either just the black
or have the black cutout stuck onto a white disc.
having cut differently colored discs wont be that expensive i imagine and the discs can be sold seperately from the cutout.

coz of the dark windscreen i can see my self picking a <b>reflective</b>, white disc and have the cutout design on there.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
having that logo above in a white reflective material would be great and would remove the requirement for a background disk

how about a transparent disk with white lettering, the colour of you bike will show thro as background. unless you TDM is white.

How about a white sticker, the black areas have been removed, so your bike colour shows in these areas.

only a substrate and cutting is required, no colours, could be metallic, or a plastic film.

since tastes seem to converge on this design idea (and has my preference [Image: cool.gif] ) (popped up twice now and had several votes) we'll go with the design.
im just going to experiment with some lettering/capital/fonts and do some tests on the bike (photoshop)

size ... prolly 7-9cm diameter? wut ya reckon?

Mr G, sorry i have got my university hat on again, (Bsc in printing & coating technology) the substrate is the material you print on, paper ,plastic, metal etc.

I like this best so far - sorry guinness the single tuning fork doesn't do it for me (is a TDM only 1/3rd Yamaha?). I would be inlcined to drop the "yamaha" from "yamaha TDM owners club" (as the logo states its Yamaha anyway), maybe an 850 silloette one side and a 900 on t'other (although it may look unbalanced?...) and increase the size (slightly) for "TDM owners club"

Thats my view anyway.

I like the idea of a sticker with the dark areas removed, no printing just cutting. like this, could remove Yamaha

I agree - just add the www info and get rid of the colour grading for ease of reproduction...what is wrong with this anyway?

any graphical artists amongst us? - Daveb - 18-06-2006

I think Mr G wanted a symbol and not much text only the web.

Have a look at previous pages, there are some designs on this theme

any graphical artists amongst us? - Guinness - 19-06-2006

the logo is to be used on stickers and printing...
