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.

[instructions in Swedish]

Things to consider during logo design for stickers:


VEMS text on the PCB

vems_trans.gif

[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. -Jörgen


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

Vems-v2.0test6.gif

Various vector formats: http://www.vems.hu/files/JorgenKarlsson/Vems%20v2.0.zip

I feel that it solves all the problems with the original logo and that it still looks 'the same'. The problems with the old logo is that it highlights MS as in megasquirt which is VERY bad and that the original logo was very unbalanced. -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.

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

Votes ?

Old 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.

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

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

Jörgen: 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?

vems%20dots%20logo.jpg

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:

VEMSlogo_sirk_001.jpg

VEMSlogo_sirk_003.jpg

VEMSlogo_sirk_004.jpg

VEMSlogo_sirk_012.jpg

And here is the complete list:

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.

vems_speed_logo.jpg

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:

vemslogoSmall.jpg

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
