V35 Logo

[Stephen Thorpe]

i just printed a 350gt sticker logo and found out you can't print white on a clear sticker (well the people who are doing it for me can't) we can have white writing if we have a white sticker (NO WAY) so we can change the colour of the "club australia" or make it more blocky so it can be cut out.

I so didn't see this coming.

I am under the impression that you will never print white... so you either use a light grey or use white material to print on.

I suggest that Club Oz is printed Grey.

[Stephen Thorpe]

actually, might be hard to print grey too, but it should work if it is a dark grey.

[V35_Paul]

there is a little light grey on the logo and that didn't print very well

[Stephen Thorpe]

yes, unfortunately, light grey on clear will be difficult. Grey may work.

Perhaps a red (bright colour) outline would work.

Might be best to do a White Sticker and stick it to the Clear. Shouldn't need to make it much 'bigger' font, a good sticker person can bleed the background.

Just takes time and is a bit fiddly.

do you know anyone who can do it? i'll send you the PSD of the logo

you design it as a vector, and get it cut as vinyl. you can do any colour. this is why I posted up the guidelines for design lol.

no one does printed stickers these days as they fade, the glue backing comes off etc... vinyl is the way to go. its how we do the SAU stickers.

You can buy clear stickers and put them through a bubblejet printer, professional printers would would no doubt have a better set up but it would be much the same idea I guess, printers are made for primarily printing on white paper, you can feed whatever through but it's not going to print white for you. Unless maybe you could get white stickers you could print on? but then still funkymonkey says they fade...

just bring this topic back....umm about not being able to print, why dont we do the logo in two parts....why in teo parts?...well if you observe the logo closely "club aus" is actually 'on top' of the 350gt a bit.

Part 1: we can print out the 350GT part, for the grey bit we can put an outline around.

Part 2: 'club aus' can be printed/cut out from a WHITE vinyl sheet.

does this make sence...?

[V35_Paul]

I think the culb oz is to small and hard to read. i like the bold font better.

[sethaiyaar]

hmm, not to sure about that paul, i mean when its printed full size i think it will be quite large, especially since it will be put against a black background it will be just like natural text...i mean the target length we sld aim for is 3-5meters.

plus the curly font one generated the most interest in the polls......dw keep at it smhow there is not need to rush it, im pretty sure we can find a way.

"It's been a long time shouldn't have left the logo with a dope font to stick to stick to"

Lets give it another go. I have been inspired by Richards cool sticker on his front window of his V.

It's late so i'll put some time into a new logo tomorrow.

You guys do the same

[sethaiyaar]

I just made this logo. I'm going to make it a Sticker/Badge

Tell what you think

put your ideas forward

Hmmm, whats the point in having just the name of the car?...looks weird, like the guys who own BMWs and put "Beemr" as their number plate etc etc

The whole idea is to incorporate/advertise the "car club", which in our case would be the SAU V35s. Props to you for bringing the thread back to life, ill get back to work on the logo designs.

i like it to be thicker too, but then the 'GT' is not the same font as in the car....plus i like the curly one too, it adds a little class to an already hard out numerical logo.....its more appropriate since our cars are grand tourers.

umm, here is a different font, its been skewed to the right a lil, just to give it a 'faster look' and its much thicker too.

liking this, but maybe drop club and just hv australia

Vinyl is the go and multi colours are no problem, the dragster is a car I did and I was asked how small can I make the logo well as you can see the other image shows how small. The motorsports is 0.7 cm high and all cut individually not just printed on, the smallest I have done is 0.58 cm which was Brembo logos (lower case letters) for callipers after being repainted.

I have different variants of colours depending on what colour the car is which makes a big difference and is easy since vinyl not printed, keep the colours simple as in no shading if you want to keep the cost down or out of vinyl.

If you keep it simple like below especially the one which is all the same colour it will cost shit all to make and you can do different colours quite easily. I do up EVO OZ stickers for here in WA and I even make some out of carbon looking material and the only difference to me is in cost of material like the carbon not time.

SAU and CLUB V was only used as an example.

On some of the first designs posted, there appears to two layers of vinyl that overlap each other...

If that is the case, wouldn't that look odd and not sit flat?

Some overlap to much but if you do it right with decent material that cuts well you would be amazed, not the crap most stickers are made if when you just walk in off the street asking for the odd one to be made.

Again the stuff I use starts melting at about 110 to 120 and certain colours are better then others, no problems yet and they are on a couple of cars that get a hard life.

[fcruz3r]

personally prefer the look of vinyl stickers too. printed ones tend to look like souvenir shop bumper stickers
