« on: 25 April 2014, 04:25:19 pm »
Something we rarely see today, but was wondering if any foccers could make- Foc-u foccers zap stickers!! A mark to say foccers were there, or on other fazer shields when we see them so they can join this awesome site. Need a design making and it could have this web site address on. (Could also be used to wind kwakers up by zapping there shields!!on my travels the yank navy use these a lot for there units identity etc. We could all donate something for these and keep them under our seats, and donate the money to a charity?

Anyone any thoughts??

Zippy :faz

maybe easier to have a flyer that members could just print out in A5?

I think there used to be something like this which said something like "youve been Focced" on it :lol

Found this site. 


http://www.stickythings.co.uk/round-labels-stickers/waterproof-vinyl/62mm-diameter#.U1q1MHlwYiE


For 2000 custom stickers cost is £246 inc vat. Which equates to 13p~ a sticker.


If foccers want these zap stickers then a Donation of £2 gets you 10 zaps.  Any profit will go 100% to a charity, reading from previous recent posts there are some which are no doubt close to some people on this site.

[/size][size=78%]They are a bit of fun.. Going into a road side cafe... On the back of a toilet door or a bill board a foccers zap stares at you.[/size]


A photo album of the latest and bravest zaps? :rollin


Are there any foccers working at a printers? Any budding artists out there for a design?


Please give this some feedback.


No Not Foc Me! Foc U! :rollin

How about supporting a fellow Foccer, and asking OldMotherFoccer of Fat Maggot to make us some?

We had the exact same thread last year, but no one could agree on the design! :wall

Funnily enough, I might be able to help. I manage a Vehicle Graphics business - we mostly do emergency services vehicles and trucks, but we also do car graphics and full vehicle wraps. If someone could give me a copy of what needs doing - a photograph/picture of the FOC-u zap, and an approximate size, or range of sizes, I could see what we could do - and hopefully we can be cheaper than the on-line people mentioned earlier.

....... Well I cannot even draw stick people without them going wrong, so my artist skills are out. However seeing what some foccers can do on another post there will no doubt be some fantastic designs that people can do.

Not sure I like the idea if people putting stickers on other peoples bikes. If someone did that to mine, they may need a trip to A&E to recover my right boot!

We used to have "Calling cards" as a downloadable form on the site. Not sure if the document is still around or not as I don't have time to go looking at the moment. It was just a sheet of business card sized graphics advertising the website.
Another ex-Fazer rider that is a foccer again

Nor would I if I'm honest. I know it's all in good fun, but I still wouldn't want anything stuck to my bike I didn't want there.

The calling card thing was what I was thinking of too. A bit better solution to just have a small sheet of paper which you can just place on the bike and which can easily be removed. Plus it means anyone could print it out at home rather than posting loads of stickers.

Why have a simple solution, when you can have a complicated one? :wall

I agree. The only way this would work is if it's something like a Post-it, ie easy to peel off without leaving any damage or residue.

after hours of focus testing, back and forth to the printers, type setters, graphics department, materials, adhesive specialists, we have this:

Ha ha love it.


The first Foccer I ever met, the Sherminator?, way back in 2004 did just this. he left a little calling card on my Faz600 at Box Hill so there must be a template in the system somewhere?
I used to not give a foc, then I discovered Red Bull and now I don't give a flying foc !!!

I can do the hot pink you see above and "marigold yellow".  I could do seasonal colours in the future depending on demand....

Maybe the sticker idea was a bit :'( calling card sounds good though  :lol W you're correct in saying about the stickers.  Just one for the stickers though you choose the glue and this was for easy peel like what you get on fruit. Just food for thought :rolleyes

I was thinking more along the lines of putting the sticker on your own bike so other Fazer owners will know you are a member of FOC-U .
I for one do not like anyone putting anything on my bike calling card, sticker or ticket :)

I made about 6 different designs in the end... but you cant please everyone all the time. The graphics will still be on the original thread (and I still have high res ones on my computer)... If anyone would like the graphic in order to have some made/print some off then they just need to PM/email me and ill send it over :)
