Since we are unable to use the bolt face sticker anymore I thought I would come up with a new design. The idea is for it to be easy to identify to us but not the general public.
Now my art skills suck and I am guessing any number of people here can clean it up.

I would use the silhouette of a .223 round.

I think one of the points made with the original design was to disassociate it from guns in the eyes of the general public. People had concerns of their vehicle being targeted for a brake in as there may be a weapon inside. Having a bullet may give that impression.

Why no more bolt face sticker logo? I loved it!
That is pretty cool for a guy "sucky" art skills [Tooth].
I just love the Colorado flag on anything; one of the coolest parts of the Pro Cycling Tour was all the Colorado flags on the roadside.
I'll take an order of 5 please! That's awesome Mobat, and you're art skills are actually really good... we are our own worst critic at times.

I have the idea but not the computer design savvy of applying my idea.
How about replacing the AR bolt face with a muzzle break/flash suppressor and looking down the rifling???
just a thought...[Beer]

I see a bullet in the current design, just thought that would make it AR related..
I don't put stickers, website or otherwise on my stuff for that reason exactly.

+1 Like it. Maybe a bit too big background though.

It just clicked in my head as to what I was looking at. Makes much more sense now, I was seeing something completely different.
I think it is really cool and would definitely buy one to put on my car.

Dude, if you turn the colorado "C" 90 degrees clockwise, and lessen the gap of the "c" a little, its already done for you. [ROFL1]

The end. Right here, right now. Please for the sake of God do NOT bring up the old stickers at all.
Do not talk about them, do not, do not, do not.
It is a long story. From this point on any and all talk about the old stickers will be dealt with. [Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang][Bang][Coffee]
Next mention of "that shall not be mentioned anymore", Will earn a few days off. We have been over this. So, unless you are a trademark attorney, willing to do pro-bono work, Don't mention it Thank you. Marlin
Why happened now with the old one? I knew nothing.

So i'm almost done making a vector version of this new one, and I just noticed (along with a co-worker): the selector really looks weiner-ish.
Just my thought...I dunno if i would put one on my car after noticing that now [Coffee]

Add contour lines likes on a real selector to break it up a bit.

I don't like Mobat's design. (Sorry, Mobat. The art is good, it's the concept I'm not digging so much) I did like the idea someone mentioned earlier about the flash hider and looking down the barrel though. If my computer skills didn't suck so much I would try to throw a design together.
That part's very close in proximity to the bolt, better delete it!!!!

No worries Ray, would happily explore other designs that meet the current guidelines.

So here's the vector cleaned up version, plus with the newer accurate flag colours. I tried adding some contour lines to the white part, but it just looked too weird.
I'm working on a more subtle version right now, and will upload shortly for review

Here's a little change I tried; let me know what you think. Instead of having the rounded selector, why not just drag the white across, but leave the C like a selector, which would be a really subtle way to suggest what it is.
I threw text on it for the hell of it; I personally don't care if I have gun stickers on my car, and I can remove that easy if people like something like this

Can we make the safe/fire more apparent? Otherwise I have no qualms with it. (with that text should probably be removed).

I must have missed something...
What is the problem with the bolt face sticker?

I keep trying to find out the same thing. I regretted not buying more BEFORE I knew they were unable to even make any more. Now I'm REALLY kicking myself for not buying more.

Yeah, I'd like to know too, and why people are acting so butt hurt about it...
I'll remove that text, and maybe bold the safe and fire indicators a bit. Will reupload something in a while

Another site got pissed that it looked too much like theirs and we were threatened with a suit.
End of story.
Please drop it. Please. We dont need the grief.

I made the lines a bit thicker. that work?
Feels a bit off balance to me since there's nothing on the right side. I dunno, whatever you guys want, let me know. I just make stuff

So is HK Or POF going to threaten to sue us now?
I really liked the old design in big part because it was so esoteric.
Not to diminish the work mobat an ghetodub have dun, but what about using the attached object I designed? I'm not going to say what it is (cause if nobody recognizes it than its a dumb idea [Tooth]).

What about putting the FA indicator on the right side? It's what's there on mil weapons

I like it.. similar to what I was thinking... figured an A2 flash hider is more common on AR's and only firearm owners would recognize it. I'm also thinking about the the front sight tower... sorry... to much ideas[Bang]

Really like the suddle appoach. I like the idea of the community understands and recognizes but the average person doesn't think twice about it.
