Hey Art: Logos...

[sperry]

Here's a few of the logo's I drew up:

http://www.seccs.org/gallery/Reno%20Meets/Club%20Logos/logo-summary.jpg

The 1st is the official logo (http://www.seccs.org/gallery/Reno%20Meets/Club%20Logos/official%20seccs%20logo.psd) for use online, on letterheads, cards, that type of stuff. It should be rendered just fin in black and white grayscale.

The second is the spotted card (http://www.seccs.org/gallery/Reno%20Meets/Club%20Logos/business_card_3.5in2in600dpi.psd) in true color, 600dpi 2"x3.5".

Then there's the straight logo with the URL (http://www.seccs.org/gallery/Reno%20Meets/Club%20Logos/seccs_logo_print_url_straight_8in2in600dpi.psd), the plain straight logo (http://www.seccs.org/gallery/Reno%20Meets/Club%20Logos/seccs_logo_print_short_straight_8in2in600dpi.psd), and the left (http://www.seccs.org/gallery/Reno%20Meets/Club%20Logos/seccs_logo_print_short_italic_left_8in2in600dpi.ps d) and right (http://www.seccs.org/gallery/Reno%20Meets/Club%20Logos/seccs_logo_print_short_italic_right_8in2in600dpi.p sd) italicized logos. They're all 2 color, 600dpi 8"x2" for use in vinyl decals. I figure we should find out how much it'd cost to have a few of each done in a few colors... namely black, white and silver/grey... would anyone want a different color? I might like a pair of italic logos in World Rally Blue for my rear side windows.

I'm assuming photoshop PSD's are cool for getting things printed, make sure to download the above links and send them off, they're the high resolution images for printing. Find out how much these will cost, and we can figure out how many to get printed.

T-shirts to come!

[ArthurS]

I will get ahold of Mavrick printing today and get some costs. Thanks.

[BOO]

Goom Morning Guys !! Yes that would be cool Art. If you guys want us to Colaborate, We'd love to .. just let us know :)

[nohandsonthewheel]

If you guys need some other t-sirt prices I can get them from NEBS ... we use them for our business. We have our logo embroidered by them on our shirts but they also do screen and silk prints. I'll bring the logo on Thursday so you guys can see their quality.

[ArthurS]

Okay. The lady is coming by my office tomorrow morning to pick up the disk. She will make some samples which I wil hopefully get before Thursday. Since some people will be gone this Thursday, I will probably take pictures or just bring them the folowing week. This is for the business type cards or flyer's.

I am meeting with the window decal person tomorrow morning also, since she is the one doing my magnets. I will give here the copies and see what she can do for the vinyl window letters.

[ArthurS]

Okay. The printing lady has the design for the business-type cards. She will send me a sample next week due to the holiday. So I will have them by next Thursday meet.

The lady that is doing my magnets and window-decals, I am meeting with later on this afternoon.

What is the quantity amount for the business cards? I asked her to quote me 100 and 500 cards.

As for window decals, we would each need to know what we would want. Like Scott said, some may want italics or bold or different colors. So we will need to have a poll or something eventually with what style people want.

[MattR]

I want the ones that are slanted left, but one of each of the slant would be cool, so I can have the proper lean on each side of the car in white of course.

[nohandsonthewheel]

i agree with matt i think one of each lean would look better so that they go the same way when you put them on the opposite sides of the car.

[tysonK]

I want NO lean, and in GOLD!

[BOO]

I actually like the one that shows the entire website address ...

[STIwish]

I'm gonna have to agree with Sergio on this one.

[MattR]

I want leaners with the address, that would be sick...

[STIwish]

yeah yeah, that would be even more sick.

[sperry]

If we do "leaners" with the address, you can always trim off the address part and not apply it to the car.

I suggest we go with just the leaners w/ addresses in white, gold, black and silver/gray. Assuming there isn't a huge cost increase for getting lots of colors and essentially two different (left and right) stickers. WE may ned to buy these in some sorta bulk instead of one offs for each member... I want to have one printing run of these and be able to sell them to new members w/o getting more printed for a while.

[ArthurS]

I will know by tomorrow the costs to run them. I will also have the price for the business cards and a sample to bring to the meet.

[sperry]

Okay, here's what I'm considering the "final" logos for the stickers:

http://www.seccs.org/gallery/Reno%20Meets/Club%20Logos/seccs_car_sticker_summary.jpg

Here's the actual files for the stickers

Left Sticker, 600dpi, 9"x2.25", 2 color Adobe PSD (http://www.seccs.org/gallery/Reno%20Meets/Club%20Logos/seccs_logo_print_url_italic_left_9in2.25in600dpi.p sd)

Right Sticker, 600dpi, 9"x2.25", 2 color Adobe PSD (http://www.seccs.org/gallery/Reno%20Meets/Club%20Logos/seccs_logo_print_url_italic_right_9in2.25in600dpi. psd)

I think we should print at 10 of each in White, Black and Gold/Yellow for a total of 60 stickers.

[nohandsonthewheel]

I really like that! It is going to look awesome!

[ArthurS]

She is getting me prices today for each style and color. Will post them later or just tell them to you guys tomorrow.

[sperry]

Here's the latest logos, this time they're in Adobe Illustrator vector format.

There's three logos:

seccs_logo1.ai: that's the non-italic version
seccs_logo2L.ai and seccs_logo2R.ai: the Left and Right italic versions
and
seccs_logo3.ai: the "full" logo with mountains, the name, the logo and the URL (I'm thinking this will be a candidate for a T-Shirt logo, or for the SECCS banner)

The attached zip file contains all these files, plus the preview JPG and the font files for the fonts I used.

I'm going to start a poll for people to vote for quantities / color.

One more thing Art....

Just to make sure we're all on the same page, make sure your printer knows these are NOT square bumper stickers, but are vinyl cut outs... where black in the logo is the selected color, and white is nothing.

I'd hate to get a big order of square white stickers with printing on it that we'd have to try and cut out by hand with scissors or something!

LOL....actually she doesn't even do bumper stickers. Here entire business is vinyl designs. So that won't be a issue. I will send these ones to her and get new pricing with different quantities.

just making sure... I don't want to be the tard that orders 30 useless stickers.

[sperry]

Ok Art... here's the latest logos... the zip contains the original Adobe Illustrator 10 files, Adobe Illustrator 9.0 files, the fonts and the preview jpg.

[sperry]

Okay, here's the new black and white business card... tell me what you think:

[ArthurS]

I like it a lot. Almost better then the first. If everyone agrees....I can get it over to her tomorrow.

As for the stickers...We are going to be getting a better deal. She is coming into my office tomorrow to drop off my magnets and we are going to go over it all. I will give her your number then. Thanks Scott. 8)

Looks good! Are you doing B&W due to cost? Because I do like the colored wrx, but understand if it adds too much $$ for printing.

Yeah, the B&W is like $50 for 1000, while the color's $100 for 500 IIRC...

so that's like 4 times the cost (must be because each cards gets printed 4 times.. CYMK and all... :lol:)

[sperry]

Yo Art,

Amanda (I think that was her name) called me about the business cards. I guess they'll cost a little more since the checkered flag logo runs to the edge of the card.

Since she said it wasn't a lot more (say $60 for 1000 cards?), I figured that it'd be cool to leave the design that way. If it turns out to be a lot more (like over $60 for 1000), then we can scrap the checkered flag, or modify it so it doesn't run to the edge.

Personally, that sounds fine. I am sure it would take all of us awhile to get rid of that many cards. Yea, her name is Amanda. Linda from the Sticker shop should be giving you a call also.

If that sounds good to everyone then I am fine. Just let me know.

[STIwish]

I like the cards... I ran into a lightly modified WRX last night and i had wished i had one.
