"Livery and Let Die...."
« on: December 20, 2014, 02:58:07 pm »
just finished the design/print/install on this job for Sydney Mustang Parts.
nice to do livery for a customer with the right branding on it!
also great to see dino escorting showbags to them this morning when i was dropping it off.
(and yep that sound you can hear is me blowing my own trumpet....)  :pepper:

Looks great Griff! But shouldn't the Mustang be running the other way (always forward, never backwards???)

no mate, to my understanding the pony branding is head on the left, poop chute on the right.   :event:  regardless of the substrate and if that be the case he'd be squaring off with the tribar logo.
i do subscribe to the facing forward rule for most things but in this case i was reluctant.
although theres no specific branding standard for this icon (that im aware of)  most corporate branding guidelines state how their logo/icon is to be positioned. hey even i have standards ya know!
having said all that, i just took to my grille horse and corral with some multigrips to get Neddy to face forward instead of side on, he wasnt keen on the idea....  :grin:

and keith, no he didnt ...  ha ill never admit to it!

Just wondering about the tri bar fender emblems on both driver and passenger side - both facing forward.  :shrug:

thanks for articles stephen, great info indeed.

andrew, i wasnt aware of those differing badges you posted either, interesting to see that.
now all i gotta do is a bit of stealth by night and reverse your badges heading ass first! :evilone:
next ute ill do is throw a shetland pony on it, lying belly up...

I was wondering how come you see patches of the US flag facing backwards on some uniforms; it happens when the patch is on the right side; the stars are always facing the person's front.  It's symbolic of the flag on flagpole when charging toward the enemy and the flag flowing behind the flagpole.
