I say run what ya brung my brotha

 

I spoke to a local sign shop today. I'll have pics up this afternoon or tomorrow when its done. If I don't like it, there won't be any pics as I'll just have them take it off.

It will be black and say "Daimler" on it, in the same style as the old Daimler logo.

Check it out:

These are the matching valve caps. But the badge will look similar.

 

What about D. Chrysler. I think it give it a little more of a area 51 project you know. You know like Property of the US Government style. I'm seeing 1950's sci-fi movie. It would work nicely with the car already retro sleek design.

 

Since 99% of the "OTHER" folks don't know what kind of car we drive.................
We can tell them it's a Damlier................
I can hear it now..................
Geesh, I never heard of one of them before..........

 

It would look better as DC/Xfre. Or Xfire.

Damlier and Jaguar were also partners .Maybe put DamCatbenz.

Just...DCXFIRE

 

I think that maybe a little to much Dan. I think if it's going to be done, its going to havr to be really stupid simple. I don't mean stupid literally. To the Avg. Joe they might look at the car, and say it's plane. However to the person who has that refind eye for detail would totally go nuts. I know what I'm looking for is that one good word. The one were all you have to do to get your point across, is say that word, and even the 10yr old little boy understands what your talking about. Like if you said Ferrari, I'm almost positive everyone has the same perception of Ferrari having some of the most beautiful high performance vehicalsl on the planet. I want our cars to have that same synonymity.

 

Anyway my update this morning is that the sign guy wanted me to do at least a run of 50. I know there are places around here who will do it this small I just have to find one.

Anyway I think Daimler in silver on black, on my black xfire, would look hot.

Daimler fits perfectly too. Chrysler was bought out by Daimler Benz, creating one company, Daimler Chrysler. They call it a Crossfire for reasons we all know. They could just as easily call this car a Benz instead of a Chrysler. Either way its a Daimler.

The great thing about this whole idea is that it's easy for any one of us, to just create a customized vinyl sticker. If you don't like Daimler, find a shop near you and have them make you your own.

 

Nevermind. I am not going to be doing this. It's too much of a hassle. No shop wants to spend time custom designing two tiny little stickers. I'll stick with my gold badges for now.

 

today...i just dropped off my computerized renderings and ideas to one of the local sign/graphic companies...they are going to do "thermal imaging" versus a vinyl graphic. i will keep you posted on cost and the end result.

 

Thermal meaning, like when you heat it up it will stick pretty much permanently. When you want it off you have to use a solvent?

 

I'll take four sets !

 

nope...adheres just like a vinyl graphic...but actually means....

the image is multicolored but with one layered dimension.

if vinyl was use and you decided on a border or any additional colors...the vinyl would be stacked on top of one another....yuck. i am looking for a better end result...the sign company suggested thermal imaging to meet my needs and wants.

i'll keep you posted.

 

Right,....So its Thermo-film. I used to work with that stuff, when I used to design baseball uniforms for Colleges. Its cool sh**, but can be expensive depending on how many colors incorporated into it.

 

i met with the graphics company today to see a proof...a few more tweeks. i hope to have something in final draft within a week or so.

 

Right on, I've been working on something with Diamler, as opposed to Crossfire, or Chrysler.

 

I know I'm new and every thing, but I like the first one. And if their is going to be a club you can count me in...I feel in love with mine the first time I saw her. I have had mine over a year and still get looks. My E-Mail is Worldvision@eezznet.com Holla at me....
