ZUZOO2013
MOAB...not just for Barbie cars :)

[VX KAT]

Whatever design is decided, I hope it can be a little smaller footprint than 2012. :thumbup:

[VXorado]

"The Mayans Were Wrong 2013" :p

[JoFotoz]

LOL.How about some design ideas......

..not just one liners :p

What ZuZoo is this? The main thread says that it's ZuZoo VX (which doesn't make sense really :bwgy:). Is this ZuZoo XV? I thought that was last year. I think this year is ZuZoo XVI. Don't know what bearing that has on the sticker.....but it might.....

[BigSwede]

I think XVI is correct. My first ZuZoo was IV in 2001.

[ND92]

Has there been a sticker with a vx driving over a jeep grill? Or driving over the remains of a broken jeep?

[twalker920]

But here's a 5 minute hack job of my mutilation of an American Icon:

You get the idea.....do with it what you will (the VX probably needs to be less detailed/more cartoony)

[Y33TREKker]

Not that I know that much about MOAB (or Photoshop obviously), but what does everyone think of something along these lines?

Add a good one-liner (and a LOT of Photoshop touch-ups), and you're good to go.

Stickers have customarily been a solid color (white) so the design needs to be fairly basic. Landscapes and photo type stuff don't do well.

That's why I said something along those lines. All it would need is the graphics dumbed down. If it's something everyone would be interested in, all the design would need is a basic arch, a straight line for the rope...and the VX profile usually speaks for itself...and there you are...again.

[JoFotoz]

As Bily says...more a graphic than a pic...but thanks for the ideas.

I'd shoot the stickers on my back window and post them...
..but the ORW is away on a health break :cool:

Anyone up for doing that...to show previous years examples?

STOP PRESS..OR...take a look here for past years stickers from Kenny...

And as I said , something "along those lines".

[Jay Dunford]

Haven't done anything with the logo in a while, could be something simple like:
http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/thumbs/ZuZoo.png (http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/23577)
With or without "Isuzu" at the bottom. And probably gussied up a little from my amateurish graphics skills.

[Triathlete]

I like Jays idea...anyone with photochop skills make the left side of the 'I" the moab zuzoowording and the right side tire tracks?

[jasonm621]

If its kept pretty simple i can 3D print plastic emblems/badges for anyone interested!

[JoFotoz]

Thats an awesome offer Jason..

Prior years have been pretty simple B&W graphic images ....
.....that your machine would do....REALLY WELL!

But..I think most people just want a sticker for window etc...
..But, I could well be wrong :p

Wow, I think that's great! and not too many small pieces that will get caught and peel off.

[JoFotoz]

Yup...thats the ticket...awesome job.

[tom4bren]

Since I'm not going, I don't get a vote:)

I thought myself pretty funny with this one though:

[VX KAT]

http://i46.tinypic.com/302qn2r.png

Do we want it like this image or the inverse i.e. the letters in white?

All those skinny white lines going thru the letters, both vertically and horizontally, will likely peel off pretty easily.

Although I like it this way, I think the inverse, so we have bigger chunks of vinyl.

Thoughts?

[Triathlete]

Since the stickers are white and the "black" is your window the inverse would not work.

[BigSwede]

I have a small attachment for mentioning 'ZuZoo XVI' somehow, otherwise I think it looks good.

[VX KAT]

yes it would billy, we've had this discussion before…it ends up being a defined square decal like this in 2011. It's the "postive" vs. "negative" image, but it's not the most attractive.
All I'm saying is those fine white lines will be very vulnerable to coming off.

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/DSC_4690.JPG

[Triathlete]

I have Moab rock art stickers that have a lot of fine lines that have been on my window for7-8 years with no problems.

[JoFotoz]

The defined square...


like this in 2011. http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/DSC_4690.JPG

...was one of two options of same graphics in 2011 IIRC.... :rolleyes:

The ones I had done were the reverse of these...
...and have stood up very well despite narrow/intricate lines.

Personally...I also think that the square stickers are ugly ..not as classy :cool:

Jo

[Hiredgoon]

Whatever you guys decide, if someone wants the original illustrator image, send me a pm and I'll email it to you. It's the work of a few keystrokes to reverse the image and not much more to add to it.

[VX KAT]

well that's cuz you only wash your truck about 1/year but SOME chose to wash it more often in an automatic carwash and those brushes scrape those fine lines off after not too long.

I don't know exactly what Moab rock art stickers are, so I don't know their quality, were they made by the same local shop we usually use for the custom ones? Are they the same quality vinyl?

[Triathlete]

Yep, same kind of material. Mine tend to crack long before they peel due to the sun. I'm with Jo though...I prefer the looks without the square.
And what are you talking about once a year...are you crazy? I still have red Moab dirt on my VX from my last Moab trip...almost 2 years ago :D
I might wash it before I leave this year :)

Jo that's what I'm trying to say! I like the other version better also, AND I learned from MY ****up in 2011 with these decals that tiny lines in WHATEVER frickkin' type decal (positive or negative) DON'T STICK WELL! YOUR version of the 2011 DIDN'T have the small white lines in the TREAD DESIGN, MY *&%$ed up version did!
Pick whatever version you guys want. I'll just replace mine if it has stuff come off.

[AirAmigo]

I agree the sticker should mention something about Moab Zu Zoo, since all the other stickers did that, in order to maintain consistency.

[JoFotoz]

The last several years stickers .....

IIRC…. didn't Todd suggest the word ZuZoo might be a good idea to drop that so this doesn't look like an organized event and therefore require insurance and stuff?

Yup Kat...

Now you remind me..pretty sure youre right.

Just invert black to white ...and its a winner.

Now we are gonna have to get a consensus.....:clap:

FYI, my buddy Mike (protetype) on the planet has a vinyl cutter and can cut any decals as long as he has a good image or vector graphic file of it. Would have to check on prices.

Here's his FB page https://www.facebook.com/mikesvinylaurora

[RickOKC]

I have no idea how these stickers are printed but - can they have 2 colors? Make one solid sticker with a black background and have all the details in white so there aren't all the "fiddly bits" susceptible to peeling.

[BigSwede]

All I see is a red X...

[VX KAT]

All I see is a red X...

must be cuz you don't have a VX:laugho:

Don't feel bad Swede, I just see a blank screen. (I am on my phone though).

It's a solid piece of vinyl that's cut rather than printed. If you want a white logo, you start with white vinyl, black logo- black vinyl, etc. I'm sure you could make a more complicated "two part" design with two colors by splitting up the logo into two sections and then fitting them together on the VX window.

[VXorado]

:_confused

Maybe we need to start a poll??

[ssignature]

Just curious, how many stickers do you need? Not that I have free access to a vinyl printer and a cutter or anything.....:rollb2:

[twalker920]

Why not replace the

20
13

on the right in the big sticker with the rock, truck, and '13 from the little sticker? Then put ZuZoo over in the left side of the big sticker?

Everyone's a winner!

I lack the mAd SkiL75 to picture what I am describing, sorry.

And overall, less fiddly little lines in the finished product!

[JoFotoz]

Because I drive a VX....

...I love the VX based Logo.

However...there are many Non VX Isuzus.... and Toyotas and ( Ah hem)....jeeps.

So what to do.....:_thinking

How about...I will get the VX based logo made up..and distribute those...
(they will be UV stabilized "Yacht" logo material...so should last.)

...and if someone wants to take on the generic Isuzu logo...or whatever....

..have at it.

Jo

[ssignature]

Or if y'all know how many you need, I can print them on a solvent vinyl printer and cut the stickers on a cutter. 25? 35?

...you take on the Isuzu Logo...:thumbup:

I'm doing probably 40 of the VX logo....so a few spare.


That'll cover all the needs.

Jo

Well, the VX logo one is designed by my niece, Krysten. She already sent me the vector of it. In addition, since I'm going to print it, it can be any number of colors. Also, I'll need to know how big it should be. I'm also going to print some Zombie Hunter Permit stickers :)

[BigSwede]

Don't feel bad Swede, I just see a blank screen. (I am on my phone though).

Apparently my work computer is blocking the linked image for some reason...I could see is at home (now that I got my computer working again). But it is weird that I can see the other logo just fine.

Yea, it worked on my laptop also...just not on my phone.

[MSHardeman]

Remember that these stickers also become the T-shirts. It sounds like we might be doing both images this year so everyone will need to get in touch with the t-shirt shop there in Moab ( http://www.moab-utah.com/tshirt/ )to see what format they need the images in so we can all get our t-shirts made, and more stickers cut if needed.

[Triathlete]

If you send the images to the tshirt shop a week or two early they can prepare the screens and it makes their job easier and it brings the cost down for the shirts. If you give them a call theycan give/get all the info needed. Really nice/friendly mom and pops place.

[JoFotoz]

Oh ..Cool....

...I PM'd her and asked if it was Ok to go ahead and get some made up.

Either way..me or you !

I was going to do it about 5x5 or 5x6...thats about the size we have been using.
And just white sticking to window, no border/black etc.

Are you going to be in Moab..if so go for it...if not, might be eaier if I do.

Let me know :thumbup:

jo

[ssignature]

the vinyl I use is high performance calendared, much better suited to print and cut than straight up vinyl cutting, so if you want it white with no black contour, there's no point in printing it. I would recommend just getting it done on a vinyl cutter. I'll talk to Krysten about a sticker that uses some color and see what she can come up with. I spent years, myself, as a Graphic Artist, but we must pass the torch. We're not going, just trying to help out.

[JoFotoz]

The last many years have been just white..very bold..no frills.

If people want color..cool.


If not, I'm more than happy to do as we/I have done in past years...

...and get them done simple white.

It also makes it easier for the T'Shirt shop, and cheaper for all..
.... to keep it monochromatic.

Jo

[ssignature]

Sounds good! If y'all want anything in color, though, let Krysten know and she'll get a design to me. I'd be glad to help. She's doing a design for Uwharrie in North Carolina, too. I'll be at that.
