Well I had my friend make up a couple samples of what our decals could look like. All I need is everyone's approval, any other suggestions, and we can go from there. Keep in mind, this is only a sample, he has many other colors that can be used. Here's an image of what they look like in red, white, and black.

Is it "legal" to use the roundel? Big companies are very "funny" over using registered trademarks, logos and that kind of stuff. I don't know if the same applies to stickers as well. Perhaps someone else could confirm? Wouldn't want a geniune effort like this to go to waste y'know

How big are they? Also like e9nine mentioned we may have to omit the roundel.

well the "roundel" doesn't say bmw so its not a roundel

Regardless, there's too much of a resemblance.

I don't know about that. The crash test dummy thing looks like it also

Interesting find. Why it was designed that way is beyond me.

Hmmm...personally I don't like the font. Also the proportions are kind of...I donno. I'd say italicize it, use a more aggressive font, and place a small graphic in front of the text. I was thinking like a checker flag that fades in from the left. Also, placing the roundel in front of the text, like in the website's logo, but smaller, would be coole. Sorry. I don't mean to be so critical, just sharing ideas and my subjective opinion. I'll make some examples of my ideas soon.

They are roughly 9"x2" so not incredibly big, and like a said, I'm open to suggestions and these were just a test run, also anything too complex will just be to too much effort to mass produce, thats why we were trying to keep it simple. So keep the suggestions coming, and I agree they look pretty plain. However, I've seen many different clubs use the roundel in various spots of a sticker, and I doubt it's really any type of infringement. Just consider the fact that we're using the roundel w/bmw in it on our site without licensing

I'm w/ grippy, the font could be changed. I like comic sans and jester, but just me, their kinda more creative and informal kind of deal.

Works for me as well.

I like Febi's second better than the first. I also like the encircling of the propeller in Stevo's offering, but perhaps with a reduced line weight. I really just prefer the logo at the top of the page. What if the roundel had "E30" around the top, in place of "BMW", then I don't think we would be treading on anyone's copywrite.
