[Fot] In Memory of Uncle Jack Drews

Joe,
You may want to talk with Rock Speicher, of  Progressive Signs, in
Denver, Colorado. 303.427.6405 .
I've had him do a couple these things for me, as well as some Historic
Group stickers. He prints on a nice material using a dye sublimation
printer. He can even work from a JPEG image, if necessary. It is not a
bullet proof image, but after some years in the sun, they still look all
most new. It opens up your possibilities, there are no added costs for
added colours, short runs OK, intricate cut outs can be done, and cost is
reasonable.

OK, guys, Here is what I think is the best thing.  See what you think and
let me know if there is anyone who disagrees.

I am going to do a round decal (sticky back) that is 3-3/4” in diameter. 
I have decided on this slightly larger size because of two factors.  It
will be more visible and I can fit the decals onto the available vinyl
sheet with less waste than if it were 3”.  I could do more on a sheet at
2-3/4 but I fear that the wording won’t be as prominent. 
I have decided that one run is all we need if I do a black on white decal
with a heavy black circle on the outside border.  That way any color car
will be able to use it and not have the decal blend in to the car’s
paint. 
The decal will have Jack’s 59 in the middle (in the same font he used on
his car) with the “In Memory of Uncle Jack” all in black lettering around
the perimeter just inside the black outline. 
The total cost of production of 250 decals is 200 bucks.  I think I can
have them finished by the end of this month so I can ship them by
Priority mail and save a few bucks over next day air. 

So I await feedback.  I need to get this into work today in order to meet
the deadline.

Thanks,
Joe C.

I like the sound of this and it is consistent with one that Bill
Dentinger did in honor of Mike Belfer.

Gary:

As a suggestion for an alternative design, how about a sold white circle
(3” diameter ?) with a blue 59 in the middle with “In Memory of” above
the number and “Uncle Jack” below in blue letters.  I’ve seen a similar
decal before and it looks very nice.  The reverse color scheme for white
cars.
