E30 Zone

Well we've been messin around with ideas for these for months (Here), so I reckon it's time to make a decision! I don't know if Chris (Cuk325) is gonna make em up still, but I'm sure we can find someone else who can otherwise.

Previously we've had 3 styles available - the one with the grill as on the banner at the top of the site, the "new" style, and a plain "www.e30zone.co.uk". Then there's the options that various zoners have had a go at. The plain text would still be most suitable for some locations (on eyebrow spoilers etc), so I reckon that & at least one other be made available.

Please bear in mind that they're to go on your car! So think about if they'd look good there - rather than lots of pretty colours (that may look great on a screen or a flyer, but...). Also bear in mind that they'll be cheaper if they're one colour, & hence able to be cut from vinyl.

Here's the options then!

1: Old style (anyone got a good pic?)

2: Old "new" style (!)


3: From William


4: From Hoshy



5: From Simon13


6: From Simon13


7: From Simon13


8: From 320Touring


9: From Simon13


10: From Smithy318i


11: From Smithy318i


12: From AARONM3


13: From AARONM3


14: From AARONM3


15: From Mickobrien


16: From 329iturbo


17: From 320Touring


18: From 325iconv


19: From M3Jimbo


20: From M3Jimbo


21: From 329iturbo


22: From Rich_325_Sport


23: From Rich_325_Sport


24: From Bob_S


And finally, a few from me (mainly to be cut out of vinyl so the black background's the colour of your car...)!

25: (variations of, for colour / vinyl etc)




26: (variations of, for colour / vinyl etc)





31:


33: (variations again...)


(I could do a version for each bodystyle)

Another version of 33, From Smithy



There's too many here for a proper automatic poll, so feel free to just say which you like & generally discuss, 'til we reach a verdict! None of em are final designs either, so if we decide we want to combine aspects of different ones, that'll be fine... Discuss away!




(Have you any idea how long this post took to write btw?!)

I think number 33 without the car outline would look

Number 6 from simon looks pretty damn cool.

Less is more, 20 or 31

I quite like this one, maybe bit smaller, then top and bottom border a little thinner maybe!

:yeahthat:

I'd chosen either that one (20) or 19.

To my mind, if we're using stickers to advertise the zone, it should be obvious a. what the e30zone is all about (i.e. BMWs - how many E30 drivers out there do you reckon dont even know their car is called an E30?) and have the website URL clearly identifiable.

Just noticed that 15 works well too.

15 is good, but I wouldn't stick it on my car!

My votes go to:

20.

22.

23.

Thankyou.

here's mine. sorry moved house and still not got proper internet.

maybe we could short list from all the entries from this post and then do a vote on the front page of the zone.

19 or 20 are my favourites. As said above, less is more, even in essex.

My votes for a short list go to 20, 22/23 and mine of course.

as far as my entry goes I'd like to do it with the regular e30 body style as I don't own an m3 and don't want a sticker to remind me of that fact every time I get in my lowly 318

number 20, i want it to go just below the rear light

good point pete, its for that reason that i think that numbers 20 and the ones Ziggy did may fall down a bit. (no offence to the guys who did them, they are cool )

ideally we need something that shows a picture of an e30 so people can identify that it's the car THEY drive, and also to identify the website.

in that case i'd say that siomon13 effort (#6) fits the bill perfectly (maybe the url could be repositioned?) plus its also simple to reproduce.

as hoshy says the use of m3's is all well and good, but could make it look like an m3 club????(yeah i know one of my submissions has one in it )

i'd also like to vote for hoshy's effort, would look good in many a rear window (plus its white rightness )

Hoshy's effort is a brilliant base.. personally would prefer a sharper font!!

Simon 13's no 6 is also good, but think the web address needs to be clearer (perhaps bold accross top or bottom) and I would rather not have "old skool cool" written there

BTW these are just my hopefully helpful opinions, they are all far better than I could do!!

19, 20 + 31 for me, but they're all cool though !!

Yer I would rather not have the old skool cool on it, and have the e30zone.co.uk written under the car in big letters. Then I would put no.6 on my car.

Fair point, but you couldn't do it out of vinyl - you're talkin about full colour jobbies that would be more expensive & possibly fade... I was goin for the etched-glass-in-the-window (to stick inside obv) look & to me, simple is good! If that ain't what people want, that's fine by me!

Oh, & ain't the fact that it's gonna be stuck to an e30 a bit of a clue?!

smithy318i wrote:I think number 33 without the car outline would look

Added to the list

Is it only me that doesn't particularly want a photo of someone elses car stuck on theirs?!

not really needing full colour ones! simon13's effort is readily identifiable as being the front of an e30, and could be done in black and white......

as for the "attached to the e30" bit-if its just a fleeting glimpse, then having the car on the sicker may be more effective?

Yeah, looks good.

Ziggy wrote:Is it only me that doesn't particularly want a photo of someone elses car stuck on theirs?!

I do agree with that...


Can no. 20 be done in etched glass look?

Wilson wrote: Can no. 20 be done in etched glass look?

I'll knock something up later...

I guess I was trying to go for more of a "logo" for the zone, that we'd all be able to identify each other by, rather than an actual advert (though it would obviously serve that purpose too)... & my main concern is that it's got to look cool on my car!

13 and 26 i recon look good.

Second that Dan. I also like 34. Understated style and sophistication. Isn't that what the e30's all about?

We're not all brash louts with 'RSTurbo lookalikes' and '500 brake Cosys' in Romford you know!!!!!!

Ross

no 20 for me ,very nice

number 20!

only print it on vinyl so you can only see the logo and text

BTW why isn't there BMW on the logo?

I agree no 20 as well. It would be good as a etcheed window sticker??? I dont know how there made!?

Paul

I've edited it

you have to see the white part as being transparant

Thats better!

Can you make the BMW badge a little smaller, to bring the borders in a little closer??? just a thought? still a little bulky i think!

Fussy bast@rd arn't I!!!

You asked em for permission to use their logo?!

Maybe we're gonna want *another* option too?! One plain text, one plain text + BMW logo (ie #20 or based on it), & one with a bit more going on, more like the ones we used to have?

No. 20 is by far the best. Nice and simple and as an etched sticker would look great. It can even be done in black and white if that's easier. Also agree Borders a little smaller. I was thinkin it would look great in the rear side windows. Nice and discreet along the bottom.

Ziggy wrote:You asked em for permission to use their logo?!

True true......

Number 22 or 23 for me.

Simple, but effective.


Are these going to be made in window sicker format? i.e. able stick them on the rear window, from the inside? I dont fancy putting a sticker on the bodywork of my car.. pretty chav if you ask me?

and edited again for Mr. Wilson

could also be done without the BMW in the logo of course


and this one for Ziggy

Both perfect, are we allowed to use the logo then?????


Fonts can be changed easily...
