Title: Thinking of making some parts, what do you think?
Post by: lk_97 on December 05, 2011, 07:59 PM: Following on from my last thread, I have been thinking about making some parts, and maybe even a small company. I am thinking of calling it something like 'lk bmx products' and will be making 80's re issue parts. I have came up with a few logo's aswell. Firstly I am going to make some stickers once I've picked a logo, and most likely give them out, then make some number plates and sell them, and then get some bars made. Here are the logo's I have drawn, tell me which one you like best, and what colours I should have them in. Oh and the plates will most likely be stadium plates with the chosen logo as the only sticker.

Here are the pics, and yes the pictures will be better when they're done on my computer:

Race plate style, with font(all the normal type font is the same as on general bmx and legal action bmx, what font is this?)

Same font as above.

Not so keen on this one, but thought I might as well include it.

Quite like this one, the bubble font is the same as the holeshot one, what font is this called? And what colours would it look good in?

Thanks, Lucas. :daumenhoch:

Post by: deeman on December 05, 2011, 09:22 PM: I think the second logo is the best by far Lucas.just remember,make sure you think you can sell a product,maybe worldwide i.e ebay and that there is a big enough demand for whatever you are going to produce.There would be nothing worse than forking out for a load of materials and producing a whole heap of items you may be stuck with.If you can produce something in low volume and to order i.e numberplates and at a price people want to pay,then you are onto a winner.I think it's a great idea,after all thats how bob haro started.maybe in 2 or 3 years time we will see some LK framesets for sale??!! :daumenhoch:

Thankfully they got the spelling right before they went into production
