Reddog170 Posted April 5, 2011 #1 Posted April 5, 2011 I got to talking with the guy that used to do all my lettering for my race cars. He says that it would be easy for him to do up a vinyl decal that we can put on the scoots pretty easy. Now if only 1 is made it is $10. However the more I can get made the cheaper each one becomes. Now if anyone wants this I am willing to mail them out to everyone once they are made so the only cost will be the decal itself. But I may be out of line even having one made for my bike. I just thought if I could get a dozen or so made that would get him to keep the templates on hand it would be neat. Shaun PS- if this is in the wrong forum feel free to move it and beat me with a wet noodle. Shaun
Freebird Posted April 5, 2011 #2 Posted April 5, 2011 You are welcome to have one made for your bike. I'm not too picky about that sort of thing unless people are marketing our logo for a profit. I do have some available however. The current ones are domed and very nice but we have had flat ones in the past, just don't have any right now. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=39088
DragonRider Posted April 5, 2011 #3 Posted April 5, 2011 I guess it didnt take you very long to get rid of the ones I sent back to you.............. You are welcome to have one made for your bike.

Carbon_One Posted April 6, 2011 #5 Posted April 6, 2011 I just put them in the box with the others. So do you have flat decals available Don? I'd like to put one on the car. Larry
Freebird Posted April 6, 2011 #6 Posted April 6, 2011 No, I have been out of them for a while. Sorry. If there is enough interest in them and Shaun wants to have some made up, that is fine with me. I don't know where you want to put one but the domed would look great on a car too.
Reddog170 Posted April 6, 2011 Author #7 Posted April 6, 2011 I am planning on having him make up a few at least so I can show what he does. He is very interested in doing more for bikes. He does a lot for race cars, company vehicles, cars, and trucks. He also does signs. Once I have a couple made up I will post pics, Shaun P.S. I do apologize if I stepped on any toes. Shaun
Carbon_One Posted April 6, 2011 #8 Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks Don. Basicly just wanted a window decal for the rear window. I already have a couple of the domed ones. May just use one of those. Shaun I'd be interested in whatever you come up with. Larry
Reddog170 Posted April 7, 2011 Author #9 Posted April 7, 2011 Will be having him cut the decals next week. I believe he will do 12 for $100 so I think I will get the dozen done first and post pics of them. I have one claimed and I want two of them so there are nine up for grabs. Shaun

Shaun How big are you having them made? $100 for a dozen sounds steep from a distance, unless they are big and/or some special material.
Reddog170 Posted April 8, 2011 Author #12 Posted April 8, 2011 They will be approximately 14 inches long and about 2 inches tall, in various colors. He can also do multiple colors on one decal.The more that are made the cheaper they get. They will be about $8.50 each, shipped. Shaun
Freebird Posted April 8, 2011 #13 Posted April 8, 2011 OH....I thought you were doing our oval logo. To be honest, that does sound high. Squidley had some of those make up in about that same size. It just said venturerider.org and some of us have them across the bottom of our windshields. Is that what you are having made? Just a text sticker that says VentureRiders or venturerider.org? If so, I'm sorry but he is giving you a high price. Also, Squidley may even still have some, I'm not sure.
Reddog170 Posted April 8, 2011 Author #14 Posted April 8, 2011 Yes that is what I am having made. I will be talking with him some more today. I think I will talk to him AFTER his wife gets there, she gives better prices. Shaun
Freebird Posted April 8, 2011 #15 Posted April 8, 2011 Well Shaun, I'm honestly not trying to rain on your parade but I think that Brad (Squidley) was selling them for something like $2.00. I may be WAY off, don't remember for sure. Maybe he'll see this and join in.
Reddog170 Posted April 8, 2011 Author #16 Posted April 8, 2011 I hope he does. I looked around the classifieds and did not find any decals so I just figured the ones I had seen had been special made. Thank You, Shaun
Squidley Posted April 8, 2011 #17 Posted April 8, 2011 For a bit of info here, I have, in the past, offered the venturerider.org stickers as I had them made local to me in Michigan. Obviously if you want to have some made up thats cool. The small oval ones were offered in the past, mine are the spelled out site name and typically installed on the lower part of the windshield and were available in Silver or Black. I was selling them at cost which was a couple of bucks. I'll work on getting a revised price and I do still have some of them. I'll try and post some pics when I get home for a bit more clarification.
Flyinfool Posted April 8, 2011 #18 Posted April 8, 2011 If you are doing multiple colors that will run the price up in a hurry. Or using some special vinyl. The Vinyl for my 8 inch vinyl cutter runs about $1/foot for the good stuff. So it would cost around $0.50 each in material. If the design is not real complicated there is very little labor involved.
Flyinfool Posted April 8, 2011 #19 Posted April 8, 2011 What is the font for the "VentureRider.Org" logo in the upper left of every page? I'll see what it takes to cut some on my cutter.

Squidley Posted April 8, 2011 #22 Posted April 8, 2011 Brad, My question was how much were you selling them for? I've forgotten but I thought it was only a couple of bucks. If memory serves me right, I would get a sheet with 22 decals and they were 1.86 apiece. I sold them for $2 and postage, that is if my rememberer, remembered correctly....I think?
Reddog170 Posted April 8, 2011 Author #23 Posted April 8, 2011 Seriously thinking this guy I got is ripping me off. He told me today that it will cost about $7 just for the materials to make one. I think I am starting to smell something funny. Shaun
Freebird Posted April 8, 2011 #24 Posted April 8, 2011 LOL....there is no DOUBT that he is trying to rip you off. I am in the sign business (wholesale manufacturer) and I visit about 50 sign shops a week. I can tell you that he doesn't have anywhere NEAR that much money in materials.
Flyinfool Posted April 9, 2011 #25 Posted April 9, 2011 I laid it out to make them on my vinyl cutter 15 x 2 and it came out to WELL under a buck a piece in material. Unless of course you are getting them out of 24K gold leaf vinyl.......
