Yeah, why not!

One advantage with the "www" is that we can see immediately that the sticker deals with a website... Without reading the whole sticker.

Interesting point, however when the reader sees all the letters clumped together ('volvo300mania' not 'volvo 300 mania') they would probably assume it dealt with a website. Just a thought..

I think the .com bit would be enough of a giveaway...having said that, most stickers do feature www. as well.

www.volvo300mania.com

volvo300mania.com

www . volvo 300 mania . com

volvo 300 mania . com

Just testing The first one is the best, no?

It's more symmetric I think

3 letters POINT address POINT 3 letters

I agree (I think)....although whatever we choose, its *most* important to make the font easy to read.

Yep, I think I will use a normal font like Arial.

I've found a website where I can order stickers online: 9.66 € for one sticker, 8.63 for 10 stickers... (length: 43 cm)

http://www.stickair.com

Is it possible to find cheaper?

I think one of the 'cool' fonts would be fine...but you've gotta make sure the way its laid out makes it readable.

cheers

I'm sorry to say that I doubt I'd have one on my car(s) as I no longer have 300's and, like Foggy, I'm not too keen on stickers on cars.

However, I think that one in the 'Volvo' font would look good.

Volvo won't let you use their font....the buggers

cheers

Awwww, if you hadn't had said that we could have forgotten to ask

We could still forget to ask...

I think its a bloody cheek actually - how many other groups would be supporting keeping these cars running, and indirectly contributing to sales of the (increasingly inflated in cost) genuine parts? I've just sanctioned the purchase of nearly £200 of parts directly from Volvo...surely that's worth the use of their logo to them?!

cheers

Yeah, you would think so, but I doubt they really give a monkeys, as long as they sell another XC90 today they'll make a lot more Guess thats what happens when you become successful, too busy looking to the future to support the past.

It's a shame that no companies have a good customer support base anymore (damn I'm sounding old, time to swap Ka for a Fiesta;)), but several years ago you could buy spares parts for anything, if your VCR broke, you had it repaired etc. Now its cheaper to buy a new one, and only a few people have the skills/are willing to put the time in.

Ah well

Has anyone done anything about the stickers then - I'd be very interested - Its a great idea and would be willing to shell out a couple of quid as well.
