S15OC Club Banner Design - Help

[Darren_S15]

As some of you may know the S15OC is going to have a club area at JAE this year.

For this we need a club banner for the stand.

I have a nice simple design in mind with a white background, silvia logo on the left hand side and S15 Owners Club written in the font used on the forum banner in black next to it.

Please excuse my poor example done it mspaint and with the wrong font, as you can tell Im not a graphic designer :rotfl:

But before I get anything made up I thought Id ask all the budding designers on this forum if they have any good ideas?

This could be used for any S15OC club events in the future...

Please view your ideas and opinions, will need to get this finalised soon so we can get it made up in time.

Cheers,
Darren

Please make sure that any final designs are sent to Nicely for his perusal as he is the site owner. I am sure it will be fine, but I think his permission should be sought for any advertising material.

Not a problem.

Definately doesn't need to be anything special. Simple and straight to the point like the one you've already made is all you need. Last year I noticed that half of the clubs didn't even have a banner so anything is better than nothing!

I'm no designer, but at some point i'll have a go on Photoshop as i'm quite handy when I want to be! :thumbs:

Didn't know about the club stand so will look forward to seeing it this year!!

Is it worth having the website address listed in much smaller font on the bottom right?? Just a suggestion

Nice1 for sorting this out Darren :thumbs:

Yeah just had the same thought too

Updated the first post with the changes :thumbs:

Ok, i've had a quick go on Photoshop with some basic ideas. I'm figuring that if it's a banner, then you're planning on having one of those thick PVC vinyl type things? If so, i'm guessing its going to be cheaper and easier to keep the background white.

If these are any good at all - then I could try adding a nice picture of a car, maybe a coloured background.

Never designed anything like this before - so any comments welcome. I can shuffle anything around, remove/add things so any suggestions welcome :thumbs:

They are all really good! Wish I knew how to use photoshop!!

The bottom one is my personal favourite

 

[Darren_S15]

Nice designs mark :thumbs:

Like Craig I think the bottom one is best, maybe swap the Nissan and Silvia badges over though?

Thanks for the comments lads

As per your suggestion:

Not sure if you've noticed but nothing is exactly centre, i've just done it to eye for the moment. If it was to be that one of these was chosen i'll centre/align everything spot on!

 

[craig8585]

Yeah, that looks spot on. Nice and simple but with all the information on there. Banners aren't cheap, so the simpler it is the better!

 

[LuPix_S15]

Yeah without sounding like a broken record lol... bottom one gets my vote :thumbs:

AWESOME!!!

 

[JEZ 8553]

Yeah bottom one gets my vote. Good work guys.

 

[Mark_D]

Thanks for all the good comments

I might have another little play around later and see if there is anything else I can come up with that is similar to the bottom one everyone likes.

Has anyone done any research into actually having a banner made? Just wondering whether there might have to be a certain size the design needs to be made to so it can be properly printed or whether they can make to the sizes given.

Aswell as that, i'm wondering whether it should be a little thinner height wise? As its quite a tall banner at the minute?

I think we were looking for something around 2.5m x 0.5m, but after having a quick look a common size seems to be 3.0m x 0.6m. Not sure if this will be a bit big though??

 

[meddler]

+1 for the modified bottom one

I'm quite happy for you guys to decide on it. Just let me know what the final design is If you want the 'Nissan' font, let me know as I have this.

 

[craig8585]

Thanks Nicely

BTW, do you know what the font is used on the forum banner at the top of the page?

EXACTLY what I was trying to find out lol!! The one i've put on the banners i've made was the closest-ish I could find

Nice one, I'll run it past you before I go to the printers.

Regarding size, costs and who to use I've never got anything like this made up before so feel free to make suggestions.
