[makaveli]

[funkymonkey]

spot on greg... i'll be creating a new thread soon for the logo thingy...

[Snowman]

Greg/Mesh - I think your final idea of t-shirt / picture / signatures all framed is spot on the money. That will look classy.

[Sass]

thanks greg, that was a good help.

ive spoken to the girl, with as much info and i could think of and then emailed her that so i'll see what she can come up with.

ok shan, thanks, i'll keep an eye out for it

[meshmesh]

I spoke to a mate this morning that has a stand regularly at the autosalon's (and at the recent MAS) about banners and car decals, he said they would be happy to do a semi sponsor deal, with the banners, signage etc...

As an indication his standard pricing excluding any sponsorship deal for full colour banner signs is $120 per quare metre.

EG: if the sign is 75cm x 150cm you'd work it out like this

7.5 x 15 x 1.2(being the square metre rate) = $135.00

Their machine can print & cut any shape we want. The only thing we need to do to the banners is arrange eyelids as they dont do them. They mainly specialise in car decals... and I spoke to him about turning Snowman's car into a lolliCop mobile for the next MAS, which he said no probs and would love to do a semi sponsor deal with us.

Speaking of banners, what's going on it? Is there something already?

I have a few photo ideas that I have been meaning to try out with a proper panoramic camera.

[funkymonkey]

sweet... i can arrange the decal templates so it looks exactly like a japanese cop (all I gotta do is trace the decal template off my Tomiya R34 cop car).

Should be easy as... mmmm R34 cop car... However I'd prefer a black car to use as a cop car since the jap cop cars are black n white...

[funkymonkey]

feel free to sketch a few mockups...

Meshmesh - I assume you mean we have to put eyelets not "eylids" yeah? Thats pretty simple to do. Are these the guys who had the sticker stand at MAS this year?

[meshmesh]

Shan,

Thinking about your cop car idea last night, I thought it you meant creating a "victorian police skyline replica cop car"?? As I think this would be a great idea & an opportunity for some great publicity for the club if we created a skyline victorian cop car. What do you think?

[funkymonkey]

hmmm an aussiefied GTR? could work... in that case snowman's car would be ideal coz its already got that Highway patrol look to it with it being bayside blue n all...

[meshmesh]

Meshmesh - I assume you mean we have to put eyelets not "eylids" yeah? Thats pretty simple to do.

Yep eyelets... If you can do it, then that's great.

Are these the guys who had the sticker stand at MAS this year?

Yep, the company is called U C Y Power Image.

[funkymonkey]

hey james, do you have that AI of the floorplan that you had at MAS on friday night when we were setting up? I gots me a layout idea

[meshmesh]

hmmm an aussiefied GTR? could work... in that case snowman's car would be ideal coz its already got that Highway patrol look to it with it being bayside blue n all...

Thinking about it now, a little suck up "resch_pect" to the cops, and thinking about jame's idea, I guess it would definately attract a croud and alot of attention, if we had my white GTR & Andrews Blue LolliCop, decalled up.

The only issue's I can see is, would we go to the extent of putting the red & blue light's on?? Perhaps we could arrange something with vic police about the idea in promoting the concept??

[funkymonkey]

here's the mob i was talking about... $150 hemmed, grommeted etc etc full colour 2 foot x 6 foot which is $150 + shipping from the US.

that's 61cm x 183cm... Which works out to be $133.95 so meshmesh, tell your mate he's got a deal.

[funkymonkey]

not to worry, my mate's uncle works in a prop shop and he can provide the cop lights however they're US style cop lights so :

Also i was thinking of a model dressed in this standing next to the cop car

http://www.fantasiawear.com/costumes-police.htm

but somehow i don't see that happening

[NS2500]

If you did get a hold of some lights you could just sit them on top with rubber pads and hook them up via an external power supply.

Or just get the old-school magnetic single blue light and stick it on top...

[Snowman]

Im only doing this if I get a gun as well.

[adznight]

Mate I wouldn't trust you with a cap gun

[GTRgeoff]

Snowie, you have to eat donuts all day too. (start now to slow you down for sundays race)

I'm just contemplating adverse reaction to a stand depicting imports running from the police...there are always people who will see the bad message of something like that, like we are endorsing antisocial behaviour and running from the conscequences. I personally think it would look great. Sort of, the only way the plods could catch an import :D not that they could get their donut padded rears in the R34.

Mesh I'm not that smart, just bored at the moment, and you know what they say about idle minds and mischief
