Post by: 88turbo on January 09, 2006, 08:41:06 PM
has anyone had an idea of making decals to help get the word out about us?  I'd happily put one on my car.

Sounds like a nice idea for those who are inclined to do it. I'm not one of them, but it's nothing against the forum. I just don't like putting outwardly visible stickers on cars anymore. Took off the three my uncle had put on the truck, and haven't put any on my cars for years.

I think there is a shop here in town that makes these decals if you bring in an image.  any ideas?  I could get a few made.

I know there's a guy that does up signs locally - he made my "Just4Kixx" front plate and my "www.foxthundercats.com" rear window decal. If there really was an interest in such a thing I could look into getting something made up...

If any of you are averse to placing decals on painted surfaces (which I am), you could always opt for side/rear glass.
Here's my car with its advertisp00get for TCCoA on the quarter window.

I would be more than willing to drum up some ideas in photoshop. That is, if Eric, Baxo, or anybody else doesn't have the time.

Post by: kewlbird08 on January 10, 2006, 01:24:38 PM
thats what i was thinking--a rear side glass logo.  or what do you guys think about a windshield banner?  i think i'd do one of those, but definitely not on a painted surface.  a little too ricey for me.

I'll see what I can find out, it may take a few weeks 'cuz the guy that makes 'em goes to different flea markets on Sundays and I'd have to hit the flea market that he happened to be in...

Chalk up another vote for the side window idea.  If they were available, I'd proudly display it on my car.
Title: Forum decals
Post by: Blackout on January 11, 2006, 04:52:39 AM
Side window.  I got some nice 2.3 Turbocharged logos for the car made at a local place called Sign-11, so If you guys have a design, I can have one made as a demo, put it on my car, and then you guys can see how it looks.  Then if we get together an order thread, we can do it like that.  I'll do  this at no profit to me, just the price of stamps and the price of the decal itself.  Probly wont be more than 5 bucks total a piece, and thats a high estimate.

this thing doesn't have to be really complicated either, but it needs to have the site name on it, obviously. which could pose a problem since its so long.

The sticker thing is a great idea. I'd have to put it on the rear since my sides are occupied by the coolcats decal.
I'll see if I can come up with anything when I get home tonight.
Title: Forum decals
Post by: CougarSE on January 11, 2006, 04:35:59 PM
If I were to put one on my car, wich i'm drooling for one!! It would have to match the Cool Cats sticker on there now..... Oh and Quarter windows are the only thing for club stickers for me.
 
Kewlbird i like that
 
But zack yours is a little to sqiggly for me..

How about a mix of static-cling stickers for inside mounting, and adhesive-backed stickers for outside mounting for those who have tint?

that would be sweet if it was a clear background/static stick decal for the inside of the window. i like the script from a few posts ago (cougarcrager) a little better though

Not to steal an idea from 88turbo. But I changed it up a little.

Also this is the tattoo I would like to get. The Cougar head and the Bird wings.

I thought it would be better to keep the logo's original to keep people from thinking that there might actually of been a thundercat.

The one I made would fit a little better as a banner for the windshield though.

I kind of like slamedcat's logo mixed with 88turbo's font.
As long as it's okay with Carmen though seeing as the mixed logo is basically the same as the one he made.

Okay, maybe I'm jumping the gun here, but how about making business cards to keep in the glove box should someone spot a fox car in a parking lot?  I hate to be a spammer, but really, it's for the owners good.  . 

I like the sepearate decals, then I can trim off the cougar part :p :giggle:

I have no problem with it, seeing as I simply made the logo from a Cougar head and Thunderbird wings, so I could by no means claim it's an original...

Y'all gotta remember that adding logos will increase the complexity and therefore the price to have vinyl decals made. I'm pretty sure the thing would have to be done in a "vector" format to make it compatible with the cutter...

I leave a note whenever I see a Fox Cougar around here.  Needless to say, I have left about 4 notes over the past three years.


I would like to get one of those static cling stickers that read:

Follow Me to Cat Jam
[size=-2]Youngstown, OH[/size]

to put on during the trip out to Cat Jam every year.

No one is likely to follow but if our little MD convoy happens to pass someone who likes Cougars, they might notice and later do a search for "Cat Jam" next time they are on the Internet.

If they see the windshield on any of my cats, they would see "Cool Cats" but people notice the rear and sides with more ease than they do the front when driving on the road.
