Trailer graphics and theme
Posted: Sat Dec 12, 2009 9:25 pmOne of the things I noticed early on was that a large number of teardrop owners have a theme. This was kind of floating around in the back of my mind when I was looking for a quilt and found one with a traditional Compass Rose design and a theme was born.
OK so I want to put something on the outside and found a large number of compass rose designs and a friend of mine who is a commercial artist took one of the designs and worked it over to fit with the color of the graphics on Mega-Mini #1 and you see that design to the left as the avatar.
I talked with Erik at Eye4Design about having one of his sources make a couple of these in 14" size to go on MM #7 now being built. Turns out his suppliers do LOTS of them for a bunch of $$$$. Process took months to try and find a supplier in Goshen/Elkhart and finally I started looking locally in the Toledo area and found Bad Brush Design who could do exactly what I wanted and do four of them (2 for the trailer 1 for the satellite dish and a spare for screw ups) for 18$ a peace. BUT it did not look great with existing MM graphics package so Jeff at Bad Brush came up with a swoosh that fits better and color matches.
A proof with dimensions and a final placement plan that will go to Eye4Design with the graphics delivered two days after the order.
This is the placement diagram and how it looks.
