Chevelle forums decals

[grumpy]

What would you like to see on a CF decal ? and would you put it on your cars widow. These would be the static cling type.

[rak1]

Yep on the rear window on the inside would be nice. How about the site name and internet address with color choices of the most common colors like Red, blue, green, yellow, etc on a white background. Something simple but elegant!!

[piette]

I would put a couple on the windows of my car for sure Dave!! I was hoping when things got rolling with this site we could get some window stickers.

As was said, I think I would do the site name, with a smaller site address below it, with some sort of chevelle-y type saying or something on it. As for colors, I would think just about any color would work fine, I know printing mutilple stickers would get really expensive and not be worth while for you, so I think a single sticker for the time being will have to suffice. You could even possibly have them printed red on a gray background just like the actual site is, then people may make that connection when they see a sticker at the car show or find our site then see a sticker or whatever.

My only suggestion is to keep it far enough away from TC stuff, I would rather be original than a ripoff artist of them. Something similar to what protouring.com does with a line drawing of a chevelle would be pretty cool in my opinion

[Hank70SS]

I'm not sure what you put on it. Definitely the site name and address. I would put one in my window for sure.

[flash]

I would need 2 to put on my 2 currently driveable cars.The design doesnt really matter to me .

[rak1]

After thinking about it for a moment I would go with what Jeff said. "You could even possibly have them printed red on a gray background just like the actual site is, then people may make that connection when they see a sticker at the car show or find our site then see a sticker or whatever". Do we have anyone who designs decals on this site?

[BADCHVL]

I think thats a great idea. I also agree with Jeff.That would be cool and i would definitly
put them on my car!

[admin]

Keep the feedback coming !

I will talk to our designer about throwing something together.

Dave

[Ms Grumpy]

I always try to think of a "tag line" when putting something like this together. But after thinking about it, I'm not sure if we would have enough room. I would like to see the word Chevelleforums.net stand out.

I would love to see the outline of a Chevelle in the backround, but then you have the question, what year Chevelle? \

Some people think that it is easy to do things like this, they are very mistaken. Hopefully we will be able to contact one of our friends who can help out with the design. But please keep your ideas coming.

[Hank70SS]

I would not do a Chevelle background. You have the 'What year?' issue to deal with for one thing. Maybe an "SS" or Super Sport? I know, not everyone has an SS, just a thought.

Maybe foreground Chevelle Forums, below that www.chevellforum.net. Background, '396', '427', '454', etc. scattered around.

[shadowgray396]

Decal would be a great idea.

[prostreet4ever]

I'm not sure what you put on it. Definitely the site name and address. I would put one in my window for sure.

...Waving....X2 !!

[piette]

I think if you were going to do a chevelle outline it should be a 70, purely because of how recognizable a 70 chevelle is, and I own a 69 so it certainly isnt based on personal preference.

You could also do a "chevelle" trunk script outline in the background instead of a car, that might be kind of cool.

I dont know that I would do any other type of designator, such as "SS" or " Malibu" or anything like that as you certainly dont want to segregate the site, or make new potential members feel they need to have an SS or whatever.

If a 3 color decal is possible, I think it would look neat to have "Chevrolet Chevelle Forums" across the top, with www.chevelleforum.org across the bottom all in site colors with a "chevelle" truck script through the middle in chrome.

Just some ideas to toss around

Jeff

[Highway Star]

I'd love to have a sticker for my car.

I don't was anything cheesy though, or dated looking, or too busy, or anything that we all can't put on our chevelles or elkies, even the guys with smallblock malibus (like me), not SS396 or SS454 or whatever.

We need to incorporate all years into the same sticker, the cursive script didn't come into use until '68 right?

I'm not trying to insert monkeys in wrenches here, friends. If it seems like I am, I'll can it.

Is there one emblem or logo that is definitive to all Chevelle variations?

[grumpy]

Is there one emblem or logo that is definitive to all Chevelle variations?

Ya know I honestly do not know the answer to that question.

I was leaning very heavily toward a type based sticker with our script from the top of the site. Just so it was tied in with the site.

Still trying to come up with something but id like to get a move on it. I would like to hand them out down in Tennessee next month.

Dave

[grandsport]

Jake,I think you know how I feel about monkeys. Let's keep them out of this,please.

Funny Gary.

I made this real quick. Clearly I am no designer. Sort of like what Mike was talking about?

That great!! just remember to put "1967 are the best" at the bottom.:D

[Ms Grumpy]

I don't know if we can legally use the Chevy symbol. I do love the idea though. We have to come up with something soon so we have time to order them.

[Highway Star]

I have an idea, but can't make it on my computer...I just tried for a while...

What about a wheel and tire, maybe a rally wheel, or SS wheel with a nice meaty tire on it, and the RWL on the tire says www.chevelleforum.org around the top and something catchy around the bottom?

???

I was thinking something almost exactly the same. The rally wheel idea is cool, www.chevelleforum.org across the top and maybe just something simple like "64 and up chevelle and elcamino forums" I would hate to see it say 64-72 and cut out those with later chevelles or elkies.

Perfect. Anyone second? Third? :D

[Hank70SS]

The wheel doesn't sound too bad but I've seen other emblems/stickers with a wheel. Maybe the 69/70 SS wheel is distinctive enough. I like the Chevelle script as well. Is it necessary to mention years at all? They didn't make the Chevelle until 64 so why say 64 and up?

[Derek69SS]

It's going to have to be "clean" and "low key" to go on my car... I'm not much of a sticker guy though.

[grumpy]

Were probably just going to use a type, based sticker, for now.

[Highway Star]

I'm not trying to be funny here, but if it isn't cool-looking, I'm not putting it on my car...kind of like Derek.

[grandsport]

I'm not trying to be funny here, but if it isn't cool-looking, I'm not putting it on my car...kind of like Derek.

I disagree,Jake. You are funnier than a barrel of monkeys.:p

[grumpy]

I agree ! !

[Ms Grumpy]

You guys have to remember that I will have a little bit of input on this, and I totally agree that if it is not cool, it's not going on my car.

There are so many factors, and that makes it so difficult, and we don't want to be like anyone else.

[rak1]

Any update? The Camino is waiting.....

[grumpy]

Just spoke to our designer last night. He came up with, what I think is a awesome idea. Should have artwork early next week.

Dave

[1969SS396]

Just thinking out loud here, wouldn't it be neat to also have T-shirts? I always wear a T-shirt probably like a lot of people here do and they range from my business logo, to car show stuff, lumber and material suppliers, etc. Maybe if the logo is something really neat the members on here would like to have a T-shirt done the same way to promote this forum when attending car shows.

Just a thought.

I just smiled when I read this. Probably 90% of my wardrobe is car cruise shirts. I have stacks and stacks of cruise shirts. Every year I say I am gonna throw some away, but then I think, this is a cool shirt and they probably won't make another one like this. And they do, but I still hang onto that dang shirt.

Enough of my rant. I agree shirts are cool. But they are also an expense that might have to wait a little while.

[grandsport]

Instead of shirts,how about tattoos?:p

[grumpy]

Eventually we will do a Tee, for now were just starting small with decals.

[flash]

If you design a t-shirt we could each buy them as needed.

[Ms Grumpy]

Let's get the window sticker done first. There are not enough hours in the day right now. Sorry.

[grandsport]

Yeah,Flash give her a break.:)

[flash]

No hurry, just throwing out ideas .

[grandsport]

Ideas are better to throw than rocks.

Am I in the right thread?

[grumpy]

I am hoping to have some artwork tomorrow or Tuesday. If it looks how I think it will, I'll let you guys see it.

Dave

[piette]

Well you can certainly put me down for a bunch, I'll put them on the chevelle, the toolbox, and my pickup truck, amongst other things.

Also when you do decide to do shirts, I'll order a few of those as well.,

Jeff

[Ms Grumpy]

Just had a rough day yesterday. I can't wait to see the design for the stickers. I have been looking at alot of different car clubs logos and I am amazed at the amount that used the crossed racing flags.

[grumpy]

I can tell you that as of right now, there will be no crossed vette flags in our decals ;)

[flash]

Yes sir boss ,no crossed flags .

[grandsport]

No cross dogs either.

[rak1]

Count Me and Mary in for four decals, and when the shirts are done we'll need six of them.

[flash]

Any updates on the decals ?

[Ms Grumpy]

We are looking at getting business cards made to have at Chevellabration. The artwork that we had in the past just didn't do anything for me. I would love to be able to have something to give to everyone. Let's wait and see. Chevellabration is pretty soon, may not have enough time for a decal.

[flash]

No rush ,I will patiently wait in my corner.

[69chevelless]

So did you guys make any decals for windows yet? I would like one to put next to my ACES one.

[Ms Grumpy]

No we haven't. We can't decide on the art work.

We have been concentrating on our other site Audiokarma. Every year we do a get together called AKfest at the Sheraton in Novi, Michigan. It takes up a lot of our time organizing it and unfortunately the Art work has not been worked on for a while.

I just wish that I could find something that looks good.

[Ms Grumpy]

So I have been checking into the window stickers and we want to keep them simple.

I am looking at an oval that is approximately 2.4" x 4". These are stickers, not clings. I am still looking at clings but the prices are almost double, and they are not cheap unless you order 1000. Anyway the oval that I am looking at I could not copy the page so I am trying to give you an idea of what it will look like. It has a white back round and I can get the lettering and outline of oval in black or red. It is not an exact match, the lettering will be almost the exact script that is on the top of this page.
So what do you think.

[Ms Grumpy]

Some of the window clings that I have looked at are running about $1 a piece, and when I want to order 200, that starts to get a little pricey.

[flash]

I like the red one and Im willing to chip in on some .

[Ms Grumpy]

I thought that for the stickers I would try to order some black and red.

[Ms Grumpy]

Once I get a final copy I will see if I can post it.

[flash]

Sounds good to me.

[robo3]

here ya go !

[Ms Grumpy]

Looks good robo3. But I am not sure how that would work as a window sticker. Might be a little small in the lettering once it is on the window. I need something that Pops and that you can see easily.

[Ms Grumpy]

I am back to trying to come up with ideas on decals, so I am going to ask for your help again. I know it has been a while, but I would love some more input. This is just so hard to decide on.

[Ken Hayes]

I'm workin on somethin Nancy......hang tight.

[Ken Hayes]

Was thinkin of something like this, then I remembered Dave sayin NO FLAGS. So back to the drawing board.

[Ken Hayes]

Ok no flags. Check this one out.

[flash]

Ken ,I like the one with the flags ,looks good .

[BillsCamino]

Ken ,I like the one with the flags ,looks good .

Of the two, I also like the flag version. The other seems to favor SS models only...

[Hank70SS]

Correct, think the SS thing was discussed before. Don't want to exclude non SS.

[Ken Hayes]

I also like the crossed flags one. On 5-31-2010 Dave posted there would be no crossed Corvette flags in the decal. These flags are NOT crossed Corvette flags. They are just crossed checkered flags and Corvettes dont have two of the same kind of flag in their emblems.

So I guess this design is something for Dave and Nancy to ponder over. Would be great to see a bunch of cars with this logo on them cruisin around this year.

Also, using the Chevy Bowtie wouldnt be a problem as alot of clubs use the bowtie.

[BillsCamino]

Maybe make the flags more like what was on the early fenders??

[Ken Hayes]

Bill, that looks too much like the Corvette flags that Dave doesnt want.

[Ms Grumpy]

Ken, I will only say this once. DON'T LISTEN TO DAVE. lol

I started this forum and he reminds me all the time that it is my forum, that I have to take care of it and that it is my decision.

And I also really like the one with the flags. (So did David) I knew that I didn't go with any other design because the right one would come along.

The members here have never steered me wrong so.......I just have to ask, who would put this on their car ? And should it be round or square ?

[Ms Grumpy]

I didn't say it in the last post but, that is an awesome design Ken.

[RBeckman]

I like the flag design and I would put one on my car and other things like I did with my water bottle.

3102

[Ken Hayes]

Thanks Nancy. I would without a doubt put this on my car or tee shirt or whatever, thats for sure.

I would go with the round design and maybe to add a touch of color, one of the flags could be red and white checkers (you have alot of red on the forums...so why not?)

[flash]

I too like the round and the extra color ,square would be too similar to the other forum. I think Ken should buy them since he came up with such a great design and he has been so unkind to send us this DAMN SNOW.

[Ken Hayes]

He He He...............If Nancy can find a place to get em done at a reasonable price, I'll pitch in. Thats guarenteed.

[Ken Hayes]

Heres the other flag..........you guys be the judges.

[BillsCamino]

I like the added color with those flags...although it may increase the production cost.
While we're at it...How about a blue bowtie?
Makes it a little patriotic...

[flash]

Since Ken's buying lets just make an assortment ,LOL.

[jcoffey411]

I would be willing to pay more for a better looking sticker I own a vinyl cutter if you guys come up with a single color design I would cut a bunch up

[Ms Grumpy]

I spent last night doing some research on the costs of doing these. If we do them as a clear window cling. Before the red, it looks like it would be 7 colors and the cost of 500 would be about $750. It seems like a lot but the clear clings are more expensive that normal stickers. Then add on 6 additional colors and that adds up too. I will do my best to get these made as window clings, but we have to be realistic and look at the cost, we may have to make them as stickers.

I like this design and it looks like a lot of the members like them too. I do want to do them in the circular shape, I think it is different than most out there.

Ken and I are going to work together and see what we can do to get this done. If anyone knows of a printer, or has anymore suggestions please let me or Ken know.

[Ms Grumpy]

The only other thing that I would love yout input on is size. Do we want a 3", 3 1/2", 4" or larger size sticker. What works the best ?

[jcoffey411]

I like 3" and the static is a good idea

[flash]

Im willing to chip in too .

[Quadracer392]

Hey Nancy, my fiance parents own an embroidery and screen printing business and can make shirts, hats, banners and regular stickers. (I'd have to check on the static cling type stickers). I can run this stuff by them and see what they would charge if you'd like. About how many of each shirt and stickers would you want?

[Ken Hayes]

Nancy and Dave pointed out that I left out the "s" on the sites name. Sorry, I didnt even notice......must be these 67 year old eyes actin up......anyways heres the revised design.

[flash]

Looks good ,I like it ,but Im still not happy with you for sending us this white stuff ,LOL .Im glad its finally leaving us and getting back to normal.

[Quadracer392]

Nancy and Dave pointed out that I left out the "s" on the sites name. Sorry, I didnt even notice......must be these 67 year old eyes actin up......anyways heres the revised design.

Hey Ken, There isn't an "S" in the web address. If you put an "S" on it when you type it in, it makes it a dead link and doesn't take you anywhere.

[Ken Hayes]

John, if it makes you happy.......we got another 1" last night and they say we're getting more starting tonight through Saturday. We ended up setting a record for the most snow in a months time ever recorded around Detriot......just a hair over 40".

[Ken Hayes]

Hey Nancy.......look at this http://www.sgurl.us/sh/75171.58118 be here by Friday.

I'm not sure if you saw my post the other day but there isn't a "S" in the web address to get to this site. Click on the two links below to see which one brings you to the site page.

This is the address that's on the sticker
www.chevelleforums.org

This is the correct one.
www.chevelleforum.org

[Ken Hayes]

I saw it and did as I was told by Nancy.

[Quadracer392]

Ok. Well, I understand, she is the boss of this site after all. I know its the name of the site, I just hated to see the wrong web address advertised.

[Ms Grumpy]

I have been going round and round with this and I am so mad at myself for this. But you know what. It all happened so fast and it was my mistake in my excitement. I have used both addresses and have items with both addresses on them. I can't believe that I did this.

www.chevelleforum.org

Justin the problem is fixed. Today we bought the chevelleforums.org site name and had any one who clicked on it...directed right to chevelleforum.org. That is not to say that we won't make stickers up, down the road, with the chevelleforum.org name on it. But for now it will take people to our site which is what the stickers were intended for.

I picked the stickers up from Ken today and they look awesome. I cannot thank Ken enough for doing all the hard work.

[Ken Hayes]

It was my pleasure Nancy, glad I could contribute something.

[Quadracer392]

Awesome! I'll definitely take a few of them when they are available.

Ken, thanks for doing the design, they turned out great!!

[flash]

Good deal.

[Quadracer392]

Did the stickers ever come in? How do we go about order them?

[Ms Grumpy]

If you are going to the NOCC show in August you will receive one of the stickers in your "Goodie Bag". Chevelleforum is a sponsor of the show and I sent them a stack to put into the bags. If not, send me a PM and I will let you know how you can get them.

[Ken Hayes]

Guys, I made up some new stickers for Chevy lovers. These are high quality, 3"x4" outside the window stickers that definitely get your message out. I've gotta sell them for $1.00 ea to cover my cost on having them made. If interested, get ahold of me at knj5678@hotmail.com or on the forums here.
