Looks good Slim. I like the way you have presented the circuit too.

If you could do them as long sleeve t's in cotton guys could wear them while they are driving

+1 on long sleeves. What sort of cost you thinking?

[SilverRA23]

If you need a source for printing t-shirts, you can upload the design to www.redbubble.com.au

They can then print them for you. I am sure there are other t-shirt design websites that do a similar thing too.

Not sure whether they can cope with anything other than a print on the front and back, but its worth looking in to.

I've been speaking to a screen printer. They seem quite competitive on pricing. I was originally thinking long sleeve 100% cotton t-shirts with a print on the front, back and drivers side sleeve. There are a few variables that will influence cost (how many colors in the design, if we print on dark coloured shirts, quality of the shirts, quantity ordered), but the cost will most likely be $25-$35 bucks. I'll also get some caps done with embroided dragons. Once we have the design sorted we can work out the rest, but please speak up if you're keen. (You don't need to be a driver to buy a shirt - It'd be great if everyone associated with our teams were wearing them)

I just had a thought... if we do the design (like what you showed me) with the team name down the arm. I definitely think the text should be oriented on the driver's arm so that when photos are taken with you sitting in the car you can clearly read it if your arm is resting on the top of the door. Do you know what i mean?
Everything in graphic design should be done for a reason. eg: My mum's bookshop window design had the shop's name running from bottom to top because that is the way it would appear on the spine of a book.

I like the design and am definantly down for one.
Oh and Slims mum does have a great collection of classic books.... hustler, playboy, karmasutra ect ect

Yeah, one of them is your mum's biography. It's a pretty fat book. A big read.

She learnt from the best in the business (aka mrs slim) lol. Anyway back on track!

[twentyEight]

I found a t-shirt printer that will do them for about $12 or so a t-shirt a while back when I was looking for the band, I'll find the link tonight and send it to you Slim.

thats my friends your talking about!

[Slim]

More rough ideas...




Any suggestions/feedback?... from people other than Timbo.


Oh, and i hope Simon and Peter don't mind me defacing their cars. Sorry guys... but i needed some pics.

[SilverRA23]

I love the bonnet graphic. Does it work as well for cars that are colours other than red? or are you going to make it a red and white overlay? (which will be a bitch for the bloke stickering the car!)

On the side graphic what would it look like with the dragon in place of the "ten" logo and vice versa? the dragon says classic celica to me more than the ten logo

Could you manipulate the ten logo (which only means something to toyota people) and make it a tcc logo in a similar style (maybe the second c is facing down or something)

I like that you have used the font from the celica badge. really good!

[Slim]

I have never applied stickers to cars but i can imagine how much of a bitch that bonnet graphic might be.

I like the old Toyota logo. I'd rather not stuff around with it too much.

Suggestions noted...
