    After seeing all the performance vehicles in my apartment complex spouting off their cool addons and modifications, I decided to soup up my car with some PC parts stickers, among other things I'm involved with. (none of which are car/racing related, but still look good as a window sticker :p )

    Here is an image with all of the logos I will be using:
    window_stickers.png
    The image is sort of wide, it was originally intended to be plotted out at 24"

    For scaling purposes, the URL www.woventhorns.com is 12" wide. (or 304.8mm)

    This is the closest picture I could find to looking like my car (mine has a small spoiler on the back though, and isn't as clean atm)
    [​IMG]

    I'm planning on putting my URL along the bottom of each rear window. Then on one side I'll have my geek stuff, and on the other side I'll have my faith stuff.

    Any tips on how to lay it out across the back windows?
    I'm torn between one long row or stacking it up the back.

    I'll photoshop things around a bit then post what I come up with. Feel free to bash the layouts I come up with. I'd rather it look nice.

    Oh, and all the pictures are cut from white vinyl.

    Okay, slightly different model, but much better picture. (perfect for laying out graphics.)

    Okay, this became a one-member spam-trap. I'd appreciate it if a mod closed this. (It appears I used it more as a notepad than anything else, huh?)

    So, on to the final results... (click for larger)

    I thought about the bit-logo, but haven't decided. (I don't even have all my PC logos just yet... I'd need Asus, Antec, el-cheap-o brand RAM, and afro-tech brand cooling solutions!)

    Actually the bit-logo may go nicely in the lower center of the rear window. (which is currently occupied by a worn-out University of Miami logo)

    Now I just need to find a way to get AMD to sponsor my car PC, so I can actually have performance parts inside of my car!

    I like it. You need more though. And now you have to put all the car stickers on your pc.

    Of course. He's overclocked the EMS. That's why the engine needs watercooling right? :worried:

    Most normal stickers at 5hp per sticker, but since these are custom, I figure that's at least 6 or 7hp Per Sticker!!

    (I have thought of upgrading the air intake and putting the logo on my PC, but that involves too much $$ :p )

    I think you're missing two things: the previously mentioned bit logo, and The Cheat. I'm impressed. The stickers look 100% professional.

    very

    How did you make these stickers, or did you get a company to do it for you?

    While I would like people to read my blog (as Arthur2Sheds linked to) to save the time, I cut the vinyl with my mother-in-law's new vinyl cutter and placed each logo individually myself.

    I also have plans for cutting and selling geeky window stickers such as the linux pinguin, possibly the ubuntu logo (depending on their trademark policies) and some other geek slogans I come up with.

    The only additions to my car will probably be my website URL across the back window (after I revamp the site and actually add content) and possibly a description of some of the services my company will be offering.
