I took that roadster logo and simplified it to be closer to the coupe logo we were using:



Let's make them jealous.
Santov.... the guys at work are jealous of my polo... I mentioned it was custom and maybe 1 of 15 in the world.... Some recognized the logo from the stickers on my windows. Exclusive drives some of them nuts....

I myself would prefer a few more polo's, heck I'll take a large silver one right now!

I like the lines on the vert.... somehow put that and the ZPOST together....a sure winner.

I flipped the roadster so it points to the right, which matches the direction we read and the coupe logos I did.

What do you guys think about putting this roadster and Zpost or z4 on the back center of the shirt (like between and above should blades):



...or this...



and this on the chest (or viceversa)...



Nobody wants DTC OFF? Look at this crap for $45!! It's not embroidered, just cheapo screen printed!

Nice....

I'll take two:

1) Polo same as last time - with ZPost - DSC off with the first logo on the back

2) Polo with 3rd design on chest left side and 2nd logo on the back.

Can't wait

I'm not screen printing, I've been embroidering the designs. First I convert the graphics to machine directions (digitizing), then I use my wife's machine to stitch the patterns (embroidery).

It started as a fun project for the guys and gals here. It's ballooned into a little side gig. Check out the samples above/below.

EDIT: I removed the old pics... see below for the finished & updated designs.

Ok Bucko521 feast your eyes! Sorry everybody for the jumbo picture with shit quality/lighting. It's late and I wasn't in the mood to fuss with the DSLR.

I didn't get a chance to do this sooner, been busy with work and didn't get back to Costco to get your other shirt until a couple days ago.

I just finished rendering the graphics and fixing the roadster outline. I did a test run with several colors to see what popped. I only used a black shirt, I'm going to sleep on the color palette for your blue shirt.


Top design is metallic gunmetal roadster with ZPOST done in bright grey. I don't like how the metalic threads "pucker" so that's out. I think I'm going to go with a white roadster and grey ZPOST on the BLACK shirt. [chest design]

Bottom design is bright white roadster with light blue Z4. I think I'm going to go with bright white roadster and red Z4 on BLUE shirt. [back design]

This one is my favorite...

The Hiraldric eagle is done in royal blue and the Z4 is done in bright copper. I LOVE how the pattern and color of the copper came out. It looks like real freakin' copper! I'm undecided if they go together, but it is a larger design and I think it would make a good back design, I think it's too big to sport on the chest. I say these colors (I might change my mind) on the back of the BLACK shirt.


And since you have the old ZPOST w/ DSC OFF in black I'll put the old design on the chest of your BLUE shirt (so you can switch it up at work).

What do you think? Comments?

The second roadster looks very smooth.. great work. Although I like the ZPost rather than the Z4, as I'd already have the Z4 on the back? --> The bird and copper Z4 look awesome... and would work on the back!

So I take it the back design will be upper centre (between high on shoulder blades) ??

Sure duplicate the same design for the Blue shirt... I am sure this will look awesome as well.


Thank you very much.... I am not sure who is more excited...you for designing and creating these, or me waiting for these!

New & Improved!

Well after thinking about it I decided I wanted to fatten the roadster lines and clean up some of the details. I resized the logo so the ZPOST and Z4 text would be larger.

I'm happy with the extra work! The glare from the camera flash doesn't really do the shirts justice.

White roadster with silver ZPOST


Blue Hiradldric Eagle with Copper Z4


Our original ZPOST (grey) with Orange DSC OFF


White roadster with red Z4



These shirts have two designs, so price jumps from $36 to $40, just to cover the materials for the 2nd design.

Let me know what you guys think!
