FJR Forum Decal design

[Motrhead]

Yep, lose the top box.

To use a forum banner, I think it would look a bit "too much"...a motorcycle forum sticker needs to be simple and recognizable, especially from a distance, something like this;

It also needs to be simple and easy to replicate on embroidery machine, on the pin, on the shirt, hat etc
It doesn't necessarily have to feature the complete picture of a motorcycle.

Simple and recognizable FJR contours (panniers should be added to design below for sure):

And feature the familiar FJR logo

And also feature the familiar forum fonts

Alternatively hi contrast bike silhouette

I agree to much detail in the original design. It's purpose is a sticker. Trying to jam so much detail in such a small area looses the effectiveness of the design and purpose. Top case is a accessory and not how the FJR is sold. The top case may throw the design off when looking at a quick look. Not sure if someone will take the time to study the design to take notice that the bike is a FJR.

What about this version?

Looks good to me now.

 

[Panman]

Better

 

[Mossyrocks13k]

Looks good

I like the logo. I would like the tuning forks if you can fit them in or use them as background.

What about this version?

Looks good,
Italic or angled fonts are a bit less legible then the "normal upright"

Also maybe a bit brighter and more contrast, like this:

I've sent notes to the artist. Especially the brighter blue with sharper/contrast. And a regular type font.

With the changes mentioned above. Thoughts?

No top box.

Something isn't quite right with the windscreen. Too small and the angle seems odd. Left mirror sticks out too far.
The color is OK but really not a common one - closest to the Matte Blue, I think (2018 and 2019). I think the Cobalt Blue is a more iconic Yamaha color.
Even the Galaxy Blue.

I assume the design is stylized enough (and without tuning fork) to prevent issues with copywrite infringement?

What is the intent for making these stickers? (assume to raise money to support forum?)
How large are they?
To go on a surface or behind glass (i.e. car rear window)?
Waterproof? UV fade resistant?
Expected cost?

It doesn't look fast enough. Make it red!

 

[Cycle]

I haven't set the size, but about 5 inches across and less than 4.25 inches tall. They do well on outdoors equipment. At the beginning there will be 2 each for supporting members as a little extra 'Thank you" for helping to support the forum.

So, these are not perfect but do they bring to mind the FJR? We want near but not too exact so they won't be considered. The will go on surface.

Much improved. No chance of switching to the correct side bags? A ’more Yamaha’ blue would great.

Can you show me one with "correct side bags"?

Can you show me one with "correct side bags"?

Those look a little narrower than the standard cases but you can't really tell. (Not a big deal IMHO).
Those may be closer to the "City" cases that Yamaha sells.

75 mm narrower than standard cases.

Correct OEM saddlebags -

Most obviously convex exterior, chrome or rubber strip and pop out reflector. And main body color, at least from the factory.
Thx for indulging my request.

Prefer without top box, even though I have an oem box on my fjr. It does look better without, just not as functional.

 

[Cycle]

Okay. I hope this is good enough. We need to get these ordered for you.
This is revised color, and bags. No box.



It will still have the outline and not be a rectangle. Do the saddle bags look OEM?
