New Site URL stickers - Email me!!!

Post by Nimminz » 02 May 2012 12:36 am

I'm planning on getting a bunch of stickers produced, mainly (but not just) to hand out at the VOC BKV.

So I had a quick play about and here's what i came up with:

Can't promice snazzy colours but you never know :)

Any thourghts? good, bad, changes, ideas, opinions?

I am dead busy with stuff at the moment but will try to get them done soon, definately before la BKV

Loosely inspired from this if anyone's interested :)

haha, i even checked before i started designing, and then just typed the wrong one down anyway, .com will probably sit nicer anyway, the 'o' in 'co.uk' isn't lined up with first 0 in 300 lol

thanks for pointing it out!

BKV's probably gonna be the first opportunity, or post after then

I initially didn't like the design, it's all a bit curvy and vdub scene for my liking...

But I'm starting to think in the rear quarter lights that might sit quite well!

Not sure about some of the overlap. The dot of the "i" makes the 300 like thirty point zero.

Instead of lining them up on the right, why not try the left? So we get the:

V
3
M

Logo bit going on? just a thought :D Thomas....................

Thanks for the comments!

I'll have a bit more play with it.

I didn't like the curvyness of it really, but i always use blocky stuff at college and wanted to try something different.
30.0 Yeah, the dot doesn't really need to be there anyway. other bits are a bit wierd too
I'll try it left aligned too :)

Feel very very free to point out mistakes / improvements etc!!!!

I'll stick a refined one up in a short while

OLD (left) NEW (right)

Tried range left but because the '3' is bigger than the '0's it means its being awkward. Not really sure on this version. It says .com and not 30.0 now so technically it's better.

Beer induced opinion says 1st one better, the 300 looks too big to me, too prominent. I'm lame at explaining what I do and don't like however...

These looks great :) My suggestions would be to make the 300 smaller and that a small overlap with the bottom of "volvo" isnt a problem

thanks, yeah looking now i like the first better, the 300 is way too big (the space round it doesn't help) on the second.

I'll try the first without the dot on the 'i' and '.com' rather than '.co.uk'

Prefer the first, the '3' of '300' is a bit big compared to the rest, and I'd drop the uppercase 'V', good work :D

Cheers, Yeah the reason the 3 is bigger is because the zeros are lower case 'o's. Can't simply scale down the 3 as the width of the stroke would be smaller. I'll make a new 3 from scratch :D Yeah lowercase v would look better.

Finger's crossed i'll do it tonight. Starting the headgasket this afternoon :)
