Just establishing demand really - I'd quite like one for the van and have found a place that does nice ones, but need to do a large run to keep the price down.

The stickers would look something like this (this is not final, just a quick mock-up):



They would stick onto the inside of the window to face out (no shit) and would be approx 20cm x 6cm

They would cost about £1.50 with free postage.

I would also give them out when people donate (obviously over £1.50) or perhaps for other karmatastic reasons.

Good idea Bubba, and I like the mock-up as it is (t'would even match the shirts so I could be co-ordinated for once in my life!).

Whats the minimum number that constitutes a financially viable run?

Good idea.  :thumbsup:

Now, when do we start discussions on the DFB(lokes)WGC calendar?  That's got to be next on the production list, surely, yes?   :whistle:

Edit:  Also, I like how you can't say NO in the poll.  ;D

I was thinking of some skating style slap on stickers as well, so that ukb can be responsible for making a mess of Sheffield's bus stops, toilet walls, etc :)

Slap on ones would be better from my perspective as I don't have any windows in the van to stick them on.

yeah, do the stickers, we can whack em on the top of boulder problems once we've done em, true skater style  :P. good excuse for some drunken buildering antics too, if you ask me.

We could stick them on the railings at train stations.

I think normal stickers might be better than car ones, or a good addition to the UKB collection.  8)

I ticked yes - but could they be in a different colour? just to be slightly different from the Tshirts etc..?

Agree. A bit more versatile (plus you won't see a window sticker through the tinted windows in the pimpedmobile)

None - instead I have two dolphins strapped onto the front of the van wired up to a screen inside so that I can navigate that way. This is why I need slap on stickers as I feel that fitting a clear screen into the side of the dolphins so that I could use the alternative stickers would be rather cruel. ;)

Normal stickers much better, you can get them in some great places. Lily and Jon sent us some great shots from their travels. The Great Wall was a brilliant one, will get it put on our site so it can be linked to. Also had a comp going during Sam's stag do, Bunters won with the one on the cop car at Brizzle airport

Aye, I think you're right - I need to get this done, I could get a mix of a few car window stickers and a load of normal ones done.

Are car window stickers worth the bother? A normal sticker can still go where a car window sticker would.

Depends if you want to position it where the wipers pass, but there's plenty of spots to choose that would avoid this.

I think to minimise your hassle it might be best to just get regular stickers, Bubs, unless you are super keen for the car ones too?  We don't want you going to any more hassle than necessary, which might happen if you want two different things.

You have too much time on your hands / too much spare brain capacity to think about these things.

Probably, but its experience speaking there as I bought some Metallica and White Zombie car stickers when I was in Daytona just after I'd passed my driving test (few years ago now!) and had to position them carefully on the rear windscreen of my red F-reg Ford Escort (I was the  8) est!!)

i'd buy a sticker if it reads "if you can read this you need to back the fuck up".

I'd love one for the back of the van to cover up a fairly poor filler effort (not by me!).

Failing that some Johnny G slap stickers to try and plant around the Frankenjura might be fun!

(seriously though, I'd buy a UKB sticker)...
