Attn Members/Owners
 

All righty, I'm down for putting a small sticker on my car representing ProtegeClub....

That way when people stop and look at my car, they'd be like Wow, that guy's got it goiing on, wonder where he got all that cool stuff and ideas from, and then they'll see the website name and log on........ now I just gotta work on my car hehe, but that's after the sticker ;)

So can people start putting up suggestions for the sticker (don't copy ProtegeTech one!), and then maybe we could submit them to mazdaspeedwest since he's got ways to make them as far as I remember, and he can provide us copies cheap :)

Another thing for this board that I suggested a while ago, and would be even better now that we've got tons of members....
Let's make a bigggg map on which it shows with little dots or whatever where every owner is, or maybe a list, or whatever, so when you're bored, or organizing a meet in your area, you can look up ex. Vancouver, wow, there's 33 members from here? Didn't know, better let all of them know about this, that, etc.

Follow up people, and especially the guy that runs this board if this is possible, and also about the stickers

i was too lazy to start a new thread about this :D but, it's a good idea. i'd still put one on the rear windshield. one that covered atleast 3/4 of it, but was only 2 inches thick or something. :\

YAY! i have been waiting for someone to bring this back alive.

I'd be happy to make the decals.

These are 2 i made up awhile ago from the other thread. I will also make up a few with the, ahem..toilet seat logo for those of you who like that better. Colors are pretty much up to you.

Decal#1: large logo

Decal #2: Small logo

Personally.....I like the smaller of the two....and would really like if it the background of the sticker was CLEAR....and the lettering/logo were white.... that BE my vote...if we were taking one. :bt:

i like number 2, put it on hte back windows

How about a magnet instead
 

The sticker Idea is way cool, but I am definately adverse to putting adhesives on the car... A lot of people are going with soft magnets these days. They're solid, don't come off at 120 MPH, and don't scratch your car. About the only problem with the magnet is that you can't put it on the window, and you're still going to get a spot from the rest of your paint fading around it.

I like the 2nd one also, preferably with clear background and white/gray lettering. See if you can use the font (or similar) from the Protege5 /new Protege badges.

Instead of using adhesive, maybe use static cling vinyl like the ones dealers put on your windshield after an oil change?

i say clear background with white sticker

i think
 

i donk know. all cars has differents colored details
i was thinking about yellow sticker whit clear background but everybody thinks differents, need to be only one color?
:confused: :confused:

Yellow, white, black, red... If it's only one color, we can't all be happy.

I think we should go for a silver/chrome color that very closely matches the pieces that Mazda puts on the car from the factory... that way no matter whose car it's on, it'll look sharp.

I like the idea of an inside window cling... like the ones that they stick to the inside of the windows at your favorite fast food chain (just not near as big).

reminds me, when I was in college we swiped a huge 99 cent Whopper cling and we had it on the window of our dorm room for the entire year... (we had the stop signs, parking booth arms, and blinking yellow crosswalk signs on the inside inside of our room).

Why not just do a vinyl ctout? All the letters are individual and such, and you can get basically any color you want. My club went through http://www.viggdesigns.com, who does a lot of work for Neons. He did a great job. Cost me a dollar a sticker to get printed.

Looks like a nice shop, question is, do they sell static cling vinyls instead of adhesive ones? I don't see them advertise that on their site... The general consensus here is using a medium that doesn't use adhesives...

I honestly don't know. But how committed to your club are you if you won't put a simple little sticker on your car??? ;-). Besides if you don't like it, all you need is a razor!

I like the inside-the-window clingy idea so it doesn't get screwed up by the weather, and you can remove it.

lol...i second that..

keep in mind, most of us have tinted windows. you wouldnt be able to see the window cling if it were inside. i'm down for adhesive. it's only on the window... like someone stated, if you dont like it, all you need is a razor.

I only meant normal vinyl stickers, and all of them would have a CLEAR background.....

As for colours, I'm pretty sure that we can pick whatever colour we want up to a certain limit....... maybe these .... yellow/gray(or silver)/black/white/red ........

Mazdaspeed, I like your second idea......

OH YEA I FORGOT ABOUT WINDOW TINT:confused: ..a sticker would not be that bad on the widows i guess

I still think a window cling is more versatile, you can move it around whenever/wherever you want. Doubt you can do that with the adhesive vinyl. Plus I think if we choose a light color for the graphics it'll easily show through tints (unless you got limo 5% tints)...

Looks like we need to do a poll, see what the majority of people prefer!

just had to do this....I also liked the idea of different colors...but still like the idea of clear backgrounds...so I whipped these out so you can all get a better idea.

isn't photoshop wonderful!! :bt:

The white one, that'll work for everybody.

What i am offering are vinyl cut decals...no backgrounds. I have chrome, so if thats what you guys want, thats cool.

As for the static cling, yes good idea for those who don't want exterior decals, but it won't take long for the edges to curl up (especially in the heat of a parkinglot) and that fact most ppl have tinted windows.

I'll let you guys vote, battle, dual, joist, whatever...as to what the decal should be, afterall, i can make whatever i want anyway :D

Sir Nuke has the best one I've seen so far. Well, most practical IMO. Rjakobs, yours look pretty tight, but for a window sticker, i'd go with Nuke's. Darryl, if you make Nuke's... in white, covers atleast 3/4's the rear window but not too tall maybe 2-3 inches, i'll buy it now.

Come to think of it though.. Rjakobs... if we ever made a flier for the protege sites... that should be the logo on it to represent protegeclub. We need to hook up with Hunter and all the big Protege sites/forums, and get a damn flier goin too.

the ones Rjakobs made look really good........I would pick one of those mainly because they seem original and they don't have the flying M mazda logo that many don't like.......

i like those as well, but instead of spelling out the "dot com" i vote for making it ".com"

I agree.......:bt:

We just have to make the dot visible then....

And I like it better too since some have complained about the mazda symbol not being the toilet bowl looking one haha (speedwest, that was funny :laugh: )
