Woodland Car Care Logo Design

Posted by: Dan | Comments (0)

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Woodland Car Care is a new auto detailing business opening in Dothan, AL on the corner of Woodland and Fortner Street. Woodland Car Care is a start up business who needed an image or brand created to help them stand apart for the other car wash companies in Dothan. The logo design was created using the roof line of the Bugatti Veyron which is a very cool sports car. The logo needed to be simple and sleek to appeal to a wide range of clientele. The logo design will be used in all areas of marketing for Woodland Car Care. 509 Media will be designing business cards, signs, stickers, and a website powered by WordPress.

Woodland Car Care will be offering car washing, car detailing, window tinting, and other car care related services. If you own an car wash company and need a logo designed for your company please contact us for details.

Logo Design for Frontier 4×4

Posted by: Dan | Comments (1)

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Frontier 4×4 in Des Moines, IA contacted 509 Media a few weeks ago in dire need of a company logo to more effectively brand their company. Frontier 4×4′s logo design needed to be simple, but serve as a very recognizable marketing tool. Their logo needed to be simple enough to adapt to different uses. For instance using the logo on t-shirt designs, business cards, hats, website images, print advertisements, stickers, banners, vehicle wraps, car tags, and embroidery requires a universal and adaptable logo design. If the design is complicated the appearance can be effected when going from one use to another.

Designing a simple yet recognizable logo / icon is more difficult than many think. Simple logo designs require more thought to ensure the proper message is conveyed to the potential customer because less is being used to send the message. The Frontier 4×4 logo design process was very involved. Many sketches were made on paper before heading to the computer. The logo design process involved answering many questions about the company. The logo was first created as a black and white image. If a logo does not work in black and white there is no need adding color to the image. If anyone is interested in seeing the pencil sketches and design process be sure to post a comment below.

Some of the features of this logo include:

Simple and straight forward design
Ease of Branding
The logo can be used in different colors and applications
Can easily be cut as a simple vinyl cut sticker or cut into other materials
The Logo features two F’s which are angled forward and crossing creating and X at the intersection. The left side F was reversed to create the effect. The letter F is used in Frontier 4×4 with two different words. Frontier and Four.

509 Media is still working on this project. We will update this post with more pictures very soon. We are working on a design which ties the logo / icon in with the words Frontier 4×4. Be are to check back for updates to this project and others on our website.

Heating and Air Truck Graphics

Posted by: Dan | Comments (0)

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Mechanical Support Services in the Birmingham, AL area contacted me about wrapping their heating and cooling service trucks. After discussing their needs and concerns we decided a large graphic design on the doors would better suit their needs. Not to mention a smaller graphic design saves a lot of money when compared to a complete vehicle wrap. The graphic will be printed on 3M CV3 Controltac vinyl.

The circle logo toward the rear of the graphic design is a design Mechanical Support Services uses on their marketing materials. We did add a little ice effect to the blue part of the logo. Another feature of this design is the ability to make small decals for them to place on heating and cooling equipment they service.

Your company does not have to be located in Dothan, Alabama. We can do the graphic design, print, and ship fleet graphics to any location around the world. If you need an installer for the graphics or a vehicle wrap we can arrange someone local to you to perform the install. We are connected to a nationwide network of 3M Certified Installers which can perform a quality install.

We will update this post after the job is completed.

Full Size XJ Gear Stickers

Richard of Full Size XJ Gear operates a nice business in the offroad industry. Richard wanted me to put together a logo / sticker for his company. Richard wanted a lot of information on the sticker in a limited amount of space. Rather than listing the information out I decided to break the design up a with font changes, and font size changes. In addition I also changed the colors up a little. The end goal was to break the design up and give a focal point for your eyes to go to. The end result received a black stroke (outline) around the design for the contour cut.

Once the design was completed and approved by Richard I then printed the full color stickers. Soon after a grip full of peel and stick stickers for their large base of offroad customers were on the way. Be sure to visit Full Size XJ Gear and tell them you want a full color sticker.

If you need stickers printed for your club or business feel free to contact 509 Media for a quote. If you do not have a design we can take care of the design work as well. Design, print, cut, and ship is the game.

Hardline Crawlers Stickers

Posted by: Dan | Comments (0)

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

509 Media printed stickers for an Alabama offroad club called Hardline Crawlers. A member of the club provided a black and white copy of the logo and asked me to add some color to it. The club wanted the stickers in two different sizes. A smaller sticker roughly 6 inches round and a large 24 inch round for their roof panels. The stickers were printed on 3M Controltac vinyl and laminated to protect the ink. The stickers were then contour cut on the plotter to give them the shape they needed. The end result is a high quality peel and stick sticker. If you are looking for stickers for your offroad club be sure to contact 509 Media for pricing details.

Busted Knuckle Films Business Cards

Posted by: Dan | Comments (5)

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Busted Knuckle Films contacted me to design a business card for them. They wanted something aggressive without going over the top. The business card will be printed on 16 pt stock and a UV coating will be added to the front and rear to make the card shine. Busted Knuckle Films is a new company based out of Auburn, AL. Their first DVD will feature southern style rock crawling and the madness in and around the sport. Southern Style rock crawling is a lot different than west coast wheeling. Out west the rigs have no mud to deal with. In the south it is a different story. The new Busted Knuckle “Southern Shenanigans” will be packed with full throttle wheeling in the south. Be sure to check it out.

Business Cards For 4X4 Oil

Posted by: Dan | Comments (4)

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

What can I say about 4×4 Oil that I have not said already? Dirk is a good guy who works very hard raising money for a little boy with cancer. Zach Yost is a fighter. If you want to read more about his battle and what people in the offroad community are doing you can visit the Zach Yost Page on the 4×4 Oil website. I guess you can say this has nothing to do with the business cards but it is a good thing Dirk is doing.

As for the cards. There were printed on 16 pt stock. The front was UV coated to make it shine, and the rear was not coated for a matte finish. Like I have mentioned on other pages this allows you the ability to write on the back of the card easily if no coating is applied. I do have plenty of people who want the shine front and back so it is a personal choice.

If you are interested in getting a business card layout and printing be sure to Contact Us.

Business Cards for WabFab Offroad

Posted by: Dan | Comments (1)

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

509 Media has been supplying Brian and the WabFab crew decals, and other marketing materials for a few years. Last week Brian asked if we could come up with a new business cards for him. We carried the theme from their branding efforts over to the business card. The WabFab logo is front and center on the business card with very easy to read text around the logo. I reverse side of the business card will also be printed with a yellow back ground and the “Wabbit” showing. The front of the business cards will receive a UV coating which will make the card shine. The rear of the business cards will not be UV coated. I normally advise against it on most cards. The reason is the UV coating makes it difficult to write on the card. With the matte finish on the rear you can easily write on the business card if the need ever comes up.

Morris Mountain ORV

If you are into rock crawling and live in the south then you have heard of Morris Mountain Offroad Park. Randy Morris has a great park and wants everyone to have a great time. If you have not had a chance to visit the park I encourage you to make the trip over. It is located just outside of Birmingham, Alabama. Randy wanted some decals printed for the park. We ran them in a couple different colors. If you want a Morris Mountain sticker be sure to let them know Dan at 509 Media sent you.

I should point out we also did the logo pictured. The design needed to be a peel a stick design. The design could easily be used as a company logo for the park. If your business needs some decals printed be sure to contact 509 Media.

You can also find a lot of pictures and information posted out the part on Pirate4x4, YouTube, and CAOS. CAOS is the local offroad club centered around Birmingham, Alabama.
