Well i would just love a White one! so im easy!
i think he much have left out a 0 on the end of those sizes
It must be
150mm Long x 100mm High text
300mm long x 200mm High Text
500mm Long x 300mm High text
But then the 500X300 one would be massive, i think proportions of text are different, unless they are the standard sheet sizes or something.
my vote would be www.GMH-TORANA.com

I can add a poll.. I will do that next...
I put the text into Corel draw ( Bitch of a program.. i hate it!) and typed "www.GMH-TORANA.COM" and then dimensioned it.
And No.. i didnt leave an 0 out.. i'm not a ricer! Sheesh!
I used "arial" font, and i stretched the font using the handles till it matched those lengths, and then dimensioned the vertical height. Theyre the heights it came to! Without stretching the text out of its natural proportions!
Your right though... it doesnt sound quite right.... *mumbles and goes back to the drawing board*
Ok just looking at the sizes.... remeber.. its a long narrow sticker!
150 Long x 30mm High Text
300 long x 60mm High
500 long x 80mm High
ARGH... i dunno... LOL my brain hurts...

I like them all and the sizes seem to be ok, but i haven't measured them to the windows as yet, looking at i think i will have a medium and a large and of course white suite me fine. Maybe a big black one for the drop tank would look good.....mmmmmm not sure....
I don't like putting stickers on my car but this one certailny has a spot reserved for it.
Will the sticker be just the font or will it be the sizes mentioned with the gmh.torana.com printed on it?
Good work guys.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only thing that gets left on there is the font, and therefore that will be the size. It will have a film that is larger that is applied originally and then removed and the vinyl stays there. I may be wrong about that though...

Heath is spot on... Vinyl is just the lettering itself ( Just the font as you put it).
When you recieve the sticker, it'll have a seethrough paper facing called application tape, and a solid paper backing which is the vinyl itself.
You clean the window, remove the solid paper leaving the vinyl lettering on the application tape, then you place the application tape ( with the vinyl) ontop the window and smooth any bubbles away using a credit card or something like that... give it a few minutes and then you can gently peel off the application tape revealing the lettering!
Viola.. Your now all vinyl experts!
Cheers

www.GMH-TORANA.com and in white (other colours fade) thanks
I dont think the stickers should be "given' away either, that only happened with the first batch due to the lion being on it and Holden not approving it.
They should have a price to cover the costs at least, most active members here have said they would "buy" one anyway.

Tinks: The vinyl i use is a cast vinyl with 7 years guarantee against fading and peeling. It'll cost a fraction more but its worth it.. i wont use crappy vinyl like lots of the other places do!
Though i think your right.. White is definitely the colour that will stand out most, last longest and look "classiest"!
Cheers!

Yep Im keen, I don't really go much on stickers but as others have said this one is different. As far as selling them, I think tiny should work out what it costs to produce each individual sticker and let us know, people can then (DONATE) the money to Tiny for getting them and im sure most people dont mind in adding an extra few bucks, be it $5 maybe just to go towards the website.
I'd just try to keep things safe and stop using the terms buy and sell, ect. Another way could be for each $5 (or whatever) donation made to the website, you will recieve a free sticker.
Just an Idea!!!
I vote for the
www.GMH-TORANA.com in white
Keep It Simple Stupid, lol
Cheers

to the best of my knowledge the ACTUAL font of the shirt hasnt been decided.. all weve got sofar is a photoshopped image!
BUT.. it was based off one of those fonts.. so when the embroiderer goes ahead with the shirts.. we'll ask what font was used and try to get the same one!
Cheers!

But I don't like the capitals

It doesn't need to stand out really

Hey Tiny...it doesn't really matter as I just copied the exact way the winning letters were (like the above example) and put it in the address bar and it went straight to GMH-torana home page, so even if they do type capitals it still works.
try it your self..copy it and paste on address line...
