CasopoliS Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Just got my decals in.... here are the details: Sizes I received (max dims): 3" high x 7" wide 5" high x 11" wide Both are not that big when put on the windshield / rear window Looking at the rendering below, on the decals I have: the blue is a transparent blue vinyl, and the black is a white vinyl. http://www.casopolis.com/images/CasopoliS_Design_vinyl_final.jpg Where should I put this? I don't really want it on the paint, I am thinking: 1. top middle rear window 2. top middle windshield 3. lower passenger-side rear window 4. lower passenger-side windshield I also have a bunch of my logos... in white and transparent blue, and many sizes.... I could also put these somewhere The "logo" is seen in the image below: http://www.casopolis.com/images/subaru_shift_AT_revA_iso.jpg I just want it to look the best. Your thoughts are appreciated!

bosco Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 all are decent choices but i think the windshield is the best. most cars you see or take pics of is a frontal to an off angle frontal view. max exposure. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached are 3 ideas. I like having it off to the side... I dunno why... just different. http://www.casopolis.com/images/decal_car_render_1.jpg http://www.casopolis.com/images/decal_car_render_2.jpg http://www.casopolis.com/images/decal_car_render_3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallispec Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 of those choices - I'd say passenger side, top of windsheild.... although i'd personally choose the back window over the front window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 The only thing I think looks weird is that it does not span the width of the windshield. It does not flow. It can always be removed.... but it would be nice to get it right first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasopoliS Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 well, I am somewhat undecided. My friends think 5" x 11" is too big, but the 3" one is tiny and you could barely read it in pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 If you put them anywhere where the wiper will touch it, they will not last that long. Specially true for the transparent blue since it is a thinner vinyl. If a lot of exposure is what you want you need to rethink the logo for a banner application. Move the blue logo to the left side, and instead of having the words on top of each other, have them in a straight line. *logo* CasopoliS Design I know, it breaks up the original design, but it will make for a nice windshield banner.

CasopoliS Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 hmmm not a bad idea. I would have to get used to a banner across the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMLegacy Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 The best way to figure out where you want it is to go to a sign shop and buy a couple of small pieces of clear static cling plastic (most shops will have some scraps they will let you have for free). This way you can put the sticker on it and move it around to see where you like it best. It also lets you see it without the paper background, so you can see what it will actually look like. If it were me, I would put it on the lower passenger side of the rear window, or one, or both, of the corner windows behind the rear doors.

CasopoliS Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 I did another crappy rendering here. It would have to stretch a little further and compress vertically, but you get the idea. Ignore the old decal in the lower left. http://www.casopolis.com/images/windshield_banner.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJack Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'd leave it off or jus go with the website small. I have a vinyl machine and i cut stickers and put them all on my beater truck. been fighting the urge to put some on my legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'd go with max advertising, same as post #12, but just your tint-area banner. And hey, are you going to offer some of the smaller ones for decal collectors like me? <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I say put the small logo on the left of the banner. Also leave off the website address at the bottom, and create a www. banner in just letters for your back windshield. I also think that silver would be a better color for the white letters.

That will cost you and addiditional $105:spin: on top of the $275 tint job. It took 4 years, but it will get you eventually! you know you would have to do the whole car, not just a strip Cas.
