That depends. If you can find a place that will make the stickers for free, then yes, you get a free sticker. if not, you will pay for them like everyone else. I am unemployed, so I cannot afford to buy stickers and give them away.

Here is the design with Nor-Cal in it, instead of Northern California.

Do you have any ideas where you going to order stickers? What size they going to be?

I did quick research and found that CafePress.com can make those 5x3 or 3x5 white or vinyl for $4.50 (Custom Stickers, Sticker Printing, Personalized Stickers - CafePress)

Also, as a photographer (hobby) I feel that our sticker can and should be cooler and easily noticeable on our trucks.

The circle one will look as white spot from 5 feet it doesn't have enough contrast ...

Based on CofePress requirements I did another version:



More feedbacks will be helpful.

Just to input my two cents. The Northern California/Nor-Cal wording doesn't matter to me. If some idiot thinks I'm "gang-affiliated" because a sticker on my truck says "Nor-Cal" and starts something. He deserves the butt whoopin he'd get.

Off Topic: Tell ya what Red460, since your birthday is today and mine is the 13th. When the decals get printed I'll buy yours and you buy mine. Both of us will feel special then.

I have checked these guys out:

Custom Vinyl Lettering, Custom Letters ,Numbers Boat, Window vinyl letters

However, was going to wait for the final design to be chosen before contacting them with a price. I was thinking 4x4 or possibly 6x6, but not sure, that was of course, based on my circle design. If we use Cafe Press, we are limited to 3x5 and I would have to revise mine to fit. The price is great though.

I disagree about the circle being a white spot at 5 feet. Maybe 25 feet, but not 5. You should have no trouble reading it that close to the vehicle. I currently have a US AIR FORCE sticker on my side windows, and it is only 3 x4 I believe, and you can see that, and make out what it says quite a distance away. However, it is only two colors too, blue and silver. I can make my design black and white, except for the 93 truck. Don't know what I would do with that. Should be able to convert it in Corel Draw, will have to check on that.

I like your latest design, especially the "Join The Club" part. I never even thought about adding that to any of my designs, but it does make sense to have it there.

edit: The place I have listed above was chosen when I was thinking of putting the FTE website URL on the side windows of my Bronco. I don't know what their prices are for a 4x4 decal, as I have not checked them for that.

Sounds good Nikmish, worse case scenario Jims gets picked I'll just pirate yours and get one made if that's ok with you. No offense Jim, yours is good too. I'll make sure to take a pic of it on my truck so I can atleast rub it in a little.

Make sure you get it approved by FTE before you put it on your truck. Don't want any lawyers knocking on your door.

Here you go, 3.5 wide by 5" tall, 93 truck drawing converted to greyscale, and a rectangular border instead of a circle. Also the Nor-Cal chapter enlarged, and extruded.
