Vinyl stickers science :-)

Since the stickers are cut, there is no background. The characters are individual, but the stick-on procedure ensures proper alignment without much effort.

there are 2 tapes, first remove the backside
put the sticker on
and then carefully remove the tape on the other side
enjoy
show off :-)

[instructions in Swedish]

Things to consider during logo design for stickers:

the sticker is cut by an automated knife, so small letters or complicated shapes are hard. Hard = $$. For some reason, our vector files have many points (400 points ! A bit too many for 4 letters, maybe it's the result of some conversion issue).
Single color is much cheaper than multiple colors, but getting same sticker in multiple colors is no extra cost
Size is appr. 5" x 2"

VEMS text on the PCB

[Vector files]

I removed the spelling error "...managment ..." text from the logo, after converting pdf to postscript. The DXF was from line-segments instead of arcs, not really suitable.

I don't like this logo, it looks great on the PCB but as a sticker the gap between the V and the E looks huge. MS as in megasquirt also stands out and we really want to avoid that for a lot of reasons. I would NOT put this sticker on my car and I think that it will be hard to get any high profile cars to feature the sticker when we are ready to compete with the big brands. -JÃ¶rgen

New version of the logo from the original artist Christian Drake:

Vems-v2.0test6.gif

I feel that it solves all the problems with the original logo and that it still looks 'the same'. -Jörgen

Marcell likes the original better, but we can just send in for cutting from 3..4 colors, a few hundred from each. The vector version is needed. The cutter partner likes postscript. They (for some reason) don't like hundreds of small segments, but prefer longer curves. The original .ps was fine (after manually removing the spelling error "managment" text from the .ps file), while the (from .ps not properly converted) .dwg was not.

Color selection

We heard opinions that the diffuse materials are more exclusive than the shiny counterparts. On the shiny surface, you can see some reflection of a direct light-source.

The colors look much nicer in reality than on the scanned image.

[selection sheet 1] first 3 columns are shiny colors, the last column is diffuse.
[selection sheet 2] all these colors are diffuse.

In the new batch, metallic is only 30% more expensive than regular colors.

Votes ?

8969-00 300x Silver is already ordered (metallic color: between shiny and diffuse)
8929-00 300x Shiny-white is already ordered
...

Old run:

red 30% RGB=F00
black 20% RGB=000
white 30% RGB=FFF
green 5% (0% in next run) RGB=0F0
yellow 5% (0% in next run) RGB=FF0 (needed? looks good on red car)
aqua 3% (0% in next run) RGB=?
silver 20% (good on most backgrounds, very popular)
gold 0% in next run

Who designed this logo? Is it possible to append ".hu" ? It's OK if font is not exactly the same, or if the appended ".hu" is slightly smaller.

Designs from MembersPage/JorgenKarlsson:

Not very ground breaking but I still like it better then the current logo:

JÃ¶rgen: I like this one. It also transer very well to CNC. Looks good in black/black too:

I really dont care one way or another, but I think that the the url and acronym spelled out is essential until VEMS is widely recognized.

I'd love it if they were available with just the logo, and not the text and URL. I understand the reason why they are there, but I think it looks more 'professional' without it.

I changed the logo to have no text and resized it down a little bit:

JÃ¶rgen: Thisone sucks, It will also need much more machine time if used for CNC:

I think it's OK (with thick white lines and appropriate rounding, but I like the logo better that is onboard v3.1)

Another idea that GRMracer suggested and I drew up:

That bald V makes me think of Valvoline.... -Johan

comments?

I think URL should be on it
I like it.....kindof Catchy. I think it needes URL at least ~Chris
even though everyone liked the design, common opinion seems to be that "we need something that promotes VEMS".

More unique, the greyscale dots would be all same color in sticker.

Can't sleep, so here's another

vems%20arrows%20logo.jpg

the logo is to represent the open-source nature of vems, lots of individuals adding to a common project

nice :) - richb

Please watch theese and vote what's your favourite! The colours could be change easily. And the size could be changed too, theese were made vectors graphics. And theese sample pictures are JPEG-s, so the quality is much worse than the original logo-s. Any suggestions welcome!Here are examles:

And here is the complete list:

[logo10]
[logo11]
[logo12]
[logo13] - This is a new version, this is my favourite now-Fero

Some of them has a bit low clearances (between border and letters) for easy recognition.

My favorite is 12. /Marcell

Here are some options for the new VEMS sticker Marcell has requested.

An obvious rip of various auto manufacturer's speed logos (BMW M badge, Audi S & RS badges) but it looks FAST...

Is it possible to put a bit of salt on it? maybe a curl that makes it unique...

Here is the pic of stickers printed on solvent printer:

It looks a bit better on pic than live... [Here] you can see bigger pic.

Of course it is water resistant that print is used for truck trailers, and buses and has 3 year waranty in normal weather conditions (including rain :-))-Tonci
