StanceWorks. One of the simplest and cleanest logos uses fairly thin lettering. I try to avoid chunky or boxy letters. It gets a little too fancy. I'm very minimalist in my designs.



Let me try and make another with thicker letters and see how that comes out.

more of my minimalist.

went for a classier design. white outline. fade to black.

no text yet, looking for a clean looking font. I had the G as lowercase, and it looked good. So it can be changed to remove the uppercase G.

Is this for the G or the M? Logo with car on without car?

Indeed fancier fonts may work better for larger designs.

The fonts I use however try not to draw attention to the font itself. So I avoid fancy fonts 99% of the time.

i like the second one with G's instead of G35? iono g35 sounds too propper ;D lol
Nor Cal G's sounds a little gangster. lol.

There's already NCG above. so having G35 below will prevent people from thinking NCG = Norcal Gangster or some other stupid bullchit that pops up in peoples heads.

If I can't come up with a cleaner design, I'll be making the 2nd one. You can text me if you want one. But I ain't drivin down to SJ.

That isn’t thin at all. The line that divides the 2 words is a little thin, and if the whole decal was that thin, then it would eventually be a problem.

What it comes down to is how you wash your car. If you use pressure washer like force or hard scrub when soaping (Carwash place/ drive through), it will have a tendency to lift the decal due to small amount of adhesive stuck to the window.

The problem with fading from white to black is that you will need to get them printed. Printed decals are not cheap unless you plan to do a big run. Your option for printed is an ugly bumper sticker like decal or a printed and cut decal.

If you go for the printed and cut decal, you are looking at hella $$ to get it done. Not worth the trouble since there won’t be enough people to sell the decals to.

I have the SW sticker on my car, it's thinner than it looks. It hasn't come off on me at all. And what about the Emperor Motorsport stickers? Those are super thin, and no Evo I know including myself had a problem with them coming off.

If you go through a automated car wash, you're retarded.

If you wash by hand and fail to go softly where the sticker clearly is, you're also retarded.

I don't see a problem with spending an extra 10 seconds to make sure you don't put 50lbs of force on the windshield where the sticker is when you clean your car.

I'll most likely do the 2nd design. The script font is too fancy. Fade to black is also just a color. It can be filled in 10 seconds with any other color. Not a problem.
