This. The other items you've offered for sale look fine without the Ford logo.rpm3dinc said:Using the Ford Logo will require Ford Licensing and Design Approval from Ford.
So not sure I want to travel down that road or not.

I'd like it to look exactly like the actual plate (photo below) including the Ford logo (and straight, of course).
After looking at the photo I think it would look nice to make the banner taller than the plate and include the silver vertical lines (above and below) that are on the manifold. This would also give you more leeway on proportion as you could include however much of the lines that works best.

As far as making the banner taller and including the intake moldings, that should be doable.
GottaBoss said:I saw this banner on EBay and thought it was pretty cool. I'd buy one if they' make it for the Boss. Anyone else interested?
Post here if you'd buy one for the Boss and if there's enough interest I'll send a link of this thread to the vendor and ask if they'll do it.

rpm3dinc said:It's not so much about the approval process as it is the cost of the licensing. Which could be anywhere from $5,000 to $25,000, and that's only after they approve you to "receive a license".
I simply don't have that kind of money to put into a license, which is why all the stuff I have done doesn't have the Ford Logo.
Why there are ways around every license, I would prefer to do it the right way. Especially if using the Ford Logo is something you all want.
Maybe it's better if this other company that does the banners create something for us.
I don't think I could get close to their $29.99 price anyways.
Noellenchris said:This may be a little out there, but if you recreate the vin plate without the oval Ford logo, I'm sure I can find an oval ford bumper sticker or the like cheap to place on the banner. I'd search for the sticker first and we could order a bunch of them. But like you said, it probably wouldn't be very profitable to try and beat $29.99. That's cheap.

rpm3dinc said:That is certainly an option (Ford Logo Sticker) that you can you put on there if you want it.
Now its about getting to a price point close to what the other company offers, which will be difficult. They obviously print their own banners, where I have to outsource that job, and $29.99 doesn't even cover the Banner Material according to one of my Outsourcing printers. So let me do some more digging and see what I can figure out.
In the meantime, it might be worth it to at least get in contact with this company and see what they would do on a BOSS PLATE Banner. Or if they would even consider doing one...
I will get pricing for a 18" X 66" and a 35" by 65" banner (larger banner for the Intake parts)
Then we could go from there, as I should be able to have pricing next week.
Sound Good?
GottaBoss said:I received a reply from RidgeTop Designs this morning. They are willing to work on a banner for us. The pricing for similar sizes is expected to be the same as their Bullitt banners. Although they didn't say specifically, my understanding is that the Ford logo would be included.
They are a little busy right now but will be sending me a proof of the design later this week. I'll keep everyone updated via this thread.
