Decal Idea - what do you think?
« on: December 11, 2006, 10:13:02 PM »
I was just whipping the one on the post and this is what I came up with. What does the "R" stand for ?  ??? ::) Whatever, just thought it was cool

Naturally I would switch up colors to make the match the would be paint

The "R" in a small circle following a name usually indicates this is a registered trade mark.

It's Hnda's high performance version of their cars, Type R.  Like the integra/Civic Type R, NSX type R, as opposed to LX, EX, SI, the R is the factory's racing effort.  For the domestic guys think of it as Chevy's SS, Dodge's R/T, Ford's SVT.
But I guess it can relate to their bikes too.  They started with the CB's and now they got CBR's.

"R" could stand for Race, but i think you should ditch it as well.

Icky "R". Only one guy knew what it might mean.  Maybe an "SS" or add a Honda wing coming off the top of the "C"... ? Just to add some movement. Could be a bad idea.

R is for "Racing". There is a CBR900R (crotch rocket), and a CBR900RR (Racing Replica, even more speed oriented). The higher the number of "R"'s, the more street cred you get   ;D

I used to ride a CBR900RR. It was a -94 with the Urban Tiger paint scheme. Gorgeous..... 8)

Anyway, Honda´s code letter for -94 was R, so my registration for the bike read "Honda CBR 900 RR-R Fireblade".... Lots and lots of streetcred  ;D

Race-O-Rama
Raucous
Rambunctious
Rowdy

I liked Race-O-licious

Now see, when it's put in perspective, it works for me.  In a case such as this, I vote for making it the same size as the other letters, but still red.

I thought the R was for Racing.
If I had to pick a letter just for the sake of it I'd pick X

And as far as design goes I think it looks cool ..
maybe make "cafe" and "500" different colors

There is a joke in this "X" thing.
When I worked in Advertising we said "We could put -X- and 2 numbers on anything and sell it"  ;D

Anyone want to buy a X-19 turd?  ::) ;D

the different ideas are great except that you guys are the only ones who would buy your designs, then I would not recover the $30 set up fee from my vinyl guy.  ??? ;D

I think the same size R might be a good idea
