Hi from sunny South Wales :)
« on: 25 January 2008, 08:36:44 »

Hi guys

I hope you'll excuse my first post sounding like a sales pitch! I really don't mean it to sound that way. A member of this forum asked me to post here

Please do delete this post if it's considered out of order, I do understand

Since being a kid I've had a passion for cars and now at the ripe old age of 54 I've not changed! Two years ago I bought my most radical car to date - an Ariel Atom. I can't even use the excuse of mid life crisis as I'm well passed that.

Anyway, about the same time my partner and I started producing embroidered clothing for the Ariel Atom Owner's Club and it proved to be quite a hit with the members. It also provided a good income stream for the club too.

Since then, I've also produced designs for other clubs and circuits. I love doing it as it's an extension of my passion for cars.

Now I'm not sure if the Omega Owners Club has a logo or any merchandice, or indeed whether there's a need for such stuff?

Just to give you a taster, here's a few of the designs I've produced recently.



























I also produce other designs - not car related :) The horse is embroidered too.










If you think I can help in anyway, please do let me know.

I sincerely hope I haven't caused any annoyance to anyone by posting this message, if so, please delete it.

Regards


John & Angie

Forgot to mention, this is a hobby just now as we both work full time though I'd love my partner Angie to give up her crappy job at M&S on slave wages to do this full time. I meanwhile work for the police - yikes!! :)

Any idea on costs, as a guide.  We have not artwork except logo on the site.  And what minimum quantities?

I'm in work just now but this is from memory!

Minimum orders are 1 :) and we'll create the patterns free of charge, working with you until
it's right.

Polo shirts £15.99
T shirts £11.99
Sweat shirts £16.99
Rugby shirts £17.99
Fleece hats £9.99
Hoodies!! £17.99

These prices include the embroidery but exclude p&p which is charged at cost.

We use best quality clothing but if you have a requirement for cheaper items for shows or short duration causes, we can use lesser quality clothing. The saving isn't that great though.

Cheers

John

This is my daily drive  :y

Thanks for the replies guys.

Firstly the logo at the op right is not suitable for emroidery - the text is okay but one can't reproduce pictures in embroidery.

Perhaps a good idea, particularly if the forum is active, would be to have a little competition to design a logo. It can be a bit of fun and I've seen some great ideas on other forums.

Personally, I like the simple logos not because they're easie for me to do but they are usually clever - if you know what I mean.

Yes, the Atom is a scream. I've had mine for over 2 years now and I still get great excitement out of it.

Cheers

I invite you to start a thread in General Chat asking for a design (laying out what is and is not possibly) for such items.  Whether or not we chose to change the forum logo to match it will be a decision to be made later :y

As you say, a bit of fun.  We did run one a while ago, though seems we dont have too many designers here  :-X

Here's a link to the message I was invited to post in the General section.

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1201261925

These are a few more I did when we went to Le Mans





I also create for other than car stuff



The horse on the T shirt is embroidered too.


So you can see, I love doing these and work hard to get it right. I love it when people get their shirt and love 'em.

John

Howdoo, and welcome to the forum.

You do tidy work, looks really good.  I would hope that someone will come up with a suitable sharp logo that we could use....

Moved your comp thread to genchat, by the way, rather than in the techy part of the forum....   :y

Hi john and welcome. you got some great designs there. What about something simple to start, say on a T-shirt . The logo itself would do
 WWW.OMEGAOWNERS.COM or OMEGA OWNERS FORUM or even
O.O.F.
i'd buy a few no probs
