A couple of similar fonts on there, but no 'Curlz'...

M'kay...
Difficult seeing as how the Beemer has very sparse plastics...
My first effort;

Kept colours plain until you advise what, if any, changes you'd like Gio.
The main font is 'Jokerman' and the secondary font is 'Academy Engraved'. Both free to use but also open to change if you fancy something else.
Let me know...

have not had much chance to work on anything as yet, but I think a relish jar with the name top and bottom would work well

as for the numbers etc - just mirror the Beemers colour - blue on black, black on blue

Oh - and the name curlz can't be used or people get upset and start sueing... I reckon there will be bugger all difference with one of those you used :)

Something along these lines maybe?...

All colours are open to change as required, (the jar-logo looks a bit 'peanut-butterish' to me!).

Wasnt sure if I could use an actual photo of a relish jar with the 'Just Relish' logo on top; Prolly cost more to produce, (assuming the sticker maker can even do em)?
So I went for a more graphical jar.
I figured another jar-logo on the rear-facing end of the top pannier as well?
I didnt put much on the side panniers due to the irregular surface; Would be hard to apply stickers to em!

Thoughts?...

i was thinking of a jar, like an old fashioned mustard pot - earthenware, with a spoon coming out of the top. The words Just Relish over or under it - and curved appropriatly

want me to pm you with a quick sketch? am lathe to stop fettling the falco atm - just bolted on a very rough tail tidy that will get me by for the moment... and have a new mille shock to test ... and it seems my baffles are very loose and may fall out on this current test so I can see if they are illegal

(For those that don't know, Porcus Mobilius in Suffolk are VERY good at hearing illegelality and I will no doubt get pulled with in seconds of starting it if it is not kosher!)

I saw the clearest option would be just to sack the BM and buy a Triumph Tiger.

Graphics? Hmm.. Cant do much with 'Paint'

OK so I have only looked at page 2 of this thread........

but.... W.T.F. ??

Does Gio intend to follow the Pizza delivery bike around?

Gio has a very successful catering business. His bike provides quite effective advertising when it's parked up in his local area.

Right idea there, but why not use the silver bit on the tank?

That fonts horrid, looks like a spider walked all over it (Sorry)

Not sure about the jam jar tho, it looks a bit odd

Applying transfers to the bumpy panniers isn't a problem, the ones on our van have been there 5 years and they'll not fall off or peel easily.

I dunno, thats the first time ive seen that font actually used to any decent effect! I reckon it looks ok! like the edges of that posh lettuce crap.. the dark coloured stuff..
