California Special Ford Mustang Tag

Friday, July 30th, 2010

ford_mustang_tag509 Media is known for custom printed media and graphic design.  We also produce high quality vinyl cut stickers.  The vinyl used to make this custom license plate was meant to match the factory vehicle matte finish graphics.  We utilized matte black vinyl for the base color on the tag to match the factory stripes on the side of the car.  We then used metallic silver vinyl and similar font used on the side of the car to cut “California Special” .  The end result is a simple to the point custom license plate for the Ford Mustang Enthusiast.

We can custom design a license plate for you.  All you have to do is use our contact form or call the shop.

Vinyl Cut TufStands.com Stickers

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

tufstands_stickerHere at 509 Media we get a large number of people calling in need of low cost stickers to advertise their products and services.  Vinyl cut graphics can help keep the cost down and be effective getting your message out.  Vinyl cut lettering is different than the full color contour cut stickers we offer.  Vinyl cut letting starts out as a solid sheet of colored vinyl.  In this case the vinyl is white and the end result is a white sticker.  After laying out the design the computer and our plotter cuts the lettering out.  We then “weed” out the areas we do not want to be in the sticker and apply application tape over the top.  Application tape is sometimes called masking.  The application tape allows you to pull the sticker from the backing and apply it to the desired surface.  Once installed you simply remove the application tape leaving the vinyl lettering behind.

The TufStands.com stickers were cut on Oracal 651 white vinyl.  The stickers measure 1.25 inches tall and about 12 inches long.  The stickers will be applied to Tuf Stands personal water craft stands before shipping to their customer.  One benefit of using a vinyl cut sticker like this is they stand out well in pictures.  So when someone takes a picture of your product and posts it on the internet your brand can easily be seen.

Vinyl Cut Stickers for Kombi Ice Cream Truck

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

vintage_icecream_truck

509 Media prints full color graphics for vehicle wraps on a regular basis.  When Kombi Ice Cream presented the project to us for designing graphics for their 60′s model VW bus we thought simple vinyl cut stickers would help maintain the vintage feel of the project. The idea was for the end product to look more vintage and in place with the era of the classic VW bus.  The VW bus will be used as an ice cream truck at car shows around the USA.  The owners of Kombi Ice Cream are passionate about their vehicles and ice cream.  Car shows can be a niche market for many different products.  Kombi Ice Cream should have a great platform to operate from.

Vinyl cut stickers like the ones applied to the ice cream truck can be cut in a wide range of colors and applied to a many different surfaces.  The vinyl stickers can be removed at a later date.  Vinyl cut stickers can be cut to custom shapes, lettering, and more.

509 Media did print full color vinyl for menu boards on the Kombi Ice Cream project.  The menu boards are placed on the inside of the side doors.  The full color printed vinyl was mounted on Max-Metal to also serve as the door panels.  Stay tuned for another post on this.

Reflective Vinyl Cut Stickers for Cottonwood Rescue Ambulance

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Cottonwood Rescue 509 Media 3Last week a friend of mine with the Dothan Police Department referred Cottonwood Rescue to me to letter their new ambulance.  The ambulance was purchased used from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.  Upon receiving the ambulance it still had a 6 inch wide orange reflective vinyl stripe which did not match the other ambulances in the Cottonwood Rescue fleet.  The state requires all ambulances within a company to have the same fleet graphic colors.  At least that is what Cottonwood Rescue explained to me.

The first task at hand was to replace the orange reflective stripe with blue reflective vinyl.  The blue reflective vinyl was cut on our plotter to 6.120″ wide from a 24 inch wide roll of 6.9 mil, 7 year outdoor durable reflective vinyl. Once the blue stripe was in place we could place the rest of the vinyl graphics on the ambulance.  We cut the “star of life” logo and placed it on each side with Cottonwood Rescue above.  They requested their slogan “Just a Heartbeat Away” with a heart rhythm line to be placed on each side of the ambulance below the star of life graphic.  We also cut Cottonwood Rescue from the blue reflective vinyl and placed it on the drivers and passenger doors to match the other ambulances in their fleet.  From there we had a few other small elements to cut and place on the ambulance.  They requested “Cottonwood” to be places on the rear doors in blue.  The last of the blue added to the ambulance included “911″ being placed on the rear and each side toward the rear of the ambulance.

After all of the blue reflective vinyl was completed we then cut the truck number and a 5.5″ tall “Ambualnce” from orange 6.9 mil, 7 year outdoor durable reflective vinyl.  The truck numbers were placed on the front fenders on top of the blue stripe and one on the rear of the ambulance.  The two “Ambulance” words were placed on top of the blue stripe on the sides of the ambulance.
