Car window decals - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

Hey gang, I'm looking for any suggestions for places that do business decals for car windows (rear window display)

Have no experience with the subject at all, and don't know what I'm even looking for exactly, but I want graphics and print on the rear window of my car.

Any advice?
Thanks!

Try Ignition, they are very impressive:

I know how great they have been for the work I asked them to do, I won't use anyone else. Great to work with as well.

If you have a pickup truck, please don't put a skull design on your back window . . . It screams "I'm a tool" with reckless abandon

Had these guys make up a bunch of decals for me and they were great.

Ask anyone from Newfoundland. They're sure to have a geography lesson in the back window of their lifted truck.

I saw a car once with the Nike swoosh logo over the entire back window. Still strying to figure that one out. Even if you own stock in the company or work for Nike it would still be ridiculously stupid.

The worse though, huge silver letters on the back of a pickup truck window: "Ballz Deep".

Are these things legal. After-market tinting is illegal (or at least a certain level of tinting is). I've ridden along with RCMP officers and we (well, he) wrote up a ticket for tinting.

I don't get the whole idea of arbitrarily putting a company logo on your car. Giant Nike logo? Gian DC logo? Wtf? Ooh, I get it, you like Nike. So do I. I also like Adidas, Apple, Microsoft, Classico, General Mills, Tylenol, Budweiser, Stanley, Goodyear, and Safeway.
Maybe I should put a giant Safeway logo on my car?

You can get a ticket for tint only if it's on the front windows.
Any tinted windows behind the B pillar of the car is legal as far as I know, regardless of the tint level.

I know someone who used Dublu and it was absolute GARBAGE.
I am staying clear from them, but thanks for the suggestions!

I promise not to put and music bands or Nike symbols on my car.
It's my own business that I'm trying to promote.

I'll pop a pic up after it's done and review whoever I do get to do it.
Thanks again for the help!

crappy, most stuff i seen done by him looked great, but it only takes one bad job and someone not fixing it.

Yes it is. Provided that it is not on your front windshield, the driver and passenger window. You are allowed to tint any of the rear windows.

Ok, so I finally had my window decals done.

Here's what I found...

Dublu, although I swore to not go to them because of a friends' experience, were actually awesome to deal with, but I still didn't end up using them anyway, although I take back any negativity I said about them after a chat with the owner.

Classic Auto Graphics I forget the guy I dealt with, but he was awesome. Super nice. When I left, he told me he would have a the proof ready for me within 2 days. 1 week went by before I emailed him to follow up. He apologized and gave me the standard BS excuse that they were extremely busy (ie: I forgot about u) and that he would email me the next day. Never came, so I moved on.

Beta Cuts Tried really hard to go here, but he was only available after 5pm most nights and it just never worked with my schedule. Seemed like a nice guy and knew what he was talking about. Price quoted was decent too.

Icon tint and graphics Dude here was awesome to deal with. Could tell he really knew his stuff. I did as told and emailed their graphic designer and didn't get a reply for a week. I called, and they said they never got my email (checked on my end and it went through to the correct email) and then the price they quoted me was quite a bit more expensive that what I've heard.

WeDoSigns.ca are located just off Memorial and 36th, in a private house similar to BetaCuts. Met the owner, Bruce, today for the install and he's absolutely AMAZING at what he does. Super quick too (emailed him my design 2 days ago and it was installed within 45 minutes today). The work is amazing and he charged almost half of what IconTint and Graphics wanted. They also do all types of signage and as far as window decals go, I would strongly recommend these guys based on my experience and that of the friend who referred me here. Just no complaints at all.

And here's what he did:
