Would anyone be interested in getting some rudimentary "Werther's Original Racing Team" stickers made up? I think it would be a hoot!

I've been poking around different places, you can get basic ones for pretty cheap, it seems:

haha, maybe. they have to be butterscotch colored though

depends on the size, but if they're the right size i might concede and put a sticker on my car :lol:

Oh, but of course The second one has a "golden yellow" color that's vaguely close, and I think you can pay more for different colors. The first one doesn't have color swatches. But it does have a font option called "BonJovi" :lol:

as far as size, I was thinking big enough that people have a chance of seeing it and laughing, but small enough as to be discreet. maybe a 5"x7" ?

Count me in, sounds sweet!

OK, so IronJoe and I are conspiring to make these, most likely just text on a translucent window sticker, with the werther's original logo on top, and then "RACING TEAM" underneath. We are working on the graphic file right now, and once we have that, I will shop around for a good price.

Right now, I'm thinking of having 10 made, seeing as 5 people are interested, and it would be nice to have extras for additional cars/people. I'm thinking roughly 4"x4" or 5"x5" in size, I will print the thing out and take a test shot in my window.

As I typed that last sentence, I realized that I have access to a top quality color printer/copier at work. I wonder if they sell sheets of vinyl window sticker that you can just print yourself? This may be a good option, and cheap too. Anyone heard of that?

Can I have mine in small letters, then when I graduate to MS I can go capitalized :cheesy:.

I like your idea.

I found this. Vinyl sticker paper.

This too.

What about cafepress.com?

 

[TheRedBaron]

Yeah - it seems like the traditional "bumper sticker" stock is pretty easy to find - I have seen stuff for window sticker stock (the clear kind that goes on the inside of the window), but have not found some readily for sale. I saw some on amazon that was out of stock. Cafepress seems like it doesn't do window stickers, just bumper stickers - unless you see them somewhere?

 

[TheRedBaron]

This place seems like it could do exactly what we need, but I'm guessing it's not cheap:

The UV fading is an issue to consider.

 

[TheRedBaron]

Score. http://www.mcgpaper.com/windowcling.html


This will be in the budget next week.

I take partial credit for sending you links to mcgpaper.com

YES!


This works. I will post up some prototypes for the logo. Input is necessary.

 

[TheRedBaron]

I was thinking some sort of c900 line/sillouhette added in somehow, but the answer is not obvious.

 

[IronJoe]

Here's the first draft. Flame away. I need font, color, and other suggestions. I tried to pick a "butterscotch" for the lettering but it looks too light.

Obviously the grey would be translucent.

 

[IronJoe]

Playing with fonts.

 

[TheRedBaron]

The grey doesn't show up on screen - I like the first more than the second. I'm going to play with some fonts, brb. The second color works with the bolder font. If it were a thin font like the first one, it would need to be darker.

 

[TheRedBaron]

Also, need a consensus here:

Are we going with a) TEAM RACING or b) RACING TEAM

 

[unkleG'sif]

i'm in.....


prefer the 2nd font above... reminiscent of the old Gasser VW racers of the 70's



altho the first font also similar to Empi Team Racing

either way... UberCool
