FRRAX.com decals? Options

[robz71lm7]

I like it better without the "WWW." I think two versions would be nice-one silver in the center and another white in the center.

I can take i960's files in on disk and get them made, but we might want to wait and see what everyone else comes up with. If i960 has a shop he likes that would probably be easier. Our local "Fast Signs" does decals and static clings. I also have a paypal account that can take credit cards if people don't want to mail checks.

Instead of a white center alternate, I think red or blue would look good.

I think I like it better sans www too, but the full url would look good with a stylized topline of an f-body profile above it (with a 2nd gen, nascaresque spoiler).

I think they look good. Let me know when, & how much. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I took quite a bit of art in high school (weird for an engineering major isn't it?). I could draw a nice f-body outline. I think a 3rd or 2nd gen would be a nice outline-like sean mentioned. The only problem is getting the sketch into digital format-I'll see if I can sketch something up and then if the sign shop can do that.

[robz71lm7]

This iroc would make the perfect outline. I think the 3rd gen is most identified/pictured car when you think of an f-body. You could make the spoiler touch taller and maybe add a splitter.

Very true. but at the same time when others see the 3rd gen, they instantly think "mullet" (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) . I still get it from the porsche guys at the track and I think my car is anything but a mullet machine.

I don't know any shops around here that do this kind of stuff. I'm sure there are some, but I've never checked them out. I can do pretty much anything in Photoshop (been using it since version 2.5 when it came on floppies), but I suck at doing hand drawn stuff. My brother is pretty good at artwork though and I do have a nice scanner to work with, so that's another option.

If these turn out nice I'll definitely put one on my car, and I don't even race! (yet). Still saving up to get a beater before I take my SS off it's daily driver status.

I put all the decals on a single page on my website, which you can view here:

I made a new one which is at the bottom using an outline of the 3rd gen posted. I have to admit I'm not all that artistic so I'm sure someone could come up with something better. It's a transparent PNG, so if you are viewing it in Internet Explorer it will fill in the transparent areas with a lighter gray color. If you view it in Mozilla, it works properly and shows the background through. Just wanted to get an idea of what it could look like without a solid white background. I tried using a transparent GIF instead, but the edges get all jaggedy and it looks like crap. When printing none of that will matter, assuming the printing people can handle it.

I like the one with the cars outline.

heck, having it on my window, might distract people from staring at my mullet.

[rmackintosh]

I like the one with the cars outline as well.....just wish it was the more "swoopy" lines of the 4th gen....and maybe a little "splash" of color......I don't know red, white and blue, or maybe GM blue and white....

GOOD START THOUGH....

[robz71lm7]

I like the 3rd gen one I think it's important that the shape be distinctively f-body. We could offer them with or without a car outline. If someone could post a good side pic of a 4th gen I'm sure i960 could do that.

How about this?

[i960]

I'll work on it some more tonight. I have a couple side shots of my car too. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Added another one in red and blue.

Guys given the choice of sign shops, would you support "just another sign shop" or a fellow F-body enthusiast.

I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but Brent Frankner is making vinyl decals.
Someone should check with him to see if he's interested.

I don't think he charges and arm and a leg. That way we can still send profits to Chris for the board, but not cost us a boatload at the same time.


Also, I like the plain old FRRAX.com or www.FRRAX.com.

[robz71lm7]

That's a good idea Lonnie. I've gotten some decals from him before. Brent does good work and is reasonably priced.

Also, I like the plain old FRRAX.com or www.FRRAX.com.

Lonnie if you only want frrax.com I'm sure that will be made seperately. If not these decals are usually done in sections so you could just not apply the outline part.

I emailed Brent about the decals-awaiting reply. I also asked if he can make static clings. Either way I think he'd be a great choice for decals.

Here's one I threw together (kinda rough), with a 98 up Camaro outline:
