Looks great so far guys! Similar designs to the Vertex auto logo as well..
I am not saying we need something completely origonal, but unique would be
nice.

I like this one so far! http://i11.tinypic.com/4dr7ocj.jpg

Maybe, we can work a simple black Porsche emblem in there somewhere...
what do you think?

Not without Porsche's legal group getting upset!

That design looks too much like RennTech's too.

I appreciate all the creativity and suggestions from the forum members. You guys are why this forum is the best.

Rich and I have spoken and here are our thoughts:
- some owners love them and some wouldn't even consider a decal/sticker on their car
- we'll never come up w/ something that pleases everyone
- we won't ask a member to do any production or fulfillment
- it has to be a worthwhile endeavor for us (yes, meaning profitable)

So I've ordered some tastefully sized window stickers (2"h x 3" w):
- 50 blue
- 50 red

Here are the designs and the cost is $6 ea (includes shipping). Paypal to 986forum@comcast.net

I would be happy to support the forum with a sticker - some of the suggestions look great. It just feels a little off though putting a 986 sticker on a 987. Still, I guess if we have as much street-cred as we think we do, anyone who would notice the difference in model designations would know of our forum...

rkwei · 10-20-2006, 05:09 AM

I forgot to mention: indicate in the PayPal comments section if you want red or blue.

okay i think you should cancel this order, who's going to put that on there car.

a decal sticker is usually just letters. i have never seen anyone put a picture in the decal.

you would of saved alot of money if you just made a decal like "986forum" done.

and red or blue are the worst colours ever for a decal..............white black or silver so that anyone can buy one.

you just messed this entire post. it was suppose to be a simple decal...like the heading of this website......986forum.com that easy.

i think i will make my own.....it cost $2 at the local print shop...probably even $1.

even UKchris designs were half decent. they were alittle too much, but they looked good. who wants a picture of there car in a sticker on there car...soo bad. but the image of the car in ukchris's designs were good.

Wow that's harsh. It kind of reminds me of a camp councilor I once had when I was 6 who kept yelling at me how stupid I was when I was throwing gutter balls on some bowling fieldtrip.

10-20-2006, 06:00 AM

lol...honestly was that not the worst decal you have ever seen.....looked more like an advertisment.......i'm not selling the site on my car....i just want ownership to a site....

oh well i think it'll look great on your car dr kill....lol.....i ll take all 50 in blue....so that none of you put that god awful sticker on your car.....

You take the blue decal and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.

You take the red decal and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

Remember -- all I am offering is the truth, nothing more.

Well - I'm taking my marbles and going home to sulk now. As I surmised there will be too many opinions on what is tasteful, acceptable, reasonable cost, line/noline, picture/no picture, white letters/dark background, dark letters/ white background, letters only and on and on.

Options:

- Everyone can just go and do their own decals, stickers, etc for $1 ea as KronixSpeed suggests. ...or

-You guys should take a poll to see what the favorite is so far. Then do a poll to see if it should be a decal or bumper sticker or window sticker, etc. Then we need a poll to see what you'd be willing to pay. My deadline for you is November 15th.

If that all gets done by that timeline and there is a clear consensus (2/3) majority on all these dimensions, then I will work to make it happen.

I'm not putting any decals or stickers on my car.

I even wish I could get rid of the DMV sticker on my windshield.

Let's make this happen then. It seems to me we'll need two polls if we're to get to your 2/3 consensus.

OK so set it up.

ukchris · 10-20-2006, 07:00 AM

I think it first needs to be determined where the sticker/decal would go and what size it should be. If it's going to go on the car and especially if it's on glass it should be a single color with no shading, then it can be a cut decal.

I think the picture ones are good for t-shirts and regular stickers but this thread seemed to be more focussed on a simple decal to get the name of the forum out there.

For my $0.02 I think it should be line art, no wider than the bottom of the windstop and not too tall, it should be either just the URL and maybe a footnote or incorporate a line art image of a Boxster.

A spoiler sticker, if people are that committed, is just as easy to set up, I just ordered a sheet of custom spoiler stickers for someone else.

If there is to be only one sticker I'd start the poll on how big it should be and where you'd be willing to stick it (humorous responses welcome).

window sticker url only, i have voted....

"986forum.com" i don't even like the .com in there.....but whatever i'll still buy one. white green magenta black yellow cream whatever colour you decide.

it was suppose to be a simple decal...to be part of the club...ya hear.

lol this pole idea is great, works far better.

Brucelee · 10-20-2006, 08:40 AM

I applaud you all and I am stayin' out of it.

I have never put a sticker on any car I have ever owned. Came close once when Penn sent me a sticker in order to try and get my alum dollars. I sent them the money and put the sticker in the drawer.

Close, but no cigar.

Best of luck guys.

blinkwatt · 10-20-2006, 09:46 AM

Alright here is what I voted for;window sticker with "986forum"/"986forum.com". Plain and simple.
