Hey all,

Was wandering through the gallery and came across this image? Does anyone know anything about it? The email's a dead link and so is the web address (once you fix the spelling)....

https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/107568.jpg

But he's got the right idea. I mean, bus bug whatever we've got to show unity. And I kinda like the red-on-black old-communist-propaganda-poster look...that'd make a neat sticker. Anyone know of a good, affordable sticker shop?

How long is the line for one of those stickers? :D

Epson Sticker film for inkjet printers.
Would make a cool t-shirt as well.

NorCalWeekender Fri Sep 05, 2003 12:09 pm

Ooooh, it would make a cool shirt, wouldn't it? Frankly Sean, I think the line is now three people long...the three of us so far! Hmm...I'm surprised there are people interested in it. Figured I was the only weird one into stuff like that.

It would be the perfect shirt to wear at SF state in the quad at lunch! I believe that bus is from an old ad campaign of the 50's, it was also in the book "VW Bus/Transporter 1949-1967".
BTW Taylor, are you serious about a roo bar for your bus? I may have found a person who will make them.

That is way cool

I dunno I'm more fond of the ww2 German propaganda artwork, than the communist art. Someone should design a cool shrit or logo with a german propaganda influence.

NorCalWeekender Fri Sep 05, 2003 7:05 pm

Sean, I'd be curious to see the image you're talking about. I've looked closely at the image and it *seems* like it's a simple Photoshop trick called "Cutout". I've fiddled with that before just while I was bored.

And, for the record, I am serious about the roo bar (and I will email you those images), but I just need to convince my bank account to be serious about the roo bar!

Sorry to break in on your post, just trying to figure out if my picture is showing up.

LOL...I see the pic just fine...as for the Russian...can we get "People's Republik of Transport" translated into Cyrillic?

-Taylor

Barndoor Mafia Sun Sep 07, 2003 9:07 am

Yo Taylor, Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik is Russian for
Union Of Soviet Socialist Republic. Here is the translation for your request, "People's Republik of Transport" but in Cyrillic.

" люди республиканский транспорт "

My Russian is kinda rough! Don't get to practice it much! It would make a really cool t-shirt!!! "zaya beast" translation--FUCK YEAH!!!!!

Is that Cyrillic accurate? that's cool shit-

NorCalNick Sun Sep 07, 2003 8:54 pm

cool stuff....im down for a couple shirts if someone makes them.

Kaput Sun Sep 07, 2003 10:06 pm

I Have a Vinyl machine and could make these pretty easily. If there is enough intrest. I could make pretty much anything.

The Cyrillic would be really cool, but I have to agree that a German slant would be more appropriate.

Mike

NorCalWeekender Mon Sep 08, 2003 5:22 am

Paul and Kaput! I am down with a shirt and a sticker! I don't see any reason why not. But for the debate on English vs. Cyrillic, I think a lot more people (VW owners and otherwise) will understand it if it's in English.

Please please let me know if you get that going...and, for the record, I'm an XL. :)
