Making my own version of termi sticker (with some help)

[DucatiTorrey]

I am considering getting these Termi stickers made, with negative space where the colors used to be. It is similar to the Carbon versions we've seen, but this will actually use your termis carbon instead of "printed" carbon on the sticker.
what do you think? worth the trouble of installation?

thanks for the input

fyi this is a quick photoshop

Not only do I think it's a great idea - I want a few for myself

I took mine off because of the colors, but the length of the S*R cans needs something to visually cut them in sections.
The one I had was a metal backed (heat protected?) sticker. It came off VERY easily. Do you plan on using vinyl and do you expect that to last? Another question: will the white be separate pieces placed on a sheet or do you plan to have the cut outs done by them being clear, not actual cut outs? The surface on my cans is quite rough, it might be difficult to make anything stick long term?

I still want them though just airing a few concerns...

Yeah, I agree - its a great idea.....

I didnt want any blue on my Termi decals either, so I'm running carbon "look" stickers but in some lights the carbon "look" appears to have a blueish hue which doesnt quite match the CF of the cans.

I think stopintime may have a valid point in that you may have issues in getting transparent vinyl which can cope with the heat (even though the CF doesnt get so hot as metal)... and another thing you may wanna consider is that the transparent part is unlikely to be crystal-clear and so you may end up with a similar slight colour mis-match as I have.  Tricky to make and fiddly to apply, but perhaps just the "outline" kinda decal my be the ultimate solution?

Let us know what you come up with, very interested to see how it works out

I did some work on a friends streetfighter last summer and he'd had some made similar to your idea but I found that with all the edges they quickly got plucked and in the end I removed them as they became tatty

What I wonder is why the designers at Termignoni hasn't done ANYTHING to this logo. It looks like a late 80's design

I'm guessing it's the work of a boss' wife and he doesn't have the guts to tell her the design is out
They are Italian, design is in their blood and they MUST know about this issue - something isn't quite right...

Thanks for the replys fellas, yeah all good points. I was not planning using clear, i wanted the negative space to be nothing. Your natural carbon.

The heat is an issue, though the  carbon pipes don't get that hot, it might not last, no that you mentioned they were metal backed, i'll look into it.

otherwise, i still like the effect, and may just put them on a tool box or my car.

ill keep you all posted
