Default Large format Porsche crest vinyl graphics

I am looking to purchase a large format full color vinyl Porsche crest for my garage and enclosed trailer. I attempted to have one made by a "Fast Signs" franchise print shop but was unsuccessful. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks- Matt

Hi Mkozink

What size are you looking for? I can digitally print and cut them up to a maximum width of 56cm and have already done a few for my sons wall of his bedroom as he is a porsche nut too.

We print on a 3-5 year outdoor vinyl and the prints are resin rather than inkjet so they don't need laminating. Should be good for 3 plus years outdoor without fading.

I can ship to the US if you are interested.

Cheers

Ollie

Ollie-

I was beginning to think it was impossible to produce large format graphics yet I seem to see them routinely at the track or at auto shows. If my metric conversion skills are correct a 56 cm image is ~22"? If yes that size would be excellent. I also like the idea of a more durable material. I was hoping to locate a source stateside but if it is economically feasible to ship from the UK let me know how we might be able to do this.

I am looking for a large version of the Porsche color crest something like this-

PM me or post the details.

Thanks- Matt

Hi Matt

I have had a look at the graphic and whilst I can print that I would need an original copy of the image at about 300dpi to get it spot on, which I don't have.

I have attached two images of the graphics that I printed for my sons bedroom and if you were after a Porsche logo on a rectangular white background I can even print the lettering underneath the logo for you.

Example 1:




Example 2:



Anyway have a look at the pics and I will work out a price including shipping if you are interested.

Cheers

Have a look at this:



The graphic is 550mm x 640mm and I can print it on a 7 year outdoor vinyl which is a more durable base material and if you want the printed graphics to be as durable I will need to laminate the finished print. Not a problem to do, just adds a bit of time and extra cost.

Cheers

Ollie- Thanks for the swift reply; the 2 examples above are perfectly adequate. No need to change or customize anything. When you have a cost plus shipping let me know. Can you price the Porsche and Ferrari separately please?

BTW- your son has wonderful taste in autos! His future looks quite bright in deed.

Regards- Matt

Hi Matt

I'll get straight on to it first thing Monday morning.

If you want other brand logos (Gulf etc) just shout as we have all of the artwork here for those too.

Cheers

Ollie

PS If you want to email me rather than doing this on here my email address is ollie@fireboxcreate.com

Chuck- thanks; I am trying to stay with traditional crest and will contact the seller to see what alternatives they have available.

Guys... as much fun as this is you must be careful. Porsche would eat your lunch if they knew this was happening. You are, whether you are in it for profit or for the fun of it, infringing upon a trademark that Porsche defends vigorusly. Please, please be careful they can and will outspend you in defence of their brand. Be safe. Mike

Buy them from Porsche http://parkplaceporsche.stores.yahoo.net/pocrst.html

I use the extra large version on my trailer and it's pretty darn big.

Tom- Thanks for the link. I was looking for some smaller sizes as well. While the X-large is big I need even larger versions (at least 24" wide) for the interior walls of my garage. Can you tell me how these hold up to the weather on the exterior of the trailer? - Matt
