if you want me to do any design work, im quite handy! ;)

If you have any ideas for a sticker design then we would love to hear them, the current idea is based around the text: - Mk5GolfGTI.co.uk
(as used on the current forum header) with the main text in a silver reflective/shiney material (like the Club GTI one from Greenouse's car below) and the GTI part in solid gloss red.

ye just like that. i think it sets them apart from the other forum stickers that are usually just the url of the website. its a bit different and looks better in my opinion

Do you mean like the site name name text  with .co.uk on the end (Mk5GolfGTI.co.uk).

If so that the style we are going for but have some options on the colours and material.

Thats got to be quote of the week already and its only Monday. " a bit kitchen fridge."  :laugh:
Yes it has been noted that the lettering needs working on thats what Steve was attaining to above, the problems Steve is having is getting a company to make them in a small enough amount for the right price.
But if you have any other ideas on design or were to get them at a reasonable cost then let us know.  :smiley: :happy2:
Title: Re: Are we making any mk5golfgti.co.uk stickers....?

Y not have a company just sell them online to us so they can be printed off when people want them :happy2:

Post by: SteveP on December 15, 2008, 11:01:59 am
^^^ That's an option we are considering but TBH I would prefer if we control to supply of the stickers ourselves and it provides (as we grow) a route of potentially raising some funds to cover the running costs of the site.

I like the idea of have options on the stickers but to start with believe the best thing is to have is a simple sticker with just the site name to help promote it a bit more.

any thoughts?
Title: Re: Are we making any mk5golfgti.co.uk stickers....?
Post by: JPC on December 15, 2008, 11:59:25 am
i think what would be really cool is for the MK5Golf and .co.uk to be chrome with a red stroke and the GTI to be red with a chrome stroke! ;)

Post by: SteveP on December 15, 2008, 01:09:23 pm
I like the idea jay and think that type of design does look smart but my guess would that the costs would me too high for the kind of thing I think people are looking for.
Title: Re: Are we making any mk5golfgti.co.uk stickers....?

^^ Sure, it would be good to see how it would turn out, quite a few other forums have various stickier designs so I am not ruling out the option to expand the choices in future  :happy2:

Just want to get us up and running with something now, and the silver and red desgin based on the current forum logo header text is the most logical choice  :smiley:

Post by: john_o on December 15, 2008, 01:56:23 pm
looks good  :happy2:
For me I would make the font silver, and I assume its a transparent background ? (or just the letters i.e. no background at all)
Title: Re: Are we making any mk5golfgti.co.uk stickers....?
Post by: cmdrfire on December 18, 2008, 12:19:48 am
How about doing the "Mk5Golf" bit in white in the German pressed-plate style, GTI in red in the current GTI font?

Hello Steve

 :rolleye:

I can knock something up... I had an idea though of my own... There is a user on UKmk's which in his sig has a embossed pic of the front of a gti. I cant find it right now but its really cool and I know how to do it.

So we have that on the left hand side with the forums web address as shown above. Everything except the GTI in white and the words "GTI" in GTi red.

Oh and a transparent background. So its text only and the lil pic of the gti....

What you guys think?

You dont want to have more than two colours as the price emmediately shoots up. Ideally you want it to be noticeable and the the red offset of the "GTI" text will do that. The transparent background should leave a crisp and proffesional finish.

Hi Mike,

If you have some time then please mock something up  :happy2:

What ever design or design's we go with I want them to the be made to affix to the inside of the glass and be laser/die cut without the clear background.

Cheers,

Steve

Post by: 08micsta on December 19, 2008, 07:51:28 am
Yes yes

That I undestand. Else you everntually get bubbles under the transparent part. The sticker cut Im reffering to is similar to the lil sticker Audi Etc stick on your window saying what dealer your car was bought from. You know what I mean?

I see theres a section in the For Sale bit.
Can we have a products forum or page for related gear (only sticker for now) and make the sticker place more visible?
Also is the forum getting a % from sticker sales ?
Is this the official sticker supplier or are we just trying this one for a bit ?

cough just seen it .............duh  :rolleye:  :laugh:

^^^ Hi John_o,

There is currently a sticky in the main Mk5 Section for the stickers.

Yes Paul is our offically sticker supplier and we are getting something back on each one sold  :happy2:

In the future I will add a section on the main www.mk5golfgti.co.uk home page for merchandise
