EDIT
Ideas forwarded onto MG303, the shop that will customize the ideas and hopefully with a little luck, will be ready by next race weekend
END OF EDIT

So have been pondering about a new team logo. Will use the TEAM SLO still underneath but was thinking about making a change. Posted on FB but also wanted feedback from here from others as well.

Racing for me is fun, and I don't want to get too serious with it, just a hobby/passion, I am never going to be a top tier racer. I want people to laugh and smile when they see the logo....

Has to be something kind of simple, thinking about getting this on the back of my leathers....maybe make any riders behind me laugh while we are out there.

This is what I found online:

Any other ideas? Must be child friendly also.
Along with this, does anyone know how to make a vector file? I think that is whats needed to take to a decal shop.

Yeah I think when I was coming up with my paint job, I was trying to make it look like a race bike, think it's time to break things up and put a smile back on my face along with others. If it's a turtle, definitely will be in Kawi green....

My decal shop can make it into the right format and then make the decals. They are super great to work with and their product is top notch. Don't know if you already have a decal shop or not.

And they are also great at coming up with custom stuff from your ideas.

Exactly, it definitely is fun, but at a couple of moments, I found myself getting a bit too serious, I told myself a long time ago, I wouldn't become that person out there.

This is not just for myself but also for my friends that come spectate to be a part of, enjoy the good moments out there.

No dedicated shop yet, have been getting different decals from different places

Great, can you get me in touch with them? I will wait on contacting them to see what other ideas CSC members come up with also.

just a suggestion, the logo is sweet, but a lil cartoonish..... make it a lil more manly bro and it'd be even sweeter!

I actually like this, but looks like it would be too detailed for a decal, and I have no skills to make it simpler haha.

I am swamped right now but if I have some time I will mess with it. Are you looking to just do a vinyl sticker, all black lines?

Yeah, I had 5 minutes before running out the door. I would add a helmet but I would make the rocket BIGGER!

I will definitely be making vinyl stickers, but with color, I would like kawi green or something close in there. Would also possibly look into an emboidery patch made for the back of my leathers.

Take your time, I am in no rush, you guys are all helpin me out so I can be patient.

Will be holding out for another week, then taking ideas to the graphics shop that kitten (aaron) advised about. Already in contact with them the past couple of days for pricing details.

LOL Team SLO was originally not going to be a full team with members and such, but I am recently debating. That bike also has a great history behind it. Bet you didn't know I have ridden two up on it???
