I'm a graphic designer. Is there a need here for Water-slide or Vinyl decals? How much would y'all pay for them if you needed one? Is there already someone here who makes them? Last edited on Tue Mar 28th, 2017 04:57 am by Alec Burns |

Maybe?It depends on how well you can produce something to match original numbers and lettering, IMO. Different members have produced speed control numbers in the past. I do not know what inventories are. You might want to show samples after waiting for other member responses regarding their preferences.

I mean if I can get a good quality photos with the proper measurements I can replicate to near exactness aside from the method of transferring. If there's a need for it I can produce some samples.

Been doing my own. It's not too hard if you have a decent graphics editor and a good printer.

Silver Swan motor decals would be nice. There are already a number of them floating around for the base. I have a few. Cheers, Bill

I have R&M, GE BMY STYLE, and Century 5 speeds in both "slow" and "5"types. Most of my labels are metallic gold, but I also have the Century in metallic Silver. I believe guys have used the individual numbers to do other types of fans by dividing up the decals into individual numbers. Last edited on Tue Mar 28th, 2017 11:44 pm by Lane Shirey |

Got one roughly done. Busy week. But I managed. Is this to the quality that you all look for?? (I'm now working on the Emerson Fan Motors Pyramid badge). When printed with the right specs and and software files, there is no pixelation. This is merely a sample.  Last edited on Tue Jun 13th, 2017 09:18 am by Alec Burns |

Looks nice, I believe there is an interest in the various switch numbers also.

I wouldn't mind having one like this Westinghouse. Someone here makes them out of thicker plastic but a water slide would look much better as long as the black on it is not see through.

Here's another draft. Anyone interested? I have the decal paper on the way and I'll practice on some metal sheeting and open a selling platform. Next I will probably work on a Westinghouse badge. Stay tuned...  Last edited on Tue Jun 13th, 2017 09:16 am by Alec Burns |

Edit: I can't make the background white at the moment, but if the decals sell well I will be able to in the future. The decals I will be selling will have a clear background to be showing the zinc or brass or any other metal underneath. Last edited on Thu May 4th, 2017 12:10 am by Alec Burns |

The beginning profit from this will pay for my membership. To be frank the more you push for me to buy a membership the less I want to join. I have noticed that method push other guests away from potentially joining. Some people do not have the $45 to spare for a membership. Last edited on Mon Jun 12th, 2017 04:02 am by Alec Burns |

Then make it a rule! And I am not selling anything! I am about to open a decal shop that will hopefully allow me to join as a member. Literally the first $40 I make is going to go to the Association. That's the only way I can afford it, and justify to join.

I'm all for people providing a service in need. Why are we doing the "Built to Last" badge though? I might be hazy (it is Monday afterall), but aren't most of those raised. The screen printed badge like the Pyramid style and later were screen printed and commonly were worn off. I think those would be the ones to focus on.

Hey Geo, I'm having some issues finding a printer that will print to my standards, but once I do I will open a store with prices and post the link in the BST forum.

I'm getting really tired of the members bullying people in these forums. Let the moderators do the policing of the rules. No one wants to get berated for trying to be helpful. Yes Lane I am talking to you. Last edited on Wed Jun 21st, 2017 12:42 am by Gary Hagan |

Well I belong to 15 or so forums and this one is the only one that charges for membership!! There is a lot more information on some of these forums art no membership fee. I could see if the guy didn't see where he would have enough business he wouldn't spend the money for a membership.
