Looks cool

Ace · Aug 10, 2014

Get license rights from the joe network and make a few bucks. Looks good.

JediTT · Aug 10, 2014

I would buy this.

rjmara · Aug 10, 2014

That would look good in my truck window,Let us know if Joe lets you roll with it.I'd take a couple.

CaFF · Aug 10, 2014

Don't have a truck, but a smaller removable vinyl version would be pretty cool on my laptop or vape tackle-box.

Smoky Blue · Aug 10, 2014

I want one!!

would love to collect some bumper stickers for my car..

rdwilliamson · Aug 11, 2014

Glad you guys like it. Have to see what Joe thinks.

If someone can point him to here that would be great. I can't start a conversation with him through the forums

Brilliant

Savage_46 · Aug 12, 2014

I'd really like to see this officially happen. Pending the price, I'd be in for a few. I'd like a few different colors too. And obviously, different styles.

Chowder · Aug 13, 2014

I'd take 10! and as for someone pointing Joe here, just call his name and he will magically appear! Like this:

HEY @VaporJoes! Pay freaking attention ^^^^^^^!

cheetodog · Aug 13, 2014

Id stick one on my hana

At *least* ten. And in different colors.

Garemlin · Aug 13, 2014

Cool!!! I'd take smaller ones for my car, bike helmet and vape toolbox.

Same.. if it was smaller like the apple logo sticker.. I would be all over this. would match my new white car!

rdwilliamson · Aug 13, 2014

I can make them all different sizes and colors. I am ready to roll as soon as we get the go ahead from Joe.

The one on my truck is around 6" and I could sell it for 5 bucks.

I like it and would want a couple. Maybe 1/2 sized if possible? @VaporJoes take your 10% royalty fee and give him the nod to print!

rdwilliamson · Aug 13, 2014

Hey Joe, let me send you a few and have you check them out. Just tell me a couple of sizes you want. Smaller ones would look good on a box mod.

Singing to the tune of "Frosty the snowman":

There must must not of been magic in that old silk hat I found, because when I said @VaporJoes, he was nowhere to be found. Oh @VaporJoes is missing, and nowhere to be found. He must be in a bed somewhere and surely sleeping sound. If we could only get his attention, I know he would abound!

Dumdadee dumb dumb Dumdadee dumb dumb where is @VaporJoes, Dumdadee dumb dumb Dumdadee dumb dumb he's missing some cash and doe.

I'm sure there are other verses, but I just can't seem to remember them right now!

glassgrl · Aug 13, 2014

Want. I would definitely put that on my truck.

LadyBren · Aug 13, 2014

I'd love to hang that on my truck as well. (good way to talk about it)
I have a white truck too, so now I know what it would look like.

I likie, likie.
Bet you never thought that a rainy day of being board would bring all this, Good job.

No kidding. Just hope it gets approved so everyone that wants them can get them.

Anyone else I can contact about selling these?

I hate that people want them and I can't get them done. I just don't want to get in trouble for doing it without permission.

I love the idea about a vinyl version for my laptop or even a smaller sticker.

Well, not sure who in particular, but this'll help: http://vapingunderground.com/members/?type=staff

No, you can't PM Joe, but the Staff you can.

If you want to tag/alert a member to this thread, just type @ then their username, no space between.

Very nice like it a lot. Now would you thing it would be better with a .com on the end or maybe VapingUnderGround.com like that?

LucidiousRage · Aug 22, 2014

I like it too.... I was thinking though maybe put the .com in the ampty part of the wrist? or in line with the vaping underground like it should be. I do like it though. I'd be happy to sport one or several. GOOD work @rdwilliamson

LucidiousRage · Aug 22, 2014

lol well, looks like you now have the endorsement of 4 out of 5 main people that built the underground, and I'm sure the 5th (tyger) would love it too. I would like to see it as "VapingUnderground.com" though so that people know where to go to check it out.

rdwilliamson · Aug 22, 2014

Here is the png image.

I will get some things together and let everyone know what the sizes will be,prices and other info. After that I will take orders.

Thanks everyone.

Damn, how'd they get that to scale up so well? Was it a Vector image to start with?

490 x 445 pixels is about pocket logo size at 300DPI for printing...if that.

If converted to Vector, it could be scaled to any size though.
Photoshop/Illustrator can do it pretty easy with a B/W image like that. Lemme know if ya need it done.

Perhaps it's me being OCD, but the text seem a tad bit lopsided towards CCW on the rotation?
I assume the text is on a path, so shouldn't be hard to move it a tad with Grids turned on to align it.....unless I'm seeing things

Also, don't put a space in the URL. Try it, it won't resolve to the site, you'll hit Google.

Thanks though, it's a nice clean image.

Hey Joe, since your logos and graphics would likely have been done by an artist originally, do you have rights to use them to produce merch?

I'd hate to see a lawsuit over "fair use" and graphics work. Trust me, I've been involved in that mess before both as an artist and as a user.

Unless, of course, someone on Staff did them and it's cool.

rdwilliamson · Aug 22, 2014

I will check the alignment before I cut them.

This image gets traced and smoothed before being sent to the cutter so it actually turns out better than the png.

Emilie · Aug 23, 2014

Do you need a vector for your cutter?

Was this done in Illustrator or Photoshop?

If you need an eps, I can have one for you in moments. I made one for 3d printing a VU stand.

I don't know who the fist is originally credited to, or if there is a copyright attached to it, but I've seen it elsewhere for several other uses. I'm pretty sure it's clipart, or a re-purposed logo.

Hahaha....can we add Vaping Underground on that wikipedia article for "groups that have used the symbol".

lol

Ah, that's cool. Don't mind me, I'm just paranoid.

Rightfully so.

I know I wouldn't like my artwork stolen.

What I was thinking is more along the lines of contracts. Now, if Joe or someone on the team just Photoshopped that up, then not a problem.

But, if they used a graphic artist and usage of their work for merch wasn't specified, that'd go badly. Also, if they used a commercial clipart they just found on the Internet and used it without compensation.

Sites like Tineye and the like are always being used by folks to find stolen IP. Just because it's on the Internet doesn't mean it's Free.
