Any chance of black ones?
I've added it to the poll but they'll all have to be the same colour which is to be decided by everyone

That sounds very expensive, last time They were only about 50cent each. You might want to shop around a bit to make sure you're not getting ripped off!! (That said I'll take 2 if you're ordering!!)

Also, just a suggestion, you should get littler ones for people's laptops/phones/folders/cars/bikes/EVERYTHING :) :)

I sent the guys who got them the last time a message on FB so hopefully they will write back to me :)

Yeah thats what i thought but from looking at all the companies this was the cheapest ones. They get a lot cheaper if they're smaller but id just rather put in one order for one size purely for convince. Also, if the order goes over 200 stickers, its 75 cent a sticker.

Are you going to pay paul power a percentage?
whos paul power? :D

I think black: black goes with everything. Also, I'll take 10.

If they are for boats then black stands out against most colours while a lighter colour like orange might not be so easily seen?

I go for black - if you make them a colour like orange or green they won't go on many people's boats or cars. Also if they are black I'll take 10. (If another colour I'll see then how many).

OK so apparently Brendino has a load of discopaddlers in his possession. He said he's going to see how many/what they're like (they were made a few years ago) and get back to me about selling them to us.

He says that Smithy (super oldie) made them so maybe he worked for a printing company or something, hence the cheapness!

Anyway, people probably still want more than he has, but he might have a variety of colours, so we can see what happens!

Would we be able to do something like black with a white border of something, just for those of sticking it on a black surface....

or neon... neon is good with everything! :D

Perfect! If that's possible, it'd mean it'd show up on everything.

Yup we can indeed. However, its going to need some mad photoshop skills :D

EDIT:
In this case, maybe lets have a day or two to decide on the final design and then  ill start taking orders.

Ruler (http://iruler.net/)
150mm x 120mm sized disco paddlers would fit on:
- boats
- cars
- helmets
- paddleblades
- laptops
- bedroom windows
- folders
- books
- ipads/tablets

If there was a smaller size too, say 90mm x 72mm then we'd be good to go with
- phones
- bikes
- smaller helmets

or more discreet versions of the list above too.

He says that Smithy (super oldie) made them so maybe he worked for a printing company or something, hence the cheapness!

Smithy made the original discopaddlers with ShaneT in his signwriting company, he made a huge one for the side of his van before a paddling road trip round Europe, Paul Power worked with smithy for a while and printed off a load for the club. If Brendino got them from smithy they are probably original discopaddlers.

I'll take 10 please!

Post by: Kater on March 05, 2013, 19:41:55
yeah black would be sweet and I agree with the neon accents idea! lime green accent colours would be sa-weet.  I would probably buy around 5 if they were black.
Title: Re: Disco paddler stickers!
Post by: Garbhan on March 05, 2013, 20:04:13
I'm going to say if there black I'll probably take 5 and if the price goes down I'll take 10.

Sweeet, think these ones are from around 2006 though from what I remember, so they might not be the real deal ;)

I remember Benny and Skelly had HUGE ones on their van/cars, didn't see Shane T's.

Man, they were so sweet looking. :) :)

Yes if you could get either an accent colour or something that would be ideal for people like me with black paddles (and laptop)... and then i would get many- at least a million!!
*now i know im no good at estimating my sticker needs, but a million sounds about right, doesn't it??*

or, if theres enough demand you could get two versions in different colours! (though i realise the second colour would be in less demand and therefore more expensive, I'd still be leaning towards a colour that's not black...)

I've no preference to what colour they are really and do the like the idea of having a border of some sorts on the disco paddler. What colour would be people like the border to be? just white ?

Yeah, white's probably best, black and white won't clash with anything really.

luminous green border would be pure cool

You really can't do wrong with black and white...I'd prob take 5 or if the price went down 10 :)

Post by: HelenaC on March 06, 2013, 15:22:04
The lime green that's on the lads fleeces goes really well with the black... I think that'd be class so I'm gonna agree with the lads!


Green and Black

What does everyone think of this ?

The grey background is just for context. The sticker would be in the shape of the disco paddler. Also, the the size of the border and such can be increased and decreased.

Also

I like both of them :)
I think the border could be a bit smaller, but I don't feel strongly on the issue.
I prefer white to green, but still like green, it's bolder, but it does have style.

I was just thinking, it's very likely that next year's freshers will want stickers too, if you bought loads of them I'm sure you'd sell them all, it could help get over the 200 mark too.

My favorite is plain black, I like the black and white (less tacky than green), but I'll still take 10

Post by: Ross on March 07, 2013, 11:12:29
I like the white myself, it goes with more things than the green I think...
Title: Re: Disco paddler stickers!
Post by: Eoghan on March 07, 2013, 11:13:12
Now I'm generally one for obnoxious, loud stuff but the green (and even just large border in general) is pretty in your face...the old stickers i've seen blend in pretty nicely with what ever their on coz they weren't really "loud". If there is a order I'd vote the black/plain colour and if a border is to be included the black and white one.

Since black seems the front runner would it be possible to have 2 orders: a black one and then a coloured one/black one with a border?

Fair play on organising them by the way!  ;)
Title: Re: Disco paddler stickers!
Post by: Scabidas on March 07, 2013, 11:40:20
It would certainly be possible but it just wouldn't make financial sense as here we're going for the best price and in order to do that we can only have one order that suits the most people. For now, even though the black and green looks good I think the black and white  may be what we go with at the end as it would suit most people.

So I think the best idea would be to go with a black and white discopaddler as has been seen in one of the posts above. I would like to have these done as soon as possible so that they may be available for collection for the ball. Anyway, ill start a new thread where people can just place orders and quantities so this can be done.
