ok after the big RETRO SHOW at pod its come to my attention that the banners i designed some people may want these to display in there garages so im going to get some made to go in the club shop
3ft high by 6ft long THICK PVC
the price would be around £40 delivered ish for members and more for non members
would there be any interest?
regards mick:agree:

Mick, I'll have one of these :-) can I make a suggestion what about getting the year dated on these and slight design change each year would make it a bit of a collector item,
ok these are now at printers soon as i get them they will go in shop
i have currently have 3 banners 3ft x 6ft long, there in there already but need turning on, ill be sending them out as dale has to much merchandice at his already
ill get more made if theres a place for them
not sure of price atm but members will only pay what we have
also these are not dated james as
1 i didnt have year printed as they need to be ready for FCS
2 its a faff doing each year mr sargent:laugh::laugh:
Excellent Mick. They are great quality Banners as displayed at this years Retro Show. :D:agree:
Mick if you ever get a chance, these would be great in the old R5GT OC graphics too. Maybe one for the future.:agree:

it is a great quality i can vouch for that 3 should be on there way to james surridge in time for FCS too:coffee::D
Good work Mick :agree:. Just a suggestion, not a criticism, as most of us own 80's Renault's would it be better to have the earlier badge logo. Just my two pence worth. Definitely like the idea of the old owners club logo.
been checking server but no luck ill ask ian if hes got it could make a couple of eachQuote:

Attachment 31153
These look excellent :cool:
just the man trev have you got any artwork of the old logo
working on old style banner too trev
scanned a cling and going to work to that will take a while but ill get there what we having
was going to run cling with year 1994 as thats when it started and also wording like "encorparated into the RTOC"
to renault symbols and url from other banner
comments??
More transmogrified than incorporated :)
Which one did you scan? Those from Dale are small departure from the original.
in english simpson plz.
old one ive had years
heres the cling i have

the blue will not be that colour in banner
Just a thought but run it as a competition. The design with the most votes wins and the winner gets a 30 quid voucher for the shop or something. No reason comitee can't enter as voting would be open to all members to decide the winner.
but the problem with that is you cant please everyone and it needs to be in the realms of what can be done and look clear on the banner
ill make a mock up and ask for comments i think unless you have something?
No I don't have anything. Would look like a 5 year olds work if I designed one.
I guess you could use the GTturbo.org web address as it should point to the same page. Put RTOC.org on there too.
The former club name became the latter club name with the intent of including more models and widening the membership, it wasn't absorbed into RTOC. That was in about 2000 or so. I was there at the meeting, at Pod, but I don't recall which year.
I Agree we should have the 'rtoc.org' on there too. We have had very good feedback for the merchandise recently. I feel these banners will do better that the rtoc one. ;)
a very quick mock up blue would be yellow like rest though unless another colour is wanted

Attachment 31186
Great work as always Mick. ;)
I think for me first impression is to loose the diamonds. They over power the original artwork? I think use the full original artwork but maybe slide in at the bottom the RTOC logo within Web address?
The second one could work actually with the presents....... but just remove the lower rtoc wording and the diamonds. Just ideas by the way......
Maybe change 'since' to 'Est.' as in established?
these are all easy to change once ive done the logo artwork which will take sone time to perfect as once its blown up will look shite otherwise, we sticking with the yellow? diamonds removed?
if i remove diamonds logo can stretch are through centre
:agree: I'm sort of seeing this on a white back ground black graphics? Or do we keep it matched go the banners and flags we now have? We had the brightest colours at fcs and retro show!:D
Edit: same bright yellow background, black wording and the graphic same colour as the original diamonds?
i can make the logo 1 colour silver?? or black? any other colour ?
think yellow keeps continuaty
but once art done i can colour change
im having to do artwork as its not the normal
ill do abit each day till done
I think there a clash of fonts.
The RTOC needs to match the GTT font. Or it's a mess.
but whats the font?
its only owners club, www and .org
the gt turbo is the badge of car not sure on the r5gt part inside car
going to take ages anywayz as no one has logo artwork ive got to make it a solid colour as banner shows slighest imperfessions:cry::cry:
looks good but I would loose the diamonds and have it all the yellow back ground, or even black back ground
more done today but this is a knightmare using red atm cause its easier to see every pixel ill show later
taken another 6 hours but getting closer
Attachment 31217
remember this is not the banner or finished article its the logo
recon another 6 hours or more will get it done ready to start mock new retro banner:smokin::laugh::D
it wont have the haze either i had to lower quality to upload

Think RTOC owes you big time for all this I know how much time this has taken you, maybe RTOC should start buying your tickets for events as a thank you seeing as you ask for nothing and do it as your a decent guy :agree::agree::love::love::love: (small gesture i know for what you have done but its nice to be appreciated)
thanks james thats appreciated i just hope they sell after all this lol
matts had me busy tonight in other ways lol
but things are working again
once done ill need input for this banner think i got most sorted now
the logo has 2 fonts ive found one very similar to the one in the car part of the logo
except for the C so ill probably use that
Easy answer to that - sorry, I don't. :(Quote:

Trev,
Chuffed your here to help with suggestions etc!;) Art is very subjective and difficult for the creator and the critics to get the balance right. We need to guide Mick in the right direction with as little work for him as possible.
Im sure someone re-created the clings a while back, but i think it was from a scanned original? However, the artwork must be with someone from that proofing exercise surely?
the artwork is with printers i was going to ask christian but dont have his details
im nearly done now anyway on the logo the rest is easy after that pm me his details again trev incase i need him
thx mick
logo not far off now just doing fine pixels ill up once done hopefully today
done but problems when changing colour so we need deffo colours then thats it

Garage Banner, HOT TOPIC!
I like the red, woo...
Red with white text would be my preference. Personally I wouldn't use the rtoc logo just the old logo and url is perfect imo.
I was feeling that too; too many logos on one banner.
Whilst it does preserve the main brand identity, it looks crowded. And the web address does point to the same log in page.
If people want a bit of nostalgia with this banner, then would they prefer just the old logo? Some would.
I would suggest to try it without the diamonds and the RTOC logo.
And perhaps change the top heading to Renault 5 GT turbo owners club. Though there might not be enough width for all of that.
In small at the bottom, same size as 'est 1994', you could move that to the left and follow it with 'Part of Renault Turbo Owners Club' then the RTOC logo in the oval.
unfortunately you can never please everyone it is abit cluttered but i can reduce the size of thing ill take a look at ians option and lets see what it looks like
ians take

Great work. Not visited this thread for a couple of weeks so I only just saw the request for Christian's details. Looks like you don't need them now, excellent.
Get those pro art/vector files (for the clings and the banners) uploaded to the files section so they are on the website for future use mate. :agree:
