MSWCC Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 OK, so here is what I'm looking for, a big freakin logo to put on the door of my truck. First off, I'm new to this board. I'm on at GLG and FISD. I'm still an NCS for events but working my way to being a full 501st member. Here is what I was thinking of doing. I have a brown Blazer and was thinking of a way to turn it into a "police" type vehicle for the 501st. Since it's brown the MEPD seemed to fit right along with what I was goin for. I can add lights and such from anywhere, but what I would need is a big old logo for the door, similar to a police shield (actually two, one for each side.) Does such a thing exist? Does someone have a vector image of the logo that could be taken to a shop for printing one off? I know there are rules around these logos and such so I want to be sure not to violate them but I think it would be cool to have the MEPD truck parked out front of the events, or leading the group in a parade, or part of the display area. Feel free to comment or help a guy out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to comment or help a guy out. Thanks. Cool idea with good intentions.....wouldn't recommend a mimicking a police vehicle though. I can quote you many laws from here in Texas but I'd seek out your state's statutes (lights and color of lights, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can quote you many laws from here in Texas but I'd seek out your state's statutes (lights and color of lights, etc). Fore sure legal all the way, the State of Michigan does have rules on color of lights and such. I will be looking more into the decals, I don't think there would be any issue with that unless it involved reflective paint, which I was not planning on. I was thinking yellow lights on the roof and some variations of flashing with existing front and rear lights. But yes, a good idea to check out state laws. Thanks for the feedback.

chuckrick Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Currently there is no such item as a large decal like you are talking about. And if one was produced it would need to be approved by the Legion Merchandising Officer and then would only be sold to 501st Legion members.

MSWCC Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 ... would only be sold to 501st Legion members. I figured that could be where I get caught up on this one. I suppose the truck will have to come after the armor then. Just wanted to check it out. Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertrooper Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 So its not a blazer...but something like this? took me about 15 minutes in photoshop but i think it would be sweet......almost like the Airforce truck I used to see at my high school drill meets when I was in rotc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk-4224 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 yeah i think it´s better to have an MEPD truck instead of a MPED truck :lol supertrooper great work looks very cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the colors would "pop" more. Then instead of call 911 like on police cars, put call 501. Now I'll have to find a blazer image and do my own mockup. If I only had the time.

Daetrin Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Send a ping to TK-4510 on the FISD boards. He does custom stuff like this, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
