Banner for displays - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Jetjock · 01-31-2011

I don't know this for a fact but is there a ZR-1 Net Registry banner for the displays that the club has at Corvettes at Carlisle and at The Gathering? I seem to remember that but that was a long time ago and I don't remember. I was looking at the examples of banners and it got me thinking about creating a Southwest banner using one of the examples. Trying to think outside the litterbox as it were.

Roy,
Actually, the Executive Committee is already "in the litterbox" on this project. We are eager to support local ZR-1 Registry Groups. One of our ideas is create local banners for areas & groups that hold frequent get togethers. The banners would be 3ft x 6ft and graphically represent the local area, like Wazoo, FBI & others. Glen Breitung is the only Texas State Director at present and is working on his banner design. You do not have to do the graphics, just come up with some images of the "local" items you want on the banner. I think one for the DFW group would be good. And.... it would be great if you had a local group name too!

Thanks for getting involved Roy. That's how we are going to make the ZR-1 Net Registry a real success.

I saw one that I liked that I would like to use for the Southwest Region. It was the blue 1989 car with the black background that Aurora 40 did a couple of days ago. Being partial to dark blue and having a black ZR-1 has absolutely no bearing on the choice. I just think that it is sharp! How do I go about setting up something like that?

While I am thinking about it on this cold, ice covered day here in DFW land, I have some ideas for names. Some I won't say but we have some hot rod guys that I think would love it. Gives an identity to them as well as us. Outstanding!

I think the best way to proceed is to find some hi-rez photos of the different things you want in the banner, then we will tell you where to send the images to & let the graphic designers loose to see what they come up with.

Here's a photo of my banner for Jerrys Gaskets. I did nothing except furnish the photos & make a couple of suggestions as they sent proposals, until I liked it.

same in blue

and... guess about this one

Nice banners Jerry!

God, I love the last one. Should have gone with it! Of course, you can't let her see it but the ZR-1 guys would love it. I have the download from the NCM but I think that I will play with it before I send something to you guys.
