Stickers for the Utah MINI??

[Buzzworthy]

Does anyone want them?

Who has the resources to draw something up?

Who has the resources to get em printed?

Anybody want to front for them, cause I cannot this year? Was around $200 last year for 200 stickers. But that was a one time deal. So we would need somewhere else to get em done.

Post up please.

Draw up something and post if you want too.

No repsonses = nothing done on this one.


Or logo up something and set it up on Cafepress.com? Shirts, Hoodies, Stickers.......


Let me know, PM me or email me at buzzron@gmail.com

[glademaster]

I like the sticker and/or t-shirt/hoody idea. Since I have no graphic design programs on my computer, I have nothing to offer, but I am in full support of the idea. I'm sure someone can come up with a nice design for the stuff.

[Buzzworthy]

Dammit, can't find a pic of the sticker from last year, I think it is on my work puter.

I would take a pic and upload it, but I can't seem to get anything uploaded here. :confused:

I can get it Monday I guess.

[glademaster]

I have one of last year's stickers on my Spatulas, sadly, I dont have a digi cam with which to take a photo of it :cussing:. Being behind the times technologically sucks right about now.

Just curious, how did you get one? Ther were many that got a few and sent them around. That is cool.

[glademaster]

got it from xboat along with a whole bunch of other stickers. I'll try to scrounge up a digi cam in the next few days and snap a shot of it.

No worries, I have a few of them myself. On Snowboard, Subaru, Beer Fridge, Nalgene Bottles, ...... Have 5 left I am holding onto for keepsakes. :biggrin:

Too lazy to get out the digi right now, got the pic on my puter at work, it can wait a day.

Funny, I got mine (and the 200 for the maggots) from him too. :D

[AltaPowderDaze]

this new company makes die cut stickers (http://vagrantrider.com/). i think otto would be willing to cut a deal if someone would give him a call.


here's a pic of the stickers i got thanks to snowsprite:

Wow, are you me? We have the exact same tile floor, my helmet goggle setup is identical to yours, and I have the PM stickers in the same place. That was too weird dude. :biggrin: ;)

[Buzzworthy]

I just sent a lenthy email to Otto (and invited him and the crew to the MINI)!!

Maybe he can do all the Summit Stickers??? One stop shop would be nice. We just gotta see if he can do them and then sell them to me for a buck a piece like the others have done in the past.

Will advise once we talk shop.

Now who has the money to chip in for the upfront bulk buy of the stickers? Or pre order how many you want to me to get the money together?

Let me know if you can help. Post, PM me or email (in profile).

Thanks all.

[teledave]

Prior years' artwork (all except for South America Summit, I think)

http://www.biglines.com/photos/blpic29061.jpg

I have no artistic abilities to help you out with the artwork though, And I think a cafepress or other t-shirt like was done for the 1st summit would be tres cool!

[basom]

here is the SA sticker:

[Buzzworthy]

Not getting much of a reponse at all.

Not going to do them if we don't all want em.

Maybe this is not looked at much over here.

You tell me what to do.

No reponse from Otto.

Anyone got other resources.

Is anybody out there.

[Darkside]

From back in my punk rock days, I know that stickerguy.com is a good cheap way to go. Unfortunately, if you want color, the quantities jump up, but you can get 250 3.5" circles in B&W for $51 postage paid!

If you guys want full color, the digital stickers at www.123stickers.com look good, 125 2"x2" stickers for $70. No word on circles though, you have to contact them for quotes on that and for multi-color vinyl stickers.

You also might want to check out www.websticker.com. No prices on the site, but seems like a good place, and looks like they made some Line and Salomon stickers.

[shamrockpow]

There's another sticker (I think from summit #1) with a light blue background that I gots. Not sure exactly where it comes from...

[snowsprite]

Here's one I made. It's just something to start with. Any other ideas/suggestions? I'll try to do a few others and incorporate your suggestions/ideas.

Sprite

http://tinypic.com/misur

[snowsprite]

added web site and a snowflake:

http://tinypic.com/mj1ib

[glademaster]

I dig the design Sprite, espcially the one with the snowflake. I'm not too huge a fan of the colors, but can't think of anything better at the moment. Maybe post a thread with a link to the image in the main forum so that we get more than 15 people lookin at this thing.

[xboat]

buzz, i wish i could help you guys out with this. i'm hoping to have my own setup to do this one of these days but it's about 30k :nonono2:

[SkiingBear]

Really like the design Sprite. Darkening the blue might help give contrast to the mountains and skier? The snowflake is a nice touch. Like the circle design of the first one better than the square of the second.

my 2 cents

[Buzzworthy]

added web site and a snowflake:

http://tinypic.com/mj1ib

I like this one a lot, different..

I however would replace www.powdermaggots.com to www.TetonGravityReasearch.com.

Add Powder Maggots as well like last years under the PM.

my 2 cents.

[AltaPowderDaze]

i like the design a lot. it does need some serious contrast though.



buzz, it's http://tetongravity.com/ :wink:

[teledave]

added web site and a snowflake:

http://tinypic.com/mj1ib

As others have said, I like the snowflake, the circular style better than a square, and it needs a more contrasting background color. Something Like Dark Orange, maybe? I don't think their have been any made in that color. I would leave the lettering in the black "moon" white though. That would still leave you with a 3-color design wouldn't it?

[altachic]

I like it Snowsprite.

Get that blue darker and put tetongravityresearch on there somewhere.

Good stuff.

We need to get these going asap if we really want them.

[snowsprite]

Howsa bout:

http://tinypic.com/mjxbq

[teledave]

Oooooooooh! Very Nice!

[snowsprite]

Or in l'orange if you prefer...

http://tinypic.com/mjxck

[AltaPowderDaze]

hell yeah. i'll match my backpack and jacket. :D

[altachic]

orange is sweet...we don't have any orange PM stickers

I vote for that one!

[SkiingBear]

I'll go against the grain and vote blue. Always thought of blue as more of a winter color.

At the same time...orange stands out better and is more noticeable...hmmmm.

They both look great, don't care what color it is, so long as I can get one.

[glademaster]

My vote is for the darker blue one too. Orange skiers and trees seem way too warm weather for my taste. Plus, I dig the blue. :biggrin:

[teledave]

Orange.
More importantly,
How are we gonna get them made up?

Glademaster, please no polls, just do blue instead or whoever fronts the money gets to pick. Polls are just way to Gapic.

Edit: Besides the orange matches all the huntin' overhauls that I always ski in.

[glademaster]

Orange.


Glademaster, please no polls, just do blue instead or whoever fronts the money gets to pick. Polls are just way to Gapic.


I wasn't even thinkin about posting a poll. I'm about polled out for another few months. I just posted my opinion, whatever more people want is what I'm cool with.

[Buzzworthy]

Or in l'orange if you prefer...

http://tinypic.com/mjxck

I think we have a winner! I like the orange a lot. There was a blue one for the first Summit, we should not copy that huge page in history IMO.

Now, we gotta get these done asap and find a good place to get them done, to withstand the snow.

Xboat, hey, no worries, you did great last time, we all loved em!! Thanks a ton.

Who wants to front for them???? That is the big question. I can try to chip in.

[jibij]

That's a sweet design sprite! Keep in mind that generally more colors = more dollars.

[teledave]

I was thinking the same thing. Does the white space count as a color? Even without counting the white (and by turning the snow caps on the mtns white) that's still a 4 color design. Black, Orange, Lt. Brown, Even Lighter Brown, and white. Isn't 4 color technology harder to come by (and thusly a lot more expensive) than 3 color? Or is it? I don't know, just throwing out some food for thought. I'm having a hard time envisioning it without the 2 shades of brown, unless you went with completely white mtns and a black PM. And the black PM is kinda keeping with tradition. Now, can somebody figure all that out and make a design from it? :biggrin:

Just a stream of consciousness post, sorry for the rambling.

[snowsprite]

Hey guys--
Let me know about the color limit thing. I can eliminate some of the colors tomorrow if indeed it becomes too pricey. Just post up here pleez.

Sprite

[snowsprite]

Oh, and I was thinking I can eliminate the snowflake altogether (or make it white) and the skier in the background can be white too.

Sprite

[Buzzworthy]

Sprite

I dig the snowflake, make it white, make the PM and tgr web tag black and skier the same brown, white mtns. (summarizing TeleDave)

If you build it, they will come. :)


Thanks for the desing work, you may make Maggot history!!! :D

edit: my 2 cents, not telling you what to do

[jibij]

Sprite,

You could make the skier black, mountains and sun white and snowflake white. Then all you've got is black and orange, The sticker white doesn't count, so you're at 2 colors.
Also... make the drop shadow a flat black or eliminate it. Otherwise you've got a gradient.
Again... nice work.

edit: Many printers will want the file in vector format. .eps or .ai
It looks like your graphic is probably a raster image. May or may not be an issue with the printers.

[snowsprite]

Okay...I left the psd at work so I will do those changes tomorrow.

I am not sure what all that formatting stuff means. So if I provide just a .psd file with all the layers--is there someone who can do all that crazy stuff to make it print shop friendly?

Tanks!

Sprite

[jibij]

Yea... send me the .psd and font. I won't be able to get to it for a few days, but I can prolly get it into vector format.

[snowsprite]

A little simpler, do you like?

http://tinypic.com/mmvqw

Sprite

[snowsprite]

Or with the mountains...

http://tinypic.com/mmw09

[SkiingBear]

Definitely with the mountains. I like the placement of the snowflake better too.

[KANUTTEN]

.. but here goes: I and a couple of friends will be in Snowbird/Alta from saturday the 10th until monday 13th of dec. Will anyone else be around at that time?

[Buzzworthy]

Or with the mountains...

http://tinypic.com/mmw09

I think we have a perfect design here, 3 colors, looks great!!!

Like the snowflake placement as well.

All in favor of this sticker????

I am!


Now, how to print them??

[glademaster]

I dig the new design. Simple and clean yet very noticeable. I might be able to chip in a little dough, so if ya want me to, someone PM me about it. Great job Sprite.

[snowsprite]

Good, I'll EM it to jibberjabber (jibij) and see if he can vectorize it or whatever little miracle he's gonna do over there.

Then there's the issue of how to print, $$, etc.

Sprite

[backpack]

If you print 2 colors on white vinyl, it'll be cheaper than 3. Just black and orange and the white as "blank" areas. That's how we did the white on the first two summit stickers.

The grey backdrop on "powder maggot summit" might have to be dropped though, unless you do a 3 color process or whatever.

[snowsprite]

Oh, that's right...I forgot to turn that off. I'll PM jibij and ask him to do that. I EM'd him the psd document.

Sprite

[xboat]

send your art to these guys for a quote -

http://www.stouse.com/home/home.cfm

[teledave]

Love the new design.
Now, most important is who's gonna do it and how we're gonna pay for it. Sprite/jibij have you sent artwork to the source x-boat mentioned for pricing? Buzz, how many stickers did you order last year and how does last years attendance compare with this years projection?

snowsprite and jibij, check your PM's, buzz check your g-mail.

[snowsprite]

Actually...jibij is working on making it print-friendly. Once he is done either he or I can send it to the xboat source to see what prices will be.

Any other ones to check out?

Sprite

[altagirl]

I like it in either color. The orange would stand out nicely though.

[teledave]

A couple of late questions:

1) Since last seasons UT Mini was Summit '04; should this one be changed to say UT Mini '04/05?

2) Should the Utah Mini 2004 be changed from white outline to white block lettering?

Any input appreciated, this thing is being fine tuned and should get out to print in the next couple of days. (I hope!)

Edit: Snowsprite, clean your box! (Please.) and drop me an e-mail at teledave at gmail dot com so I can send you some more info.

[snowsprite]

The box is now squeaky clean and an email is forthcoming. Tanks teleave!

Sprite

PS--and yes, perhaps 04/05 is better? That will be easy to edit though. Would you do that jibij?

[Buzzworthy]

snowsprite and jibij, check your PM's, buzz check your g-mail.

Last year got 200 of em. Last year VS this year, about the same I would say.

TD, check you gmail in a minute for more info.

[jibij]

I rebuilt sprites graphic in Illustrator so that you'd have a vector image for the printers. Assuming it's OK, I've sent the file to Teledave.
Here's what it looks like:

[Buzzworthy]

I stamp my approval on that bad boy!!

Nice job all!!

[teledave]

I got everyone's e-mails, PM's etc. on what will heretofore be known as "The Official Sticker of the '04/05 Utah Mini". Out for quotes right now and hopefully I'll be able to finalize and order later today. Thanks to everyone that has given their input, and especiaqlly to jibij and snowsprite who did all the artwork.

[glademaster]

Great job jibij and Sprite, they look great. Do we have any dough for them yet, or are we still grubbin for funds? Let me know if I can be of any help in any way, I'd be more than happy to.

[teledave]

Artwork for the stickers has now been finalized, order has been placed and stickers should be going into production on Monday. They will be on sale at the GMD party and throughout the weekend of the UT Mini for $1 each ( and it would really help me out if everyone attending bought at least 2, don't worry about running short if you want more we'll have plenty). Any and all proceeds above the purchase cost will go the JH Maggot Summit Scholarship Fund.

Lastly everyone that gets a sticker needs to buy Snowsprite and Jibij a beer because without their efforts over the last 2 days the stickers would not be happening. These two maggots made it happen when the timeline was getting slim.

The final design:

We've done our work, now it's up to rest of you to deliver the POW!

UT MINI, Game On 12/17-19 (for teledave anyhow) ! :biggrin:

[Buzzworthy]

So awesome everyone who worked on this!!

Yes, please help out Teledave as he fronted for these. If everyone can bring $2 extra dollars for the stickers, he can make his money back. We all would like that.

And yes, there are plenty of stickers, so really everyone should bring a $5 spot and get some memorabilia. :D

Teledave, Sprite and Jibij, you guys rock!! I simply have too much on my plate this year to have done that too.

Dave, you have mail.

Anyone else getting excited for the MINI???? :biggrin: :biggrin:

[altachic]

Damn....Damn!!

Nice work guys, i'm impressed to say the least.

Glad this sticker thing will work out, i love the orange!!!

See you all in a couple weeks!

[glademaster]

Bump, are we gettin the stickers made?

[Mountainman]

Bump, are we gettin the stickers made?
Read a couple posts up.

[teledave]

Bump, are we gettin the stickers made?

Stickers are supposed to ship out to me today, thanks for the reminder to call and make sure everything is on schedule.

I can put you down for 50 or so, right? :wink:

[teledave]

Stickers shipped yesterday and FedEx has them scheduled for delivery to me on 12/14. Oh yeah! Once again thanks to jibij, snowsprite and everyone else that gave any creative input into them. We got on a tight timeline but got everything finalized just in time to go with a standard order and shipping avoiding any rush charges because all of you made it happen.

[glademaster]

Nice. Love the design that you decided on. Great work and muchas gracias to all involved. I'll be sure to buy enough to plaster campus and the ski team room with. :FIREdevil

[InspectorGadget]

I can put you down for 50 or so, right? :wink:

No, not 50, but I'll take five and pay $10 to help fund the JH scholarship.

[teledave]

Stickers are now in hand.
One more day at work then it's off to NashVegas to catch a plane.
