Hi Ari
That's the one I thought was real messy and too busy.
PS - I thought we are a Niva 4x4 forum not a "mod" forum ;D

Hi All I think our picture of a lada on the sticker should be representive of our forum. Our forum is one of the few forums that encourages mods, improvements etc, and is not one of the " keep it original" forums. This is why I think we should use a slightly modified lada (such as a winch,or a bullbar, or raised slightly), but not so much so that it is not easily recognisable. Ari

It would be nice to have the flags of all countries involved in the Lada on the sticker.
The Russian flag for build and design, the Italian flag for the drive train and SA for the country the vehicles are used in.
Regards.
Hercules

Here's revision 1.2. Sorry there's not another one, but my wife is starting to give me the "you spend more time with those guys than with me" treatment, so I'd better behave. I'll have another revision tomorrow night if you'd all like it. Laters. Attachments:

Quite nice Darryn.
I know the red is suppose to be at the top - not sure if anyone would have a problem if the colors point downwards.

Hi Darryn
Thats very good.
And about the wife, the lada tends to do that, my step mom got to the stage where my father had to choose , the lada or her , so he came up with a smart plan. He kept her and gave the lada to me.

Nice one Darryn! Only complaint is that the font is very difficult to read though.

Hi Hercules Here is a download link about the Niva's history ladaniva.co.uk/baxter/resources/Ivans_History_of_Niva.docThough the original Lada is a basic Fiat 128 the Niva was a "pure" Soviet development with some Fiat components. The Soviets did consider a straight Fiat 4x4 copy but it was considered inferior PS - I always tell curious people that the Niva has some Ferrari pedigree ;D (Fiat bought Ferrari recently)

Hi Darryn
As long as you have the Hammer and Sickle you have my vote. When you have the flag vertical there is a right and wrong way. I think Blue to the left is correct.
Regards
Ronnie

Hi All
I do not know why Darryn is a bit quite - maybe he is still designing stickers ?
Tomorrow is suppose to be the last day for discussion - or shall we wait a bit longer ?
Perhaps we could paste all different samples under one post to make things easy.
Regards
Danie

Hi Ronnie
Pity - your Niva is to my mind a great mod. Anyways the Vanchester one is a white object against a white background - real nightmare for a designer and the pic is not great quality AND it's too standard for some ;D
Thanks anyways
Regards Marius

OK kids- sorry for my absence, Telkom and my wife double-teamed me. All my flag configurations are spot on, so do not worry! I have entered my last two designs, now it is up to all you esteemed gentlemen. I always go for performance over technique, so the font stays. It is that cool. If I open my Adobe suite to work once more my wife will swat me on the head. She might be small, but I do not want a head-swatting from her. I hope you like these. Good luck choosing. Laters.

Hi Darryn/Danie I see the beginnings of a trend here - small hard swatting wives ;D Just imagine all of them on our trip through Southern Africa Talking about gorgeous woman - I would like to see more female members on this forum. I saw 2 young ladies yesterday in a green Niva marked USSR Army - probably students at Potch.

Hi Ronnie
Due to lack of time on my side I couldn't use your pics of your Niva - REAL sorry for the trouble you took - I will have to make it up to you somehow.
I did however "stole" your spotlights to add a bit of "aggression" to the Niva - hope you don't mind.
I will post my final sticker designs in a new thread.
Regards Marius

It might take some time to set up the Poll, so it might only be available late this evening. Your patience in this regard will be appreciated. Regards Danie
