Delta Squad's "New Look"I guess this is the best sub-forum to post this in....As many of you may or may not remember I offered to make a new banner for the team some time ago but I've been real busy so I just recently got around to designing it. Below are 4 diferent options for the new banner that Bingo and I have refined for a team vote. These layouts are for the banner but any one of them can be shrunk down to a car decal size. You don't need to vote for the same one for the banner and car decal. Don't just vote above but post your choice here too. This way if non-team members decide to vote too only the teams votes will count but the poll above will make a nice way of quickly counting votes if it's used correctly. This is a multiple choice poll so you should be able to vote for both you favorite banner and your favorite for the car decal. I'm not going to vote for 2 reasons. - First it would be like asking a Dad to choose one of his kids over another. - Second and more importantly I'm not actually a member of Delta Squad so it's not really my place to vote anyway since this is a team decision and as a non-memeber I shouldn't sway the vote one way or another. Now I'm going to point out the advantages and disadvantages for each option. Option #1 with the white background will be the easiest to read in low light but will start looking "old and dirty" if not properly maintained quickly. Option #2 as a banner it will kinda look like the text is just "floating" there at dusk/dawn but as the car decal I can remove the black and let your tinted window fill that part in this way you can still kinda see thru the decal. Option #3 and #4 are brothers so I'll review them together. #3 has the bottom 2 lines more subtle than the words "Delta Squad" and #4 has all the text equally readable. Click on any of the samples below to see them HUGE, and I mean HUGE! Option #1 
Option #2 
Option #3 
Option #4 
In addition on voting you may also make comments on changes to the layouts and if enough of your teammates would like to see your change I'll post it up! -Tim |

Good work Squirlly perfect timing also. I like #3 and #4 for both banner and car decal, if where going to do this we also need patches, shirts and hats. Olddog | ||||

I'm the same way for the banner, i like #3 & #4. For the car i really dont know, id probably say the 1st or 2nd. I Really wouldnt want to put camo on my car becuase then it would look like some red neck bumper sticker if you ask me. I forgot to vote on the 3rd one for banner lol in the poll woops....if it gets down to the wire after everyone votes, and everyone likes 3 and 4 id take 3 over 4. |

rember od my aunt does that stuff shirts and hats and maybe patches i have 2 asked her | ||||
| Squirlly |
Did somebody say T-Shirts? Ok this has NOT gone thru Bingo yet just tossing it out there to get comments and or votes too! Click on any of the samples below to see them larger Option #1 
Option #2 
Option 1 with White Lettering Option 2 with Khaki lettering. The reason I went this direction is printing is not cheap and the more colors you add the cost goes up fast! Option 1 is more visable if your lets say shopping at Sam's Club and Option 2 is more subtle incase you want to use it to actually play paintball in it. Another way to cut costs would be move the Back graphic to the front and have nothing on the back, even tho that front logo is very small 80% of the cost in printing is setup.
Good thing since I only do signs, I can't print on to cloth but I can get your aunt the artwork in a way she can use it so it's at least consistant. Patches are a totally different animal from signs, t's and hats and if Saber's aunt can't do them you might have to go online but getting them marpat may be the trick, you might have to pick a solid color background and another solid for the lettering to keep the cost realistic. Dark green with black is the most popular for that combo. -Tim |

we still have a bunch of patches to use yet. Banner thing I am with also and car decals. Patches why spedn the money when we have them already. Unless we can get someone to make them for us as Squirlly has volunteered to do with this on the banner and car decal.
I have not seen any marpat t's with a reasonabel cost we can justify. I know jbird got the black with the white we have at a low cost. I am game guys it is a a team thing we have to decide on. Not just me.... |

$10.95 for Normal Sizes and Just $3 more for 3X http://www.armysurplusworld.com/product.asp?ProductID=10134 Starts at $7.99 ea and again up to 3X Available http://www.themilitaryman.com/ind...ageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=180 Long Sleve, Starts at $8.10 ea http://www.vtarmynavy.com/marpat-woodland-digital-t-shirt.htm $7.95 with 3XL just a buck more. These are all blank but with printing I bet you can get these printed and sell them for $20-$25 maybe even less and still make a buck or two. -Tim |

Did some more research on the T's General Merchandise has some MarPat t's for $6.95 each thru XL and up to 3XL in the catoluge (2 and 3X will be slightly more of course, as always).
John will sell to me at a discounted rate if you all order 2 dozen or more. If we find a discount printer that will print on our shirts then we might be able to get the T's for around $10-$12 each COST then if you sell them for a minor markup you can have some team funds for this web site hosting fees or what ever else might cost the team $ in the future. -Tim |

My opinion may not count but here it is anyway. I like #4 for the banner and # 2 for a decal ... | ||||
| Squirlly |
Banner is finished and I suprized Bingo tonight with it and some prototype car decals.
-Tim |

Thanks Squirlly for the new banner and it is great looking also guys. The window decals are great looking he made also.
If I remember correctly he can make them smaller for the cars for you guys as mine is big for the van for advertisement purposes or exposure to the public for us. They run about 5.00 a piece is what I believe they cost if you want one. So hte banner will see its first game at Sherwood along with the original as we will hang both on the sides of the pop up. |

Bingo I would like to get a couple of banner so if your not at a event someone will have one. Olddog | ||||
| Squirlly |
Yeah Bingo, I just did the math and I can do $5.00 each for the car decals and still make a buck or two off a run.
OldDog if Bingo says you can have a pair of the banners I'll be happy to make them at my cost, sorry only the 1st one was free  I can inform you on that cost in PMs if you want it as I really don't alot of people to know that price.
Just so you know the banner would retail at about $250 each and the car decals would retail at $12 each at the 7" tall by 12" wide I made them for Bingo. -Tim |

| Bingo |
Just call me ahead of the event if i am not going and I will be happy to give it to you to use, no big deal. I pretty much plan to go to the game we have remaining for the season FYI | ||||

Old Dog and I discussed Car Decals Saturday out at the field so I decided to come up with a price list which includes some sizes that are HUGE becase Old Dog wants to plaster his whole truck cap but the 4 smaller options I can see the rest of the team wanting. The pricing on all this has gone up since we last spoke so it will be $6.00 each for the size Bingo has on his van but the 6" size is close in size but becase of having to chage by the square foot it's only $4.00.
The $20 Mininum is a team Min. and seeing as OldDog has already personally met the Mininum anyone ordering within the next couple of days won't have to wait. Later on if you place an order I might wait a couple of weeks for other order to get to the $20 or I might just charge a $2 under mininum order fee to cover the cost of the wasted material needed to load the machine 
Just a couple of options listed are any color background or no background at all what is grey would just not be there at all, so I've did a sample of that below including Dirdy's custom "PowderPuff" division decal...

I Like, Nice. |

| Squirlly |
Anybody? Hello o o o o? Ok Forget there's a mininum any orders other than Old Dog?
-Tim |
||||
| Bingo |
Okay I will start then and order two more......anybody else want to show their pride in our team 
Squirilly here is a weird request...how about the marpat like on the decal but in flames for the side of the van and delta squad on it.....weird hey...pm and let me know....wife is going to kill me but hey it is my van...

I think pink would work better Bingo. Olddog | ||||
| Squirlly |
Oh Yeah I Can do something like that, here's a picture of my dad's TrailBlazer.... 
Replace the American Flag with MarPat, Replace the eagle head with the Delta Squad Logo Eagle.... Yeah and the ones on my Dad's TrailBlazer are 6" high by 5' Long so this pair would cost at "Delta Squad" pricing $45.00 for the pair. Both facing the front of the van of course. Here is the back of my truck showing very small versions of the eagles facing both ways. 
-Tim |

Took OldDog his order and installed some of it on his truck cap!
Here is one of the ones with no background on the back of the cap, I know it's hard to visualize this one that's why wanted to take this picture. 
-Tim |
||||
| Bingo |
works for me let me know when done so then I can get the $ to pay for them | ||||
| Squirlly |
Hey Bingo!! Here are 3 different options for the marpat eagle flame. I also have a set of the ones like on my dad's TrailBlazer (see above) that we can streach out tape to your van so you can see the size before I print just incase you want them bigger, OldDog's look GREAT but right after I put them on he wished he had gone with the 23" high option.
(Click on picture to see a much larger sample) Let me know when I can swing by and look at the sizing. Custom is custom and I can make them fit your taste and van! (I can go as large as 1' x 10' in one piece) -Tim |
||||
| Bingo |
can we try the different sizes you were advising on and tape them to the van and see what they look like then by chance ? Let me know when you are available for me to bring the van to you. I'll look at the time I can make it and see if we match up then.
I like the first one, also the 2nd one |

I'm at 87 Front St Building #3 Groveport, OH 43125 Monday - Friday 9am - 5:30pm
Stop by any time and yeah I can take picts and measurments of your van and then take some paper and tape it together or cut it down in various sizes or I can take the van pict, blow it up to full size on my computer then virtually letter it on screen so you can see how different sizes would look like on the van. I just happen to have another set of the American Flag Ones I did for my Dad so taping them to the van for starters would be easy. -Tim |
