Forum Membership Decal

[JRTJH]

There are several members who would like to create an optional membership decal. This decal could be placed on the front and rear caps of our RV and also on our tow vehicle. This would be an easily recognizable way to identify membership in the Keystone RV Forum.

So, three options, an oval decal, a round decal, another type of identification or prefer not to have a forum identification.

NOTE: THIS POLL WILL CLOSE IN 7 DAYS
THESE ARE SAMPLES, THE FINAL DECAL DESIGN MAY DIFFER SLIGHTLY.

I vote for the round one. It seems to stand out better with the red border.JMO

[chuckster57]

I sort of like the oval better.

What are the dimensions of the decals?

Either looks great.

Thank you.

Recommend adding the word "Owners" to the title. Such as, "Keystone RV Owners Forum." Otherwise, at least to me, it gives the impression that it is a Keystone RV sponsored forum. JMHO.

And out of the gate, Oval takes an early lead heading into the first turn..:lol::lol::lol:

The prices I quoted (5 for $19) was for 6x9" ovals and (5 for $18) was for 6" circles. There are smaller decals available for less money, but for recognition and visibility on something as large as the back of an RV, a 6x9 isn't that big, anything smaller may not be easy to see from a distance (on the interstate, etc). We were members of the Wally Byam Club (Airstream Owner's Club) and we had 8" member numbers on the front and rear of each rig. They were "big enough to read" when passing on the highway, but sometimes not big enough to read on trailers approaching on the other side of the interstate. I suppose members can order smaller decals, it would be a personal preference.

Oval looks better to me. The round one looks a LOT like a Good Sam decal....sort of.

[WNY Bullet]

Oval would be my choice

[Sniper]

I too would choose oval.

[Gegrad]

I would be happy with either, but I tend to lean toward the oval one.

[Alpine]

Voted OVAL as well.

[ctbruce]

Voted either. I get to be the tie breaker if it comes to that. LOL

I'm with the oval one also.

[XTeacher]

I prefer the oval one, but I'd like it to be a magnet, rather than a sticker. I don't use stickers on my cars or campers. Also, I think making the red border a little thicker on the oval one would be good.

[JRTJH]

xteacher,

The decal format is a "fill in the blank" template produced by the printing company. All we do is fill in the text at the top and bottom and insert a "photo/drawing" in the center. All the rest, the font, size and graphics are already a part of the format. I don't know for sure, but from a quick discussion with the "can I help you" box on the website, "WYSIWYG" with no changes, at least for the quoted prices. I'm sure they have custom graphics, but not for that price.

As for magnetic stickers, I didn't see them at their website, but possibly some other company could provide them. I also don't put stickers on the paint/chrome on my vehicles. I plan to put one of these on the rear window, probably in the lower left (driver's side) which is essentially behind the rear seat headrest, so it won't block vision.

[fourfourto]

I stick my stickers on magnetic backing then they get put on.

[JRTJH]

I updated the two proposed decals in the first post with the good quality logo supplied by Janet.

Another option is to stick the larger sticker onto a blank licence plate and either display it on your dash or attach it to a ladder.

This company is one of many that supply parts: http://www.plak-r.com/index.php and there are some good examples of various schemes on their website.

Oval here. I like the looks of the Montana owners decal suggested by CaptnJohn and the inclusion of "owners" in the title, suggested by MerlinB.

Ok, changed my mind. I do like the Oval with the updated graphics. Thanks John for doing that.

I do think the oval is the better choice, and there is room to add the word Owners.

The logo is a picture. Changing the wording on it to add "owners" would require redoing the picture (jpg). As far as I know there's no way to edit the jpg to change the wording. If you'd like to take a shot at it, here's the logo:

Keep in mind that we are using the "name of the forum" on the decal, so without changing the name of the forum, we'd be making a decal that doesn't reflect who we are (forum members) but that would reflect "something close".... I'm not for that change, I'd prefer to keep the decal as a representation of the actual name of the forum and not go changing it on a belief that it might make it "clearer"... To me, it'd be sort of like adding, "Not GMC" to the Chevy bowtie, to make sure people don't think it's the same truck...

[Janet H]

So... we could change up that graphic to include the word "member' like this (using your colors):

[chuckster57]

I like that one.

[JRTJH]

Reading back through the two threads that prompted this, the purpose of the decal is to identify "other forum members" when on the road or in campgrounds. I'm pretty sure that members of the forum know they're members and most of us know that the forum isn't "sponsored" by Keystone RV Company, so I'd have to ask why we're adding "member" to the decal and what does it reflect that "we, those for whom the decal is intended to identify" don't already know. I guess, in short, this isn't intended as an advertisement for "outsiders who don't know we're members" but rather as a way to identify each other.... So, hopefully we know who we are without the "member" reminder on a decal ?????

To me, the more we put on the decal, the "busier it gets" and the harder it is to identify/read at a glance....

We can "complicate things" and do another poll to see who wants "member" added and who is "ok with the real forum name".... But for me, the KISS way of thinking says "go with what we have".... YMMV.......

[chuckster57]

You made me go back and look at your first one again. Am I allowed to change my mind? I think I like the plain one better.

[earlzach]

I'm ready with either. I think if we own the decal we know we are members. But to me it doesn't matter.
Just get earlzach on one and send it to me. I'll paypal you the funds. Lol

My vote is for the oval and the wording “member”.

Thanks .... Don

[MattHelm21]

John, I’m in agreement. The forum logo is the most important aspect of the sticker in order for us to identify each other and the larger that can be the better. We will know we are members. I’d even vote for adjusting the border in order to make the logo larger and easier to recognize from a distance.

Edit: here is a sample image of what I had in mind. Forgive the rough edit as I did it on my iPad. Mostly I just wanted to illustrate the larger logo.

[rhagfo]

I am for the oval also

[notanlines]

Might I ask how one scans the cursor over the name and a number appears.....:confused:

[MerlinB]

When you place your cursor over the member name look at the bottom left corner of your browser window.

[laidback]

I'm waiting for Javi to weigh in then I'll go with what he says

[5th_Wheelin]

I honestly like both, and will gladly represent either one on my unit when they come available.

[CarKath]

Call me a jerk if ya wish . Neither one grab my attention . I do prefer the oval over the round if it is a choice between the 2 . I don't feel either 1 really hits the mark in some way , something is missing . Can't put my finger on it ,just needs something ?

Your not a jerk at all! The best part of this forum is the ability to express ones opinion without fear of retribution. I for one would welcome any ideas you may have.

[JRTJH]

The poll ends tomorrow. If you haven't made your opinion known or if you have comments to make, please do so within the next 18 hours or so. Once the poll closes, I'll post the links to the site where anyone can customize their member name and order decals. There are some options on sizes that you can order, so some may want a smaller decal for the tow vehicle and a larger one for the trailer, or smaller ones for both, or .......

Anyway, be sure that your voice is heard, vote in the poll and add any comments in the responses.

[JRTJH]

The poll is closed, the results are in (see above) and the oval decal has been created at the link posted in the "sticky" in the Forum Admin, News and Member Account Info section of the forum. You can access it there by using this link: http://www.keystoneforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=268273#post268273

REMEMBER, YOU MUST CUSTOMIZE THE DECAL BY ADDING YOUR FORUM MEMBER NAME ON THE FIRST LINE BELOW THE PICTURE OF THE DECAL. CHOOSE RED FOR YOUR MEMBER NAME IF GIVEN THE OPTION.

Good luck and I hope we start noticing other members while towing this camping season !!!!!
