another help with car club plaques thread!

^^thanks carguy_19 that looks really good

 

Why do all these new clubs have to have CC on their plaques? Isn't it a given that if the plaque is on an old car that they may belong to a car club?

Or, does the CC stand for something different?

 

yea, at first some of us wanted the cc, but others did'nt. i prefer it to not have the cc on it, because that limits our club to just cars. i like it without. either way......

 

Nice looking artworks guys. I could work with any of them.

Bill, on your CC question, the only thing I can think of is the club that reordered from me last year and had me add the CC so they wouldn't get in trouble with the local MC club (if you know what I mean)

As for size, the traditional size is between 4 1/2 - 5 inches tall by 8 1/2 - 10 inches wide. No, I'm not the traditional police, it's just that out of the 12,100 patterns I have from the plaques done by Speed Gems and Chicago Metal Craft in the 1950's and 1960's roughly 95+ percent were rectangular plaques in that size range. The same doesn't hold true percentage wise for the 3000 plaques we've done since 1978 because we use a different technology and do many not rectangular plaques and a few 6" x 12" plaques for clubs wanting to replace the front plate on their "late models".

Looksing forward to adding the Diamond Cutters to the list.....

^^thanks dennis, can't wait to get this ball rolling. i will be in touch with you soon.

 

Made the lines a tad thicker (for better view from a distance) and slimed down the "S" in the middle section... Still 10 by 6 format, any smaller and the font will get too thin to view real good I think. The blade is centered as well as the diamond. Both are as big as can be counting the space separating them is as large as the white lines of the top of the letters.

 

thats badass man, i think thats the one were gonna use. i'm sending you a pm.

 

Looks great. Don't forget to post a pic when they're done...

 

^ What he said... and thanks man!

Hey Dennis, what version of vectors you prefer? I got Illustrator CS4

 

I like the name Diamond Cutters.


Beats the hell out of my old clubs name... THE PEARL NECKLACERS

 

I work in Corel Draw X4 if you can export to Corel. If not I can import an .ai file or whatever. Actually, just a big hi-res (2-3MB) .JPG is OK as long as it prints out nice and crisp with no "jaggies". But I do need the negative of what you're showing, i.e. anything raised = black and anything recessed = white ant it should be just two colors - pure black and white. nothing really magic about it....

Dennis

 

hey dennis, were gonna go with the one on post 36. pm me if you have any questions. thanks

 

Well a couple come to mind. How about you call me and we'll work out the details like how many, finish, etc....

He'll yeah! They came out great. Thanks to everyone that helped. 37nash, you are a badass artist. I have your address, and we are putting something together for you. Thanks to Dennis, and everyone at obrien truckers.

 

I added the plaque to the Bay City page on my website but I'm not sure where that is or it that is correct .....
