Moab 2012 Window Sticker/t-shirt Logo....

[JoFotoz]

It might be time to think about the MOAB 2012 WINDOW STICKER/T-SHIRT LOGO.....

...figure it out...agree on a design...get the Moab T/Shirt shop involved.


Paging Kenny....you are the man , as far as this goes!!


How about some ideas, then we'll boil it down to a couple...
....and take a poll.

They should change the trail name when we're in town.
Though I'll have to admit..."plastic punish'r" doesn't sound nearly as cool.

[MSHardeman]

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/medium/yikes.jpg

Ummmm.... Travis.... it doesn't look like your rear wheels are touching. Did you do a head stand?

OK, back on topic... Kenny usually puts a few ideas out there, but I haven't seen him check in for a while, so we may be on our own here.

Also, I think it would be a good idea to dedicate this Moab to Todd (RIP). Maybe we can work that into the design, or create a separate design like LittleBeast did for Tone. I seem to remember Todd had a Hot Wheels decal on his hood insert, so maybe we can use that as the basis for the Moab design. Or maybe his license plate? Wasn't it ZUZOOM?

[VX KAT]

Great idea Mark. I like playing off his license plate ZuZoom.

ZuZoom Forever
ZuZoom to Todd!
ZuZoom in the sky
Forever a ZuZoomer
ZuZoomer forever
ZuZoom Trail Leader



I like ZuZoom Forever!
Maybe have the text going diagonally, with some stars sprinkled around, then MOAB 2012 along the bottom?

Maybe do it as an oblong decal, about 5" x 2"?

I'm not creative enough to design the Isuzu logo into the decal somewhere...

[VX KAT]

I'm not riding with you anymore Travis....:goof:

[Y33TREKker]

I might modify it just a bit and suggest;

Isu-ZuZoom Forever

Don't want to get confused with those Mazda folks do we?

That's kinda cool...but not sure we have that much room without letters getting reallly tiny.
Come on all you graphic-skilled peeps...help us graphic-challenged folks here!

And those Mazda folks have an extra "M" :p

[Y33TREKker]

True, but the similarity occurred to me even without it, so I doubt I'd be the only one. :winkgray: Anyway, it was just a suggestion.

+1 - Looking forward to this being the first window sticker I put on my VX. :yesy:

[MSHardeman]

Billy, I did that sticker just for Todd (like we did for Tone) and was planning on having another one for ZuZoo. I have a feeling that if I tried to put Todd's name and the dates in the circle they would be too small to read, or the sticker would have to be too big. On top of that it's ZuZoo XV, so I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to play off of the XV VX thing.

[Triathlete]

Ah, alright.

I agree Mark, 2 separate ones would be best. And I didn't even catch that XV VX thing since I didn't look up to see what year we're at...that's just too cool....we gotta do something with that.

Here is something to ponder for you Photoshop enthusiast. Have the skull except have one eye have a V and the other have a X. Then have the skull looking into a mirror. The image would be reversed and whola...... Now how to make this purdy I leave to you all, I just come up with the ideas :)

[MSHardeman]

The skulls could be a good tie into the whole 2012 end of the world thing, or maybe we should design something with a Mayan feel.

Don't get me wrong, I liked your Mayan calendar themed idea. And I've seen your VX, so I know you like skulls. I was just trying to suade this a little more towards something everyone would like and not mind wearing on a T-shirt or sticker.
I'm not a photoshopper, so I probably couldn't produce something that anyone would like...
And as for being there, I might be at ZuZoo XV, and probably the end of the world unless I die first :grino:

With a side profile VX and Moab/year/etc in the circle. Simple and change of pace.

I liked your idea at the top of the page, but wonder what the sticker will end up looking like, being in negative.

Just wondering from afar how big this sticker is going to be. Lots of detail and small form factors don't play well together. :nogray:

I'm okay with people having to wait until they're NOT driving 70 MPH down the road to read it. ;)

I like the graphic you and Dub are working on but...

Since the sticker goes on the window, it would be better to have a vinyl decal cut out for the sticker rather than a solid black sticker. The vinyl decals look better and last longer. I don't think we can use such a detailed graphic for vinyl cutting. The design would be great for a t-shirt ;).

I like the side profile VX you posted with the people & dog. That's what I was thinking for a good vinyl decal.

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/3269/Moab_2012_c.png

[Triathlete]

The Moab T shirt shop that makes the stickers actually screens them just like they do the t shirts. It is better if you get the design to them a few weeks ahead of time (not during EJS though, they said they get so busy then that they don't even answer their phone).

The don't think the Moab T-shirt shop will be willing to do that detailed calendar....last year, the owner lady gave me all kinds of grief for the detailed "tire tread". And she made each tread block "attached" to the next, cuz it was way easier to do she told me. The calendar designs are way more intricate than just the tire tread...so I don't think they'll do it, and, I agree, it will be way too small to see

Well you're in luck, because the T-shirt shop already produces that one. I got it straight off their website. :)

Personally I think a solid sticker would look better than a vinyl cut-out, depending on where you put it. If I put a cut-out on the glass I would think it would be harder to see with everything behind it than if it was on a black background.

There's only a bazillion sticker companies on the interweb, so I wouldn't let one shop's limitations drive the design. Moab is 2 months away, if we finalize the design in the next few weeks someone could just order two or three dozen and bring them with them.

Virtually every other event sticker has been die cut...cuz quite a few of us have tinted out the side windows...:smilewink

LIMO BLACK FTW...:laughing:

That's also the reason all of my submissions were presented as negatives, with the background being black.

The vinyl cut stand out on non tinted windows also. My windows are not tinted and I like the white die cut look.

Several of us actually got that VX profile with the dog I think in 2010. It was NOT the "official" sticker though.
It's really cool.
Maybe get MOAB and XV-VX below it???
http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g386/photokat4/g1/DSCF3335.jpg



Regarding the sticker being a negative vs a positive.....
last year I had a miscommunication with Jo and we both ended up getting the official 2011 sticker printed up.....but I got a negative and he got a positive or vice versa, I don't know which is which.....but mine (below) was much less attractive because it had the white vinyl square/borders, which was inconsistent with prior years.

Agree with Billy, my windows aren't tinted and the white die-cut shows up fine.

I guess that's good & bad news. The decal design is available but some members already have it.

Maybe we can have the side profile VX in a smaller size, driving up a mountain/rock/etc. I'll have some time tonight and will attempt to make something.

[Kenny]

Hey Jo, got your email.

So yeah, I was planning to throw together a few sticker options.
I do much prefer the cut out style like I always do them. It gives flexibility too if you want to re arrange the individual pieces or get rid of a part...

So here are my proposals. I'll do them up a bit better depending on the reaction and interest. I can do a few different styles too since I pay by the square inch so 5 of one style and 25 of another is the same price as 30 of just one.
These are a bit big at 6"x6" black square, I do prefer to go 4" or 5" square, but some of the detail gets lost when they are small with the laser cut outs.

I really got a kick out of the 2012 Mayan jab, so I threw it in. Cool beans!

Here's the contenders,

STICKER A:
For the last three years I wanted to do Moab in the shape of an arch, so here's my stab.

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/3261/moab_2012_a.jpg


STICKER B:
Without the Arch if it looks ugly or too 70's ish.

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/3261/moab_2012_b.jpg

STICKER C:
Just for those plain janes...

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/3261/moab_2012_c.jpg


Thanks for putting my feet to the fire Jo. Been meaning to tackle this for a month now.

Cheers dudes.

And yes Larry, It ALMOST looks like a skull.:p

[Kenny]

Hey Sue, If you want, I can print another 2011 for you with the proper reverse cut...
