Chris, it's VERY Important that you have something done that can be Reproduced as a sticker/decal. I tried to explain this to people on here before.

There is a big difference between Cool Artwork and Usable Artwork. Very detailed artwork is more appealing, but it doesen't always dransfer to a usable sticker/decal. If you go with a Screen Print style sticker/decal, you can get away with a lot more, but they will charge you setup fees for multiple colors. If you are going with a Cut Out sticker/decal, detail is Not your friend.

There is a ton of cool skull black line artwork on the internet. They make for a Great starting point that can be added too. Everything from simple to Highly detailed.

That middle one is pretty cool. I can picture that with a tribal head band, like one a cheif would wear, but instead of feathers, be flame, so to give the appearance of an india cheif, just a real evil looking one. Cuz you know...were evil.

Thanks for the tips Rog.

That'll be $299.99 plus tax

This is an example of unusable artwork.

But it is a good starting point.

I really like the first one. That is real close to what I had in mind. Thanks Kenny!

You just need someone to take that and reproduce it in Black line.

Chris, are you planning on having the stickers Silk Screened or a Cutout Decal? This artwork can be done as a Silk Screen sticker, but the skull artwork is going to be a little to much for a Cutout.

I've emailed the pictures to the guy who is going to draw everthing up for us. Not sure about the production of the stickers yet. Pretty much have just been trying to focus on a logo and then go from there. I understand though about the detail and how it would be difficult one way vs the other. Our main goal is shirts first. That way when we go to the races, people will be able to tell we are all together as a team.
