boxer autogruppe banner for show?

[petevw]

i was thinking of making a banner for the great canadian bug show. i was a part of a club: VMC (volkswagen motorsport club) quite a while ago when the show was at eglinton and warden. we had set up our cars with a club banner and generated a lot of interest.

so i was thinking of a boxer autogruppe logo much like the ad banner at the top right of this forum, and the germanlook.com logo found at the top left. probably the www.------- stuff for these two sites also at the bottom.

in the next couple of days i will be going to a few sticker/sign shops and hearing what these guys think is the best way of doing this.

what do you guys think?

Sounds like a good idea, what about the cost?

[petevw]

im going to show these guys this web page. the logo and banner at the top, and see what they say. since i know nothing about this graphic stuff, send my the pics/stuff that will make things easier.

Great idea Pete !

If you have a price, we can all chip in ?

I'll be running in the autocross so maybe I can fly the banner !

Let me know if you need anything.

Sounds pretty good !

I'll take one.

Unfortunately I won't be able to drive my Bug, although I did find a shop that can put oversized dowels in the flywheel/crank without taking the engine apart :cool:

talk to a guy, http://www.streamlinegraphics.ca/ and he suggested that instead of him cutting all the colours out of vinyl and putting it together, we should get a digital print onto vinyl them stick it on the banner. he says it would look way better.

so, i need the 2 logo's in a larger clear format.
Alex, Bryan, could you guys send me these? i guess the bigger the better.

later,

Pete,

Sounds cool. Unforunately, the GL.com logo is only available in the size you see on the site. That is the size that I asked the logo to be created for. Sorry.

I'll see if I can find a a larger version though.

do you have a hi res pic of the germanlook logo?

just a sec....do i have permission from you and Alex to do this? i remember a while ago the copywrite issues that were brought up about items on this site.

[Sandeep]

Ofcourse you have permission ! :D All ya gotta do is ask !:D

Sandeep

[Alex]

We might have to look into getting a new logo done for GL.com. Not sure if we ever get a bigger logo and I need it anyways for T-shirts that I want to get made.

Bryan...how about making a killer logo for us?

hello,
Sure, I can do that, email me some more specific info on concept, what you want it to look like, what you would like to use it for, stickers, banners etc.
Bry

let me know where you guys get your banner done. we have been planning the same thing for the VKG for a November show (when we hope to have some more cars done), but haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

here's what im talking about:

[petevw]

i feel the great canadian bugshow will be a important venue for us to promote "Boxer Autogruppe". show who we are, what we do. this be the best opportunity to increase our members. mind you, we have done alright with the word of mouth proccess, this site, and involving friends.
ohhh.....Alex is your pan done? could it possibly make a appearance? :D

[Alex]

:hehehe: :hehehe: :hehehe:

It would be nice but I do not think so.

Alex

[Sandeep]

Aww . C'mon Alex .... you can tow it behind the echo !

Seriously though .. if its a matter of transporting it, maybe we could arrange a trailer ?

We can discuss at the meeting if this is an option. :)

Sandeep

[Rob]

I think it is a great idea !

It shows a project car, which I think is always interesting.
A lot of people don't appreciate the effort and time that went (goes) into these cars when they only see the end product.

Rob.

[Sandeep]

You really have to see Alex's pan ... its a showcase of every serious mod you could make to one .. Alu trailing arms, Berg 5 speed in Autocraft case, DTM-style shifter, Coilover suspension, Porsche Big Reds ... very impressive.

If you didn't know he was building a streetcar, you would think he was building a pan-based racecar.

I'm sure that pan is worth more than some cars on the street ... would definately be a show-stopper at the show !

have you guys figured out the "right" size for a club banner? thinking of doing one for our big show coming up.

[vujade]

zen, maybe 6' or 8' long x 2' high?

[CLKWRK]

Pete,
if you need the banner done, please tell me the specs ASAP
I am crazy busy getting the ghia running for the show

PS, Alex, I have a trailer if you need one;)

[Sandeep]

I know where his pan is ... we just need to distract him for a couple of hours ... :D :D
