Hope @paulplom has done a decent job of the bogs then

What does anyone think to the new design? I can change the colours easy enough. 

 

I will probably order a batch of each, just interested in your thoughts!

I still have three left somehow, I keep moving them from car to car and amazingly they withstand it really well.

 

I will offer an opinion, but I do not think that it should be taken into consideration given the above:

* I don't really like the phone number, because I'm a woke C.  But I still have it on display on all my cars.

* I'm not sure about the tagline on the new one.  Like the 80s futuristic style though.

If I had a note, it would be the colour. Brown or red to match the forum and AS logo. I'll take what I'm given though.

Sorry to be dim but I don't quite get the tag line on the new one

Cool design & I like the font. Be interesting to see it in a different colour.

I hadn’t even noticed the phone number!!!

 Absolutely love the new design, it looks awesome! 

 Maybe beige font? 

Or fluorescent orange. I’d prefer that to pink tbh...

I agree I think it may look better in an Autoshite colour :) (and with perhaps the normal forum tag line? if i'm being fussy!)

also may I recommend putting ".com" in the underscore like the previous version?  (that way people actually know its a website/internet forum, assuming you want to "advertise" that fact of course :) ) 

its a shame the original style seems to have sold out? I was hoping on picking one up for REV when she hit the road! :)  (I like the 1980s 7 segment LED/VFD look of the new design but I currently prefer the old design as I felt it matched the general aesthetic of the forum itself better)

I like the concept. The 7-segment text on the left is gr9.

BUT (and I don't feel bad about saying this because you did say it was 'work in progress' Tim),

- Not sure about the tagline; any other suggestions? Because I have no imagination, my only idea is ' The future of  your motoring is our concern'

- Personally I consider the font colour more eighties neon than eighties LED 

- Keeping the same font for the address? Not sure it works with the rest of it. Not suggesting the same font as the left bit, but maybe something a bit more modern?

However it turns out, I'll have five.

Gotta say, I was a BIG fan of the Arnold Clark one.  Anyone got any left/spare?

Another couple of AC for me too please Jim.

I'm not so keen on the colour of the new AS one yet.

This is pretty much exactly what I'd say!

Given I have a 1970s and a 1980s car I'd take one of each style in a re-run of stickers...

I think the .com might be a bit too prominent on this version though.

Grey and red might feel more 80s for the 'modern' look (and be appalling to read if you get the shade of grey and red just so) and I don't think the .com is too prominent on this iteration.  I really liked the pink option, as it happens.

Any chance you can put me down for 3 stickers if possible?

80's version looks good to me.

THIS, but in the eighties colour scheme. This is so perfect I no longer care if it's LED font in neon colours, that'd work in either.

Colour change inspired by the Acclaim's clock...

As an aside, why is the dealer address Six Mile Bottom? Is it just because bottom? (fnar).

Pretty much, yeah. When I came up with the original design, it was just a funny place name I remembered passing on my frequent journeys from home to Lincolnshire.

@captain_70s colour change is very 1980s vacuum fluorescent display and suits the typeface perfectly.
