Gerry Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Following on from a couple of threads (see http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=142771 ) regarding a number plate size "Forum Name plate", there seems to be some interest. I've PM'd Mawby for the details on getting a "group buy" going, but for now, here's a mock-up that http://www.craigsplates.co.uk have done for me. This is their first attempt and I would alter a couple of things: 1, make the real name and mkivsupra.net the same font & size. 2, make the Toyota symbol in the centre a bit more faded. They can do it on a vast range of sizes, but we are looking at about £10.00 - £14.00 a plate for standard sizes. Postage will be on top, but I would be pleased to deliver them fre at Japfest etc. The idea is that we either pop it over the front number plate or pop it in a window at meets. Just looking for some feedback at the mo. I'm not sure yet if it would be better to order through me, or order direct from them quoting the Club name. COPY OF THEIR LETTER TO ME: Hi Gerry Please find attached some artwork I have played around with, starting from your image and then building it up. I've tried to keep the club colours and haven't over complicated it as per your instruction. Normally we don't do this service for free, but that's the perk of owning a Jap car, you keep in with the office manager lol!!! Prices will depend on quanity: 1-5 ~ £10.00 per oblong, £14.00 for any other stock size plate. This includes VAT but not postage. 6 - 20 ~ above price less 50p each plate 21+ ~ above price less £1.00 each plate I look forward to hearing from you. It obviously goes without saying this proof remains the intellectual property of Craigsplates.com Ltd until you purchase from us All the best Karen Office Manager What do ya think....

What do people think about sticking as closely as we can to the original forum name font (the one above our avetar) for the plate forum name ?

ivan Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I too think the CraigsPlates one is a bit too fussy Gerry. It needs to be simpler IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMiFFAD Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 how about something simpler.... (depends how they make them - this wont work so well if its cut vinyl, would print well though) Another one attache easy in vinyl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 how about something simpler.... (depends how they make them - this wont work so well if its cut vinyl, would print well though) Simples good - I tend to agree. Which plate designer did you use to do this one ?

Gerry Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Me Im a bored at work graphic designer In that case, how about working on a Twin Turbo logo that matches the Supra logo - that can be turned into a car badge ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
