyone else think? As Brad said, we can always adapt a more intricate design later if needed.

Its not like I couldn't mount the vinyl on glass right?

If that's the case, go with the vinyl. It sounds much more economical.


BTW- I feel so much smarter about decals now laugh

I vote for vinyl, even if you have to simplify the design or make it a little larger.
