Boards.ie Car Sticker - how big? [ 8x8.6cm wins]

Dav

We need to know how big to make the stickers, please choose.

dgt

Is there a possibility of a poll?

Myself I'd be personally happy with something a similar size of a radio sticker

corktina

I went for the smallest size although I always think the Hertz number 1 sticker which is tiny is very noticeable.

Cleveland Hot Pocket

I think either option 2 or 3 imo.

this is like a secret society, we need to come up with a hand shake next.

47 in morse is (....- --...)

will take me a while to flash that out on my rear fog lamp

Chris_Heilong

It should be subtle, not a flashy in your face kind of thing, it should not take away from the look of our cars so I voted the smallest size. I almost feel like those that want it big expect to see someone with the sticker while driving and make a sort of...connection;)

12 inch sunstrip... Ah no the 8x8 sounds fine to be honest, nothing too big!

I already have one of those for the truck (in fairness it is sitting on my kitchen table currently)
I think two sunstrips is getting too far into ricer territory for my liking - lets stick to the tax disc sizes :p:p:D:D

YbFocus

Yep I think slightly smaller to tax disc sized would be good

I'm fitting a diode + 1 resistor to my headlight circuit for my 'boards flash' mod.

This way I'll get one 'eye' open and one 'eye' half-open.

I shall be retailing it at €75 a pop :pac:

Oh, and flash 'in blue' will be and extra € 10 :pac: :pac: :pac:

I'll forward your offer to the back office that will handle it.

I'm not sure how no one noticed it yet, but tax disc is a circle of the 7.5cm diameter.
So first option in the poll is already bigger then tax disc.
Second one is good bit bigger.
Third option is over twice bigger than tax disc (5.5 times the area).

This is just to clarify for anyone voting.

RandomAccess

So apparently we can use them as tax discs?

Yes but only forward, you are unable to use these for previous months, if you want to do that just change ownership and when you get the book back place the sticker on the window.

Simples.

Dav

Ah feck ye lads, it's pretty much split between options 1 and 2, which side of things do I err on? Option 1 has 1 more vote, so I guess we're going with that, everyone ok with this?

Close the poll quick!

Quantity over quality? That's a very American view :P

comment was a little tongue in cheek, but an extra 440 mm² of vinyl on my rear window never hurt. :P

We're 3 votes ahead now

CiniO

Here's to visualise the scale of proposed sizes.

Those who voted for "smaller than tax disc" might be surprised that it's actually slightly bigger.
And those voting for slightly bigger, might be surprised that it's good bit bigger.

I voted for 8cm x 8.6cm, and as we are loosing by now, I'm just trying to convince whoever voted for 10x10.8 to change their mind

Ded_Zebra

Thanks for that cinio:)

There is no option to change your vote though. "You have already voted on this poll".

I still think the chosen entry look like a sad/bad/mad smiley though.

This thread has been up a week and will close later today at some point.
Currently 8cm is leading by 3 votes.

tossy

Thanks for the picture CiniO i think 8cm's is actually a perfect size now from looking at it.

biko

Oops, forgot about this.
Ok, so we have a winner. 8x8.6cm

I am closing size competition and sending results to back office.
They will get back to us in due course with how to order and pay for stickers.
