Let?s talk T shirts and stickers one more time!
About the time we changed the name of the site to KXRiders.com I was working with one of our members on the T shirt and sticker project. He was the one that came up with the current Logo that we now use on the home page. I ask him redo the logo without the shadow print, because it did not lend it self to the silk screening process. He also was going to give me a large graphic version of the logo so it could be used in stickers. I never heard from again, and I later found out that he had died!
So shall we start again? I need someone that can reproduce the logo in hi resolution without the shadow print. I just do not have the time to do the art work my self at this time. If some one would like to take on the project I will go forward with the shirts and stickers!
The shirts are always a problem when we bring them up, because everyone always wants a different color, style, material Etc. I have to tell you it?s one color WHITE ? 100% COTTON ? T SHIRT if we get that far this time! If some one wants something different they can do it themselves. When you change the shirt color you also have to change the Logo color and that gets really expensive. Back when I thought we were really close to finishing this project I had the local Kawie dealer willing to sell the shirts and give away stickers with his KX sales to help promote the site.
So, anyone need a project? :roll: :roll: :roll: :-D

Dang, he died? That is sad to hear anytime. Alan, I would be interested in making up a logo or two if there is no-one else on the job. If so, in a week I should be able to post something to look at. Let me know and I will get on it. Is there a look we are going for? The silk screen is going to be one color? Standard white t-shirt with small logo on front and large on back? Same for a tank top?

How about this for a T.
-
How about this for left breast where pocket would be.

Yes this is the image I a had in mind for the back of the shirt! However the resolution is not hi enough and secondly " What a KX leaves behind" will not silk screen nor will the bike pic.

The front needs to be this image if we want to build KX as the theme for the site not just KX5. We need this image, however again it is extremely low resolution and show print will not work.

David, this is the format I have in mind! Nice and clean inexpensive to have make! From Kawieriders.com
"Quad Site"

That looks great. I'll have to loose 30 lbs. to fit in the shirt you are showing.
Hmmm, might be a good idea for me to loose 30 lbs.

That logo would make a good sticker.
-
How big does it need to be Alan?
-
I think it would be cool if we had 2 different stickers, one would be in a positive for bikes etc., maybe 4 to 6". The second would be for inside windows, like see through, maybe up to the size of a bumper sticker. I would like to have one on my rear truck window. The window sticker could be just the text, KXRiders.com!
Shirt sizes go from Small to 3XL David, so I am sure we have you covered! He He!
Paul, any idea what font the text is in the Logo?
:-D :-D

This font? Thats Forte'

1. 8" x 3" sticker on white
2. 8" x 3" sticker green on white
3. 24" x 6" sticker black/green on white (also have white on transparent for truck back windows)
-
The middle one would make a good fender sticker too. :mrgreen:
-
Here is major problem with our Logo, this image is worthless crap! We have to find the original or something similar that will work!
-
I love this pic, but it is also a problem for the shirts if we go silk screening process!
-
One more thing we need to stick to simple print like this, not shadow embossed etc.
-
Fair enough, I thought stickers had been mentioned :D
-
In that case, we should tone down the green. It's hurts the eyes without the shadow in there :D :D

Your funny Paul! The greenalways hurts your eyes! He He!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't get me wrong I want to do all three! Shirts and 2 kinds of stickers.
We just need to solve the graphic problems and come to an agreement on the design.
I will go over to the print and T Shirt place next Wednsday afternoon if we can get it together!
:-D :-D :-D :-D
-
I have been doing more checking and we may be able to do more compicated graphics, however the resolution and quality must be there!
Paul, how about using one of Destry's pic's on the back of the T Shirts, if we can go photo quality? :-D :-D :-D
-
I'll call him and ask, I'm on my way out the door to go to work so it won't be until tomorrow.
-
I like that idea. Get some pricing and we'll get a list of name of people who will commit.

cool,im looking forward to wearing the green with pride 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
-
Here are some pic's I have been looking at for the back of the shirt. One of the would replace the existing web front page as the framed Devastation pic and also the Tshirt back in 4 color on white shirt.
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
-
That middle one is pretty wicked!
-
That middle one is pretty wicked!
Yep. I'll see what I can do with that one later tonight.

That one is from a kawie brochure! I like the third a little better. :-D
-
Hmmm, that bottom picture looks faked or something. Doesn't look right.

It needs to be croped a bit.
-
Paul, do you have a larger version of the last pic?
Just playing around!! :-D :-D
-
No, thats as big as I've got. I wonder if the local Kawi dealer would have anything we could use?
-
The last pic is a scan from kawie, that may be a way to go.
-
That thing just looks faked though ;D
-
It just looks very bad ass with the guy standing on the pegs with monster roost. That looks devastating with all the rocks and chunks. My oppinion though. :-) 1 out of a few billion. :-)
-
Is there any news on T Shirts at all ???????????? :? :?
-
Yep I am waiting for several people to get back with me on pic's the promised! :oops: :oops:
-
Great..My money is waiting to cross the pond your way.... :-D :-D
-
Yep I like the middle one also! If you guys want stickers first we can go for it!
Do we want Bumper stickers or bike stickers or inside reversed letter stickers (like for the inside of a back window) or all three?
So if you all can decide which kind of stickers you want to have I will go forward with the project!
The update on the T shirts is, I am willing to drop $500 to $600 dollars in the project when we have good hi resolution artwork and not before! :-) :-)
-
Isn't there one of the members on this site in the graphics business? May be we could have them make the stickers or decals. :-D
-
So does everyone like this one for the stickers and the front of the t shirt?
-
I have a friend who owns Precision Graphics in Calgary Alberta Canada. he would most likley be up to it.
How many posts do I need Before I can send pics of my beast with new home made spacer etc.
-
Explosive :-D

Alan, Be like Nike "Just do It". If you wait for a unanimous vote we might be waiting forever.

Demo the explosive one is a boomer! :-D

Alan,
I might be able to get a good deal from Fast Signs for the stickers because we get all of our patrol vehicles striped through them. If you ever decide on a design let me know.
