Friday, April 2nd, 2010

saveurtrailer_logo_design

Save-Ur-Trailer located in Checotah, Oklahoma contacted 509 Media in Dothan, AL to have a company logo designed.  The logo design will also serve as a means of branding a new product so to be released to trailer manufacturers around the world.  The logo design for Save-Ur-Trailer needed to be simple at to the point because of the small printed stickers that will be applied to the intended product.  509 Media will also be printing new signs, banners, stickers, business cards, and designing a new website for the company.  In the near future we will be assisting the new company with product branding and packaging.

Be sure to contact 509 Media in Dothan, AL if you need a graphic designer to assist your company.  We work with clients around the world to help brand their company and teach them how to better market their products and/or services.

grayway_trucking_logoGrayway Trucking located in Chipley, Florida found 509 Media on the net and drove over for a visit.  After a few short minutes talking to them we were on our way to creating a company logo for Grayway Trucking.  They wanted lions and a shield for the logo with a “G” centered in the crest.  The logo design will be used to letter their fleet vehicles. In a couple days we will be doing a partial wrap on one of their semi trucks and trailers.  More information will be posted on this project as it develops.

Full Color Stickers for Wabfab Off-road

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

dsc_9306I have been printing stickers for Wabfab Offroad for many years now.   I recently realized we have never taken pictures of the stickers.  The stickers for Wabfab are printed in full color on vinyl and then laminated.  The inks used for printing stickers like these are UV stable inks for a long lasting print outdoors.  The laminate is a clear vinyl that is pressed over the vinyl after it is printed to help protect the inks.  The laminate also makes the stickers feel much thicker.  These are not the cheap screen printed bumper stickers you find in gas stations.

Once the stickers are printed and laminated we then load the vinyl into the plotter to be contour cut or die cut depending on what you want to call it.  A contour cut follows the shape or contour of the design.  Contour cuts produce a much higher quality looking sticker over cutting a square around the logo.

509 Media is located in Dothan, AL.  We are a full service graphic design firm, and large format printing company.  We specialize in printing vehicle wraps, trailer wraps, stickers, banners, and more.  If you would like to discuss your company needs for stickers and/or other graphic design needs be sure to contact 509 Media.  We design and print product for companies around the world.  If UPS delivers in your area then we can get product to you.

Full Color Banners for a Church

Friday, March 26th, 2010

dsc_9214509 Media can design banners for many different applications.  A local church pastor from Outlet Ministries came in with a pencil drawing of what he wanted.  We created digital versions of the drawing and printed full color banners.  Not only did we print banners we also took the design and printed it on transfer material. The transfer material was then heat pressed onto collared shirts.  You can see the transfer material being cut apart in the back ground of the banner pictures.  I did not take pictures of the shirts.  I forgot to take the pictures.

If you church is in need of banners, or other graphic design work please contact our crew here at 509 Media for ways we can help.

Full Color Banners for Amsoil Dealer 4×4 Oil

Friday, March 26th, 2010

dsc_9043What can I say here?  Dirk and 4×4 Oil has been getting it for years helping people out with Amsoil lubricants.  He has done a very good job building brand awareness in the offroading community for his company brand, 4×4 Oil.  Building relationships and networking within your industry is a required way to advertise, but a company still needs to establish their brand through physical means.  4×4 Oil covers branding very well utilizing networking, the internet, and with printed materials. They have used stickers, business cards, banners, and sponsored some of the biggest names in the offroad world for years to help establish brand identity.

A few weeks ago Dirk emailed asking for some new banners for use at WE Rock events.  WE Rock is a extreme rock crawling event series which puts offroad vehicles and their drivers through some difficult obstacles.  Rock crawling is basically driving your 4×4 over things that most would consider impossible.  Drivers like Shannon Campbell, Nicole Johnson, Tracy Jordon, and Jesse Haynes make the rock crawling courses look easy.

The 3×8 full color banners are printed on 13 oz heavy duty banner material built to take the outdoor elements.  The banners are backed with Power Tape to keep the grommets from ripping out.  Be sure to look out for the banners on television and in your favorite offroad magazine. 509 Media can print banners at any custom size.  Be sure to contact our experienced staff with any questions you may have.

Online Store Design for JMR Manufacturing

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

jmr_x-cart_store

Some of you may know that we have been busy working on a new website for JMR Manufacturing including a new online store.  We choose to go with X-Cart as the platform for JMR’s new online store.  We picked X-Cart for a few reasons.  At the top of the list were SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and the ability to account for dimensional shipping quotes with UPS.

SEO is very important and should be considered when choosing how to build a website.  After all what good is a pretty website if no one can find it?  SEO or Search Engine Optimization is basically taking the proper steps to make sure the major search engines are able to see and crawl your website for information.  The 509 Media staff will be happy to explain the steps you need to take to have Google crawling your website effectively.  X-Cart offers search engine friendly URLs without the need for extra plug-ins.  X-Cart also offers an easy way to add meta keywords, meta descriptions, and page titles.

X-Cart has the ability to account for dimensions of each box being shipped.  By doing so it reduces the chance for back charges from UPS or shipper of your choice.  It takes a little extra time to enter the box dimensions and weight but the savings over a month can be more than worth the time and effort.

Sponsor Board for Barrett Jackson Auto Auction Vehicle

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

dsc_9230A friend here in town buys and sells a lot of cars at the Barrett Jackson Auto Auction every year.  They are taking a custom built low rider Chevy truck down to Barrett Jackson next week with hopes of selling the truck.  The owner of the truck asked me to design and print a board listing out some of the major features of the show truck.  The sponsor board was printed and laminated then applied to Coroplast.  The sign will be used for Barrett Jackson and go with the truck once sold.  If it were something the owner of the truck planned to keep I would install it on Max-Metal to have a longer life going from event to event.

Vinyl Banners for Farmboy Fab

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

dsc_9217Farmboy Fabrication needed some full color vinyl banners to help promote their brand so the 509 Media machine went into action.  The banners were themed after the Business Card design we recently finished up for Farmboy Fab.  The theme from the business card design carried over very well to the full color vinyl banners.

We printed the banners on 13 oz weatherproof banner material.  The banners can be used indoor or outdoor.  The inks used are UV resistant so color fade will not be an issue.  The edges of the banners have grommets placed along the edge to make hanging them easy.

If you need a graphic design company that understands the automotive industry then look no more.  509 Media is built off of a long history brand building in the automotive industry.  A proven history producing results is what we have to offer your business.  Contact 509 Media

WordPress Themed For Busted Knuckle Films

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

bkfsiteBusted Knuckle Films is an up and coming video company based in Auburn, Alabama.  Busted Knuckle Films (BKF) needed a new website to better market their videos and apparel merchandise so they contacted the crew here at 509 Media.  We suggested using WordPress as the platform to build their website from.  We choose this direction for a couple reasons.  One of the main reasons is the ability to easily add new content to the website.  BKF does not need to contact us to add new content to their website.  Through a log in to the admin panel they have access to add new images, posts, and pages.  Basically if you can type an email you can add new content to a WordPress website.

WordPress is also a great way to improve SEO (Search Engine Optimization) on your website.  With a couple additions to a WordPress 509 Media can have the major search engines crawling your website each time you post new content to your website.  The more content you add to your site the more can be indexed by search engines like Google.  Content in the form of text is what the search engines look for.  So be sure to add keyword rich content to your website.

The BKF WordPress Theme is a work in process.  As the BKF staff provides us with more images we will add more banner ads to their website and help with areas they are uncomfortable with.  If you are in the market for a new website be sure to Contact 509 Media.  We will be happy to discuss ways we can help market your company.

Brent’s BTF Fusion Chassis Wrap

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

buggywrap010Brent was a good customer of mine back in my Blue Torch Fab days.  When he needed a wrap for his BTF Fusion Chassis he PM’ed me over on Pirate 4×4 for details.  After a couple quick pm’s we settled on a price and the 509 Media machine was set into motion.  Although we were in the middle of moving the shop to a new location we were able to get it done and delivered on time.

The BTF Fusion Chassis wrap was printed on 3m CV3 and laminated to help protect the inks.  The wrap design has some hundred dollar bills spread throughout the design to show it is his money pit.  Rock crawling can be very fun and addicting.  For those who care about their off-road vehicles and how it looks a wrap might be the set up you need.

Give us a call if you would like a quote.  We can wrap offroad vehicles, race trailers, fleet vehicles, walls, mailboxes, and more.
