Official Graphic Voting Poll

Ok here are the graphics.... Any size recommendations. I'd like to stick with one standard size so its easier for him to make. I just sent him the graphics and he said they all would be the same cost.... I figure we can stay with black or white...otherwise hit up Sal and he can do them in any color you want. BTW sorry for my spelling on the poll...missed a few keys :crash I'd fix it if I knew how....

Poll choices go from the top being the very left pic and moving towards the right as the poll goes downwards..... kinda confusing:lol... got it?

With as few members as we have I think this poll should be multiple choice. Maybe everyone pick 3 and we do the run off with the best 2 or 3?? JMO What does everyone think. I really don't have a 1 vote favorite at this point.

fine by me I don't know how to edit the poll to vote mult time though....

I just tried to edit the poll I posted and I don't think you can.

dammit... I can't even figure it out either.... Lee when does the bike hit the steet again? and wtf is up with all this snow all weekend?

Gonna try to paint this weekend, got to get the bushing for the exhaust mount, headlight on the way. I hate FN snow.

Voted. The polls not public either since we're all being picky. I mean, I'm sure that nobody would vote if they weren't in the squadron or anything...

well crap I forgot to make it public as well let me PM Dan and see if he can do so.....

Voted :thumbup

Here is a alt. to #3 we can do it either way and I like it either way, just a afterthought.

lee did you get my PM about the r1-forum having to visible.... I was not aware of that I though it only had to be the squadron number

I really like the black card my self. Any way we could put a circle border around it with pertinent ID info? A circle like logo #2 has?

Once a graphic is voted on and selected, I will do a final version that is all clean and I will add the r1forum.com at that time. It will all depend on which graphic we go with.

That's cool. You're putting a ton of time into these. After that last post I thought I might be coming across as kinda dick. I wasn't expecting you to keep coming up with them, just throwing out ideas and seeing what people thought. But yeah, should probably wait on these "suggestions"...:thumbup

But yeah, should probably wait on these "suggestions"...:thumbup What I was thinking is depending on which graphic is selected,(I voted for the black card as well), I will do 2 versions, one for colored bikes and one for black bikes. Just a thought, will have to work all the details out with the printer.

Maybe we could not put the R1-017 and use the R1-Forum in it's place??

Sounds good man I can't emphasize enough the thanks I got for you doing this... I sure as hell would have no idea where to start...hopefully we can meet up next week! Maybe we could not put the R1-017 and use the R1-Forum in it's place?? I like that idea...I'm going to leave it up to him. Is the headlight in yet?

hey lee just for an Idea of the amount of detail and size that is printable for the graphics....he just made these for the race bike and the outline is about a 1/16 of an inch wide and worked out fine...didn't have a heat gun but they stuck fine. demensions were 6x4 don't know if that helps at all...

I know Im WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY late to even have any input but it looks like there was a tie. My vote is for the one with the skull and top hat

I like that idea...I'm going to leave it up to him. Is the headlight in yet? No headlight yet, got the fuel pump for the IROC extra volume Bosch good for 400 horse, got off work at noon, drove to the springs to a junk yard to pick up a new gas tank, got there and it was dented and rusty inside, man was I pissed.

I was thinking something more like ........

My advice is to not rush into getting the logo. A lot of that happened recently. For now, get general ideas of what people like, along with several good ideas, then let Sal work up a few candidates. There's a lot of things that "make" a good logo when cut in vinyl, and a lot of cool looking printable graphics don't necessarily qualify to make a cut logo. Once he's come up with a few, then put them up for a vote. If you don't, more than likely you'll end up voting one in, then a few weeks later somebody will come up with a really kick-ass logo. Just my opinion.

well put....

well looks like we have a pretty def decision... don't know even if we should revote on this....

I did not vote yet, but my only question concerning the leading logo is how will a design like that work with vinyl stickers?

Taking a second look it is very detailed and the multicolor part is going to be a problem... I was trying to stick with a single color to print..... It may look good on a screen but when time comes to make them I hope hey are not too detailed.... Lee any input on how you might be able to change that around? All I can do is email the file to him and have him print out a test copy and see what it looks like.

If anyone is curious the winning design in a solid 1 color vinyl die cut decal will look very similar to this. If i can help with anything nos please let me know? :thumbup

Hey sal... Nice work... Any way to clean up the "R1" on the bottom? Or will it clean up with a bigger vinyl?

Sure thing man. It can al be cleaned up. I just did a quick one so you guys would get an idea. :secret:Here it is with the R1 cleaned up.:thumbup

Sure thing man. It can al be cleaned up. I just did a quick one so you guys would get an idea. :secret:Here it is with the R1 cleaned up.:thumbup Looks good to me, need to put the aces back into the other 2 cards on his hat then it will be close to being ready for a test print.

Looks good to me, need to put the aces back into the other 2 cards on his hat then it will be close to being ready for a test print. It needs a little more work! If its OK with you guys i additionally suggest changing the font on the top & bottom. If you guys decide to go with die cut decals for longevity sake its best to use a bolder font so there is that much more vinyl to adhere to what ever surface the decal is placed on.

Sal.. looks great!

Ok so I think its a pretty simple decision on the graphic...shal I go ahead and get some test prints made up as long as everyone is happy with it? I think I'm going to get the squadron motto printed out for my jeep and Bike as well:lol

Make mine in yellow and I'll rock it on the Ram!

will do... once I get some tests prints I'll open up a thread so everyone can put in their orders and colors.

I saw a bitchin belt buckle that is damn close to the logo up in estes... just sayin :secret:

ok sent the graphic out and he will have some test prints up this weekend, everyone cool with it as a final or shal we do another vote, I will open up another thread for orders and stuff after we get a final logo decided, Going to have my buddy make them up but if you want any custom ones done hit up sal, he's the vinyl man..... We gotta all meet up here soon, weather was nice today!

We gotta all meet up here soon, weather was nice today! We should try and do a bbq one of these weekends or maybe even a Fri night, maybe meet up around 6 ride for a couple then end with some brats and beer (polish for you nic). I think that since the majority of squadron members live in the springs we should do it here if anyone is willing to open there home up to a bunch of dirty nasty biker types.

Hey man we got 2 houses up here open for a bbq....mine.... and I think Lees' if he is still up for it, however his is an hour past mine, either way I'm game for either situation. If we do it at my house I have a local LQ that has some of the finest Polish beer out there, and anything else:lol I hope I can swing by this next week and get the test prints from him..... I will not be able to get there till Thurs of next week however with work and school finals, and this race this weekend, but I promise to have them up and on the jeep next week in red, I'll sport some yellow one's on the race bike and then we can go from there if any adjustments need to be made.....

I have 9 other vinyl prints going on my bike next week to finish her out now that I've got the yellow scheme. I'm eager to see the rough drafts so I can plot out where the rest of the vinyl will sit on the bike. Man...my baby is looking so beautiful this year. I almost don't want to ride her for fear she'll get a scratch on her. ...well, almost.

Ok guys I just got off the phone with him and will be picking up my 6x6 test prints, he said once they came out of the printer the 3x3 were too detailed, he is going to give a 4x4 a shot tonight.... any opinions on size...beeing too big for you guys?

Just has to fit on the wind screen buddy.

doesn't matter to me...I'll have to hold off on buying it as i'm gonna be in Afghanistan in the near future

Nick...can you take a pic and load it to the thread? I'm curious what the rough draft looks like in one solid color.

Will do not picking them up till the end of the week..... I'll get em up asap once I have my hands on them..... school is killing me and thurs I am finally done... so after that I can look forward to free time and good ol work finally making some money again!

hey im down for a BBQ, my only limitation though is i gotta do it on sundays. fridays and saturdays are busy days at the dealership

FELLAS!!!! I have the decals done.... finally..... I know it took me a long time to get my shit together, I'm going to go put one on the jeep now, smallest we could go was 6x6 on a die cut machine due to detail, it just munched the vinyl where the skulls teeth were when we went smaller.... Sal was right on that aspect. I can have them printed on a laser jet vinyl printer down to 4x4 if need be but they will be a bit more expensive. Let me know what yall wanna do, I'm going to rock one under my tail and on my mid in black, after I get all my other squid stickers removed, it will fit fine on the windscreen, just take up a good portion of it :lol I need to start getting an order together for colors and quantity so lets get this rolling now since my slow ass finally got it together I do apologize for the delay....... finals, work, and racing has made my time disappear, I have not even been on an enjoyable ride in the last month, only been for commuting and parts chasing on the jeep heap. I'll get pics up here soon when I get back with a camera, or just look at the rear window of a red smoking Jeep on the highway in the springs or between there and denver.... it will look like its on fire from the blowoff.....:hammer

I was open minded at first, but now am leaning toward the 4"x4" vinyl. My current vinyl package is 4"x4" and 7"x7". The 6"x6" will be amongst the biggest on my bike, which will dilute the nickname I have sitting on the bike. Idealy, I would love to have 5"x5", making it larger than my Pirelli stickers and Tuning Forks, but smaller than my nickname. If you can do 5"x5", I would like that even greater. But of the two choices offered, I'd lean to the smaller 4"x4". And yes, it has to be highlighter yellow! Let me know the cost, and I can send you some cha-ching via PayPal.

Chris, I left him a message this evening to see what the cost will be off a printer, not a cutter, I know Sal can have them done asap, so if you want them now hit Sal up. Hopefully my guy will hit me up by tomorrow for the smaller prints. Highlighter yellow... is there a vinyl code/product number for that? :lol I want to make sure you will get your color, might be easiest to get the fellow doing your vinyl right now to just whip one up the size and color from the digital file we have up a couple pages back. Give me a ring if need be man, miss you guys and want to go for another "stiletto" ride

...miss you guys and want to go for another "stiletto" ride Haha...yeah, done a couple to Canon City already. It is so much fun watching others stare! As for the vinyl, I fell in love with a color at the Sign Shop, and just bought the whole roll. I have no clue of the color detail behind it. The best I can think is send you a piece of the vinyl for your local guy to match it. It will be away from other yellow on the bike, so if it is close in color, it should be fine. If you want me to send you a sample, PM me your mailing address, and I'll get it in the mail immediately. Let me know.

Here are the first prints on the jeep...sorry about the flash it was about 845 when I took the pics on a shitty camera, they are 6x6, still waiting to hear from my man for printing smaller.... I will be putting some on the race bike and street bike, so I need orders of colors from yall, honestly I found black to look the best with the print

I beleive that forum rules say that squadron logos are supposed to havw R1 forum.com on them, I think Dab posted that on a previuos post. If we do the 4X4 off a printer then we can have full color right?

dammit....well where can we add that... I was not aware of this, i thought it was only the the squadron logo and the title name

dammit....well where can we add that... I was not aware of this, i thought it was only the the squadron logo and the title name It is one of your posts on the first page. My suggestion was to put R1-Forum.com inplace of R1-017.

ok well I'll have to have that changed, I'll check with Dan first and see,

I think I saw that too while lurking in one of the other Squad forums. I'd like to see it anyways simply to shoot down the squids riding the Gixxer 6's.

It is one of your posts on the first page. My suggestion was to put R1-Forum.com inplace of R1-017. That is a good suggestion. ok well I'll have to have that changed, I'll check with Dan first and see, Replied to your PM. We'd like to keep the logos all having the R1-Forum.com in them, since the R1-017 designation does not have it. Logo looks good :thumbup

well I'm going to get in touch with Sal and see what he can do....

well I'm going to get in touch with Sal and see what he can do.... You should be good. He can pretty much do anything.

Nick, With this delay, once the design has been finalized, can you send me the file so I can get the vinyl cut here in the Springs? If not, I'll roll up to Boulder one day to pick it up from you, or maybe meet you trackside if you're hitting PMI.

That is fine, I just took the file posted on the forum and sent it through email to my buddy. I'm living in Denver now but I have not heard back from Sal yet,

No worries...I just want to feel like part of the group. I'm compensating for my small penis, so every piece of vinyl helps.
