STHLM Graffiti, FTW. Found it !

OK, in honor of Kev, borrowing from his design and altering a bit.
This is just a "safe" (yet, youthful) approach.

IF...

If there is any interest in this basic version, then there are easy additives:

Each shirt, as I understand it, can have a back. BTW, 10 inches is the limit (don't need any female comments here) that can be submitted. It doesn't HAVE to have a back, but it can for the same cost, as my quick reading revealed.

So, before I go further with variations of this...

Oh, never mind...people will never agreee.

This will be uploaded with a "front only" option. Other variations can include, in my opinion of acceptable "back" remarks:

(1) Tighter than your little sister.

(comment: while it might be quite intriguing for someone to read that phrase on your back and wonder what might be on the front of the shirt...

a score for AW, it might be a bit weird wondering how many people never saw the front and wondered "if you really WERE tighter than their little sister".)

(2) A car. A forum. A family.

(comment: Unlike the above, this could invite curiosity. We DO want to advertise as well, right? And less likely to have the same effect as above)

Anyway, here is "Kev Design - Alteration ONE":

PS: This is made for BLACK t-shirt.

Ready for my reply . . .

Love the Acura logo in the background! Excellent with the AW.COM under the logo.

Acuraworld is too ricey for my old age taste!

Just my opinion.!

*duckdog* · 09-20-08, 05:42 PM

Chuck, that is pretty awesome. I personally still don't like the graffiti font, but on a t-shirt that will be incredible.

Would it be possible to post up an image, or pm it, that has the *A* logo without the red script? That would make a great window sticker.

Slynky · 09-20-08, 05:55 PM

Thanks for the interest.

As I tried to note, this was based on Kev's draft which I thought had merits and that some people liked. Well, not Greg... (

) but still, to honor his efforts and in case it appeals to the more youthful...

John, if I understand your comment, you like it except for the "Acuraworld" font.

Daveduck, if I understand, losing the red "Acuraworld" lettering and keeping the emblem and curved lettering underneath is an idea you like. I had planned on working on a decal separately. That's easy, of course. And, from what I understand, I can upload all sorts of designs to "my store" without any penalty. So, let's talk about decals in a concurrent thread.

Slynky · 09-20-08, 06:02 PM

Decals. I had thought about a circle or oval for a decal. This, of course, would only fnid its real place in the rear window. NOW, on an ROS, an oval (of sorts) would be nice fit. I don't know about other rear windows, though. The RSX rear window (not the hatch) is curved.

There is another place for a decal and that is at the bottom of the passenger or driver's window. In other words, straight, inch high (or so).

I would expect all to be in white but when the time comes, will check into all the options.

In short, without promises...if I can come up with a fairly generic decal that people can agree upon for the rear window curve (obviously, the straight one on the passenger or driver window is no concern), then they can send me a straight-on photo and I'll commute the dimensions to PS and make something that fits like a glove in the curvature. I'm thinnking about 4 (give or take) inches.

*Nikon1* · 09-20-08, 06:05 PM

No. Comment. On. the 4. or. so. inches!

*Nikon1* · 09-20-08, 06:05 PM

But I'm with Dave on the Window decal - that would be awesome!

Just my opinion.!

But, ricey-ness notwithstanding, we don't want stodgy, boring, just plain text shit, do we? I mean, it's an Acura! It stands for accuracy, technology, cutting edge, and KICK ASS !

Right, Chuck! The Acura World font is just a little too ricey for me. Really love the Acura logo with the Acuraworld.com though!

Nicely done!

That is exactly. Nice, simple design make the best stickers.

And you're absolutely right! Just, usually, lettering, and maybe (MAYBE) one other small graphic that doesn't subtract from the main reason for the decal.

Gonna tinker a bit more with a typeface (the correct term) for this initial design.

*duckdog* · 09-20-08, 06:14 PM

Awesome, Chuck!!!
