Not much difference between the two, just whether the site url is on the sticker.

I like em both.

I like the one with the URL

I like the one w/o the URL. However, if it was my site, I'd do the one w/the URL.

Part of my dilemma :devil2: :buds:

I like the one w/ out the URL too

gotta go with whats best for you and site.url is best option

Better advertising with the URL. A little more cluttered but it still looks neat.

I would do the URL. I like it.

When will they be available the next millenium?

I you go the URL route, what about losing "S-B" and making the striper larger?

.com !

If you're going to have a sticker
it might as well lead one to S-B

just for sh1ts and giggles
i entered S-B.com in Googles search engine
and Striped-Bass.com was never found

The more Member's the Bigger our Voice
the more Power we have as a group

I you go the URL route, what about losing "S-B" and making the striper larger?

Like this?

That one is great John, it definately looks different missing the big S-B though.

Keep the S-B....thats a must

That looks great John,When will they be for sale?????

Like this?

Add the "Fish Smarter" on the top!!

I like it with the S-B / that what you usually can see on a truck/car ..

Without the URL. Listing the URL will bring more "lurkers"

I like the S-B. Indifferent on whether the URL is included, but it would def be best for site traffic.

Without the URL. Listing the URL will bring more "lurkers"

Agree. Unless the intent is to increase site traffic I'd think you'd want to keep with the S-B and leave it at that. With the URL it's an advertisement, without it's far more cool.

Good timing, I just got a new car.

I agree with this too.

While more advertising is good (really :tooth: ) I do like the ever so slight anonymity of the bass and the S-B.

I'm waiting for the quote return on doing 2 versions - the classic S-B, and one with the URL. So we'll see.

Ed - I may do the Fish Smarter or Get Bent or S.U.A.F. as one with the URL ;)

playing around with the artwork at home

made me think: to abandon the ellipse shape altogether

everyone is using that shape now anyway

but with a bumper sticker size see.... you could
have a much larger striped bass on there
no curvy confinement of the lettering and way more options

like....you could have a whole peel and stick BASS similar to those jumping bass size but the same profile "straight" so lettering could go underneath it....just thinking out loud here

Visually I like the S-B without the URL the best. Wouldn't have a problem having the URL the sticker though...

I agree with Spence. You need the S-B, and it doesn't need to be and add....

How often do you guys rush home to type in a URL after seeing it on a bumper sticker anyway?

john try mavericklabel also.

I like the classic better. It's a small community to begin with and either you know or you don't know.

I like the one in post 12.

I like the one with the URL

me 2

without the url, but embroidered on a hat.

me 2

me 3

Sb like normal. Except take the URL in white text and insert it into the black oval above the bass. So the URL is embedded into the oval itself but as white txt. I already emailed timmeh he's working on it :)

I like the original, but that said, if you are trying to get more traffic adding the url will help.

unless your walking by the truck or your have a telescope on his ass ........... your not going to be able to read the URL IMO >><

Shouldn't the fish be belly up?

I would go with the straight S-B. That .com thing on the hat kinda reminds me of when Ted Williams son sent him out at the All-Star game with that foolish hitters.com hat. It made Ted look like a bill board when every one else had their team hat on. I agree with Iceman, the Classic is better, why change a classic?

Could you fit the striped-bass.com into the striper illustration, somewhat inconspicuously?
You could'nt read it at 75 mph anyways

John,

Made these per order Victor with URL on top. I did one with all caps and one with lowercase. I have vector pdfs if you want them. :)

I like the all caps but maybe sans serif

I think i like this better.

Nice work,Timmah!:smash:

I think i like this better.

We have a winner, nice work Timmah.

I think i like this better.

very nice, got my vote, I like the overlay effect

I think i like this better.

Winner, my vote too.

I like the old school sticker but i wouldnt mind having the URL on there. Traffic equals dollars in the web world right? JohnR ya gotta get a little somethin for putting up with the headaches this site must create on occasion.

i think tim nailed it :cheers:

Not much difference between the two, just whether the site url is on the sticker.

Neeked Women

Now we have a choice of this, this or this, I think I will go with this.

Either the URL in the border or not at all.

What about hats
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

I like that :btu:

Beanies?

I think the timmah version is solid. Perhaps I'd make the URL a smaller font though. From a short distance it won't be legible anyway and it will just become grey...Perhaps the fish also should be black and white and not shaded to enhance contrast.

x2.. :uhuh:

TimTim - nice work! And inspiration. Can you save that in a PSD (older) format with Layers so I can beat it up a little?

Thanks!

John

I may do 2, one Old School and one based on Timmahs work.

Do you have Illustrator John? I'll send you both. I too think the bass should be more Graphic, it's just what I had on hand. I'll send you a couple versions. Once your ready I can get a quote from my label place for you.

I like them both and will need 3 when they are made :)

Yup. And I'll make sure I send the right size envelope this time :tooth:.

Do you really need the www. ?

w/o - keeps that mystic about people on here, its lets those in the know know if you know what i mean.

I gotta say those ones that Tim made are awesome, love them. The last one is it but like Makai said, do we really need the WWW.? The less stuff on there the better. Great work.

the www. offsets the .com visually. plus it's 3 w's.

URL

w/o the URL

The url would benefit those that steal fishing gear more information. Examples such as locations, gear values, who drives what vehicles along with when we post information about thiefs

I think the ones w/ the url and the black border and such are too "Busy"....I like it simple......

A simple S-B, throw on a bass and call it a day

I don't think that will have an impact, still very anonymous.

That's why we may do 2; New, and Olde School.

Of the 2 New Styles which incorporate Timmah's concepts - choose one:

All cap URL has my vote

#1

I like it with the S-B / that what you usually can see on a truck/car ..

Don't change!!

Don't change!!


We're going to a run of the classic style and one of the new sty;e so there will be both to choose from.

The classic is the best, for the other one I would pick #1. Thanks John.

#1....

All cap URL has my vote

me too



I also think you should give people a choice of the old sticker without the url as well, so print them both and offer both kinds.

#1

Agreed

I like the one on the right.....dump the black border....cutting into the bottom really cheapens the look....IMO.

JR: you must love how everyone has become a graphic designer!:)

Famous words from poet John Lydgate:

“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.

I don't think that will have an impact, still very anonymous

John; I like them both. All black and white, Any color ones?
Any idea when will they be available?
Thanks,
Jake

John, I like everything you've produced so far and would be happy to pick up a few of each. That being said I want one in blue, one green and one done in off white, just kidding. Black and white looks perfect.

JR: you must love how everyone has become a graphic designer!:)


well i am one... for S-B mainly -lol

too bad we can't do a four color

of course i'll be making a custom sticker someday

How about we go Plaid

I like #1

#1!

My Prediction:

You are going to print a batch of Old School, and a batch of the New, and then everyone will take the old.

Why change?

change is inevitable
and remarkable

#1

but like the old one the best.

Of the 2 New Styles which incorporate Timmah's concepts - choose one:
I'd like option 3, loose the URL and make the bass a bit bigger so it cuts into the oval like the text does :hihi:

Also, I noticed the bass is pretty grainy. Is that just due to your sample or did you make it b/w by tweaking the contrast?

-spence

Geez 3 pages you'd think these were hoodies or something :rotf2::rotf2::rotf2::rotf2::rotf2::rotf2:

I'm just glad Clammer gave me a hand full of the first run

I like #1

:behead:

I am no expert by any means but we did recently talk about a similar issue in my marketing class.
With the url you will obviously get the site name out there more.
However, with just the s-b it creates a sort of a mystery and a limited club like environment. People would have to ask the person with the sticker what exactly it mean leading to positive word of mouth promotion. And we all know word of mouth is a more effective selling point. So I think the url would be good for the site to get the name out but the straight s-b would be great as well.
Possibly the straight s-b would give us less new members but more possibly more productively contributing members. just my .02

I like the looks of #1

i like the one w the URL.
there is a south boston sticker thats almost exactly like the existing s-b sticker. its got a striper on it too with s-b over it. theres 5 of them on L street.

CHRISTAN ;;A BLAST FROM THE PAST :grins:

I don't think URL-no URL make any difference in appearance , coolness , whatever. Having Striped-Bass.com on there simply makes it functional for attracting new members. What's wrong with that?

without...old school.
