GM to preview 6 Camaro stripes / graphics packages at SEMA (for voting) - Page 12 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Grandeos · 10-23-2009, 03:03 PM

I DONT LIKE ANY OF THEM. Im sorry, but I have seen better graphics in the Need for Speed video games, and I thought those were hideous!!

Dear Ed Welburn (VP of Global Design),

Do you really think that THIS is worth the amount of money that it takes to run that "Accessories Studio" ?? I am sorry, but those graphics are pathetic. It probably took a grand total of 2 hours to do ALL of those 6 examples in Photoshop, and they are horrible. I was never a fan of GM, actually in all honesty, I was the first one to knock on GM at any given chance, but I fell in love with the Camaro and bought one at soon as i could!! That being said, do the car some credit and put some effort into it. PASSION is what made this car a hit, and PASSION is what will keep it successful. Those 6 proposals look half-ass and like there was no thought into it what so ever. And as a Camaro owner, and a newly-converted GM-believer, I AM OFFENDED!

I would be more than happy to provide my "two cents" if you would like to hear/see it.

Please do yourself, and your fans a favor and get rid of these LAME designs/designers, and give the next generation a chance!"

Those suck.

If this is what they release at SEMA, I feel everyone's pain on this one.. This is a step backwards for the company. They should let go of the people that came up with these decals quickly and hire new workers that can come up with much better looking decal designs. They should hire Jinx or some of the other photoshop specialists in this forum to get them to come up with better stripe drawings.. I can tell you right now, the winner of all of these will be the simplest looking design...

No actually they shouldn't be worrying about decals at all. Its this kind of shit, plus the cancellation of ABM, that has me no longer even considering buying a Camaro.

Seems like most Camaro owners are......See below

It definitely looks like they are trying to bring in the younger import crowd...

From a marketing stand point why not try some non traditional stuff to bring in some new customers? SEMA is a good show to appeal to a different market......

The good news for us is we don't have to put it on our cars...
EXACTLY!!!!

I didn't hate the designs but wouldn't put em on my car either...
WORD! But Im all for GM trying to make a few more bucks...

My guess is this is more of a marketing move... Just a guess.

DING DING DING!!

Pretty much agree with ya on all fronts.... Just adding my two cents

good job chevy, first taking away ABM, and now introducing sh!tty pep boys like decals? Good job trying to make the camaro look as redneck as possible.

pacecar · 10-23-2009, 03:27 PM

THEY ALL SUCK!! PUT THEM ON THE IMPORTS!! HOCKEY STRIPE, SINGLE "MOTION" STRIPE, RS Z-28 STRIPES, OR 2010 TWO-TONE -- ONLY

This is the only one I like at all. Fail for the rest

ShnOmac · 10-23-2009, 03:45 PM

Lets all just take a deep breath and relax..... If they are not for you then you dont have to put them on your car! Its all about marketing and "earning" new customers. Why are people bashing GM for trying to make new customers? Just because you dont like something does not mean GM sucks or messed up.... It just means that option is for someone other than you.....

68RS · 10-23-2009, 03:52 PM

I do agree that they need to be symmetrical. I don't really like any of these as I do think that most of these are too busy. I prefer the longitudinal stripes, basic and easily recognized at a distance. If you get too complex then I think it detracts from the car. However, that being said, I know that the Camaro is made to be customized. So I'm glad to see GM is seeking alternatives. For me, I just like the Bumblebee stripes!

s3d83d · 10-23-2009, 03:53 PM

Is it just me, or does the one on the bottom right, with the checkered flag, look funny? It looks like the fender has been crushed in or scraped against a wall.

I don't think I would like any of these on my car!
