Snowman Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 So, I spent a couple minutes working on a potential sticker design for the Subaru Klub of Alaska (SKA), and thar she blows. I was thinking about adding a stripe of old-school ska checkerboard somewhere, but thought that might be too much. I also decided against putting much more into the design, as that would likely make it too specific to a certain group of subaru people, which is contradictory to the all-inclusive nature of the organization. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 How would it look if you put the s at 10 o'clock, the k at 2 o'clock, and the a at 6 o'clock (around the Subaru badge) with the name at the bottom? Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Brando Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I'd like to see both versions before deciding, but I agree simple is best. How about having both white on a clear background or black on a clear background for stickers? Should be good for at least 25 HP.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Finally got around to making up the second logo idea, which is pretty close to the first: I personally prefer the first logo design for two reasons. First, since not a terrible lot of people even know what SKA music is, they wouldn't necessarily figure it out with the letters spaced like that. Second, I think the first logo is more cohesive and visually appealing. If you've got any more suggestions for either modifying this logo or a completely different one, let me know as I've got a bit of time on my hands and can play with it right now. Oh, and yes I think we should definitely consider white or black on a clear background, but that could be done easily by the printer (just cut it the other way around) and not as easily by me on the computer. Also, if you're interested, please start sending your contact info to subaruklubofalaska@hotmail.com. So far I have gotten one message.

northguy Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Either one is fine, Kelly. Whatever you prefer. Do you need info from me for membership, or do you have enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Brando Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I think I like the first one better as well. But how about putting the SKA in an arc across the top above the Subaru logo, keep the "Subaru Klub of Alaska" underneath the logo like it is. I think that arrangement would allow for an almost completely square sticker (if that's what you want). But then again, what do I know? I'm not a graphics design person. Any thoughts about putting up a separate web page for the Klub? Maybe just something with a few pictures and/or contact info for people traveling? Dates/places for any meets we might want to try to set up? Just throwing out a few ideas here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hmmm.....I think I'll contact Mick and show him the first sticker design to see if he thinks it's "printable" and maybe get some preliminary prices. I like the web page idea. I used to have a geocities page on my car (probably still around somewhere). Any suggestions on free hosts that don't make the address really long and confusing? Maybe I'll contact the Hatch Patrol guys to see what they went through to get hatchpatrol.com. Matt, I think I've got all the info for you so no problem there. Everybody else, if you haven't sent your contact info, please do so. I know I'm kind of being lazy by saying this, but it's a heck of a lot easier and less time consuming to enter the info for, say, eight people at once than to do each person individually as they stream in.

Snowman Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 So I contacted Mick about doing up some stickers, and here's what he said: "Words/Logo: to be placed on exterior/interior (meaning no background) whatever it's placed on becomes the background) Words/Logo Cut-out with shaped background remaining. Letters would be whatever color surface they were applied to. Dual Layer: Cut out Shaped BackGrounds, and then cut words/log out of a different color, and apply them to shaped background for 2-color full decal. (most likely wouldn't last quite as long, and would be more expensive) I can order whatever colors desired basically....." So, tell us what you want. I was thinking either of the first two options would look pretty good. For colors, maybe white, black, and something close to the yellow color used in other Subaru stickers? Sizing of the stickers is also still up for grabs. If you want, we could do a large and a small size, or just one medium sized one. I was thinking about 4" high would look good. What do you think? My initial thought is to come up with two or three designs/colors that people are interested in, then I would order about five of each. That way, after all currently interested people have the stickers they want, I could have some left over for new members and promotional stuff. Your input please. BTW: I think I'm going to talk to one of my more artistic friends and see if she could produce a banner/flag of some sort for the organization that would be a bit fancier than the stickers. Any suggestions would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Brando Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I like the first idea with the words/logo in black or white and the background clear. 4" size sounds good to me. If you are looking for orders, I would take one of each (one white lettering, and one black lettering). I'll re-send my contact info.

Snowman Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Okay, maybe we'll just go with black or white with clear background 4" high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
