UB decals could be better - United Bimmer Community

**jybute** · 10-22-2005, 09:08 PM

I saw for the first time today the ub window decals. I think they are pretty good, the only thing I would change though is I would put a dark outline around the "unitedbimmer.com". Whether it be black or navy, or any color for that matter.
????????/ What do you guys think?

Any input is appreciated

Well it would look better if the sticker were bigger, as is size wise its not that big a thing and wouldnt make that much of a diff.

Yeah, the size was the biggest problem IMO. I think since we designed those, we've gotten a few new graphic artists who've joined UB as members, like voca, so hopefully the next batch of decals will be much better and stand out a bit more.

Yea, the size was the problem. When the image is that small with intricate cuts like letters, the plotter tends to cut innacurately, and that's why you'll notice the letters came out somewhat crooked and uneven.

If you're gonna do this more often as UB/US grows, you might consider buying a vinyl plotter. The smaller ones can handle 4-8" wide stock, and you can get them for about 200-400 bucks. Hooks right up to a PC or Mac, and includes software. Could save a ton of dough in the long run.

Am down for the same design, but a bit taller and longer...

**jybute** · 10-23-2005, 07:38 PM

Would it be a problem if I got some ub/canada stickers done up? How much do you think it would cost, you can use US dollars, and what do I have to base the design off of? I would deffinetly like to do it according to ub of course. So tell me what I have to do and I will try and take care of it as soon as possible.

UB Canada stickers would be kool. But since theres like only 10 members actualy from canada i doubt it would be worth the money at this point in time.

**jybute** · 10-24-2005, 09:01 PM

So what, we could be like the pioneers of ub canada

**voca** · 10-24-2005, 09:25 PM

how would a ub canada sticker differ from any other ub sticker? you mean you want like a big ol' maple leaf coming out of it or something patriotic? I don't think I understand.

DEATH2000 · 10-24-2005, 09:26 PM

^^^ probably just take the same decal and under UnitedBimmer.com have in small letters "Canada"

**voca** · 10-24-2005, 09:51 PM

the problem with that is that it is kind of a denotation of a canadian branch of unitedbimmer, when in actuality it is a community, whether the member be candadian, american, european, asain, or whatever.

personally, I think it'd be cool to have a regional decal or something, but realistically they should all be the same.

**jybute** · 10-24-2005, 10:20 PM

well then, lets break it up, ub usa, ub canada, ub asia and so forth
