I'd like to start by thanking Sal R1 for helping us out and getting this going. He's going to post up some rules and suggestions for decal/logo drawings. Since he manufacturers these, he will be the authority on what is possible.

Any suggestions by others on the forum besides prospective members is appreciated as well.

Remember, these will be up for public viewing, so keep it relatively clean. There will be a vote later so please keep criticism to a minimum, unless it is warranted.:thumbup j/k

Thanks again,
Jason "Meister481"

I would like to congratulate Meister on being the CO & wish him & the Phantom squadron the best in the future.


After discussing this with Meister we thought it a good idea to clarify the guidelines for your guys new squadron logo.

The standard squadron size for a logo as used by all other squadrons is 3.5 inches. This size has worked out perfect for us as you can place that size logo pretty much anywhere on a bike & even your helmet if you choose.

So far all other squadrons have preferred a round shape logo but other shapes or designs are also viable.

According to squadron rules the logo must include the wording (Phantom Squadron), your squadron #s, in this case (R1-012) and R1-FORUM.COM. You can arrange these in any way you would like.

Its customary to incorporate an appropriated mascot, image or shape that your squadron can identify with! This is the real fun part as I have come to learn that there are many creative types among us!

The design cannot be overly complex with large amounts of detailing as it will need to made into a viable decal.

Attached is a rough sample logo that meets all squadron guidelines.

I would be happy to chime in and address any & all question you may have.

Have fun guys and congratulations again on your new Squadron.:fact

How about putting something like this

or this (Just one or other of the outlines)

or a combination of both :dunno

inside Sal's outline. I don't have Photoshop or anything otherwise I would have given it a go.

Personally I'm not keen on the pistons or the sort of balloon with Phantom Squadron in but like the skull and the wings sticking outside.
Sal is there any way you can drop the pistons and lower the skull and get the Squadron name back in a circle , would just like to see how that looked. :thumbup

Can we lose the word "Squadron" and center the word "Phantom" at the top? Then let the wings on the skull come out of the circle instead of being cropped? I kinda like the fangs as well.

Sal_R1

I think the central location of the scull and the wings filled in look the part.
Needs some cleaning up to look uniform etc.

Mix the 2 and I think we have something. I like Sal's Forum at the top, squadron at the bottom, it's the Forum member thing that is the more important I think. It's why we are here anyway.
Leave the fangs, and the wings breaking through are great (I'm sure Sal's final would not have had blacked out wings)
Now can we just scale the skull up a bit inside the circle and let the wings out more :dunno

Damn wish I had Adobe and, more importantly, knew how to use it :lol

I thought the wings looked nice filled in. Just another version for you guys to consider. The design attached although a nice one as far as i am aware does not meet squadron rules as (squadron) is omitted from it. I am sure Danq will chime in to verify this one way or the other.

At 3.5 inches at its widest point the Yamaha logo on the eye patch will be 0.3 inches across. Its borderline possible but without the fine detail. Simply too small. I will give it a shot.

Nothing I see in the rules is in question. So it is the decision of the CO and the squadron. As long as they are in agreement and it doesn't constantly change, I have no input.

I know I'm not in your squadron but this is just a though here from a guy with a good eye. I think the wings don't match the menacing look of the skull. Perhaps if they were sharper or torn, more rugged. Maybe different kinds of wings. They seem a bit too....soft I guess.

I know I'm not in your squadron but this is just a though here from a guy with a good eye. I think the wings don't match the menacing look of the skull. Perhaps if they were sharper or torn, more rugged. Maybe different kinds of wings. They seem a bit too....soft I guess.

I totaly see what youre saying, and I agree with you, although I do have to say though that there is a certain artistic aspect to the contrast of angelic wings and a demonic skull.

Good observation, I love the sigs you make BTW. Im gonna have to take a few good pics of my bike once the weather breaks and send them your way.

I dunno, I think the skull is a bit overdone in the world of motorcycles. All you see over the years are skulls repeated everywhere. I was hoping for something unique and different. Glad the crossed pistons idea was quickly dropped.

I looked up the definition of Phantom and found this:

1. a. Something apparently seen, heard, or sensed, but having no physical reality, a ghost or an apparition.
b. Something elusive or delusive.
2. An image that appears only in the mind; an illusion.
3. Something dreaded or despised.

I was thinking maybe on outline of an R1 or the Yamaha symbol and make it appear to be semi-vanishing or fading. Just my $.02.

I like this guys thinking. The skull, however badass, is somewhat overdone. I liked the idea of the phantom jet. To me the lines of our bikes make me think of a fighter jet, but then again Im an idiot and should probably sit in the corner while important decisions are made lol.

The only problem I see with a fading look is these are gonna be a solid color vinyl, so that may be hard to achieve.

It will be impossible to achieve unless the image was printed on the vinyl were in that case the inks will have the same property as regular stickers and the cost will be considerably more! Its also possible with regular stickers that have a border but it would cost many hundreds of $ just to get the artwork done and the run is usually in the thousands! If the run were in the 100 or so range even at those prices they would cost an arm and a leg!

Additionally unlike die cut vinyl decals were one solid color is in the vinyl, stickers will fade crack & peel after a period of time unless they are industrial quality such as the warning stickers on brand new bikes that cost considerably more.

Die cut vinyls that are rated for the outdoors come with a lifetime guarantee. :thumbup

Here are my official sumbissions for the logo. Hi res versions are available if needed.

Heres the deal with the ones I made, if you want a LIGHT colored vinyl, use the logo with the BLACK backround, for DARK vinyl, use the WHITE backround. That will help give you an idea of what it will look like. The backround color of the logo will be cut out, so it will be the color of your bike or whatever you stick it on.

Style #1
http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5563/skullmask.jpg

Style #2
With this one, the face would be cutout, so only features will be vinyl.
http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/3228/openface.jpg

Style #3
This is the opposite of #2, the features will be cutout and the head will be vinyl.

No idea, I didnt create the original. I took the one with the skull and wings and just modified it.

Im assuming that youre willing to take a stab at it? If so, go ahead and choose a similar one to what we have, or what the other squadrons have. I dont think we are to picky on the font.
