New ExplorOz spare wheelcovers?

I like the concept and I like the motto.

But, errr ... does it have to be a Jeep? LOL

Jeeps would look OK if the smoke came off the car? lol

Perhaps a 40 series would look the part?

No van or C/T is quite OK

No C/van or C/t does not matter at all.My thoughts are that the graphics should prompt the viewer to ask two questions
who is Exlpor Oz?

what do they do ?

Just a thought RegardsJohn Y

The concept is great however just remember the old rule we worked on in my advertising days
KISS ("keep it simple stupid " ) in other words try not to make it too busy
and try and keep it generic. unless you have sponsor in mind

great idea though time for new wheel covers on both spares at this end

just adding my 2 bob's worth

I would not buy one if the vehicle depicted was not the same as mine.
Problem is I drive a "minority" vehicle and will be discriminated against in that regard. :(

The only option for me then would be a wheel cover with no vehicle depicted at all unless you embrace the best of modern technology, have a library of graphics which include dozens of popular vehicles and some less popular ones too.

It is not a big deal these days to ink jet each item to order, (not sure about funny shapes though?)
2 colours, 3 sizes (??) of covers in stock, all blank....,......
"Please send me a large white one with design # 154 (which is also 4 colour)."
Take a blank one off the shelf, place in printer, choose design from the menu, print. All done in 30 seconds.

Everyone gets a design they like and want and it becomes a personal "must have" at a premium price, if you choose. Or the customer provides their own digital design (you add the ExplorOz bit around the outside).

Worth some investigation?
You can already buy an ink jet printed carpet for your lounge room floor. Mine will have a map of Australia with all our travelled tracks on it :)

Hi Michelle,

Love the concept, simple & to the point. I would definitely be interested in one. No matter which vehicle you choose, you will not please everyone. Will there be a choice of sizes available? There are quite a few different size wheels around these days, most popular 4X4’s come with either 16”, 17”, or 18” wheels. Then there are different tyre sizes for the same size wheel. Same goes for caravans & camper trailers. Then as Peter has pointed out, there are the “odd” size vehicles out there as well.

I think the ExplorOz word blends in too much, it needs to stick out a bit more, maybe different font or size (colour would be good but at what cost).

Needs some stars in the sky

Michelle,
Given the consensus about omitting c/vans and c/trailers, do you even need the vehicle? The one depicted implies a heavy duty 4WD but, as you know, we "explorers" use a great range of conveyances ranging from bicycles to horses, light AWDs, OKAs etc. Some even do it on foot. For that reason could the vehicle be replaced by just a person sitting at the fire?

I quite like Equinox's suggestion about adding some stars - logically the Southern Cross.

Overall, the concept is terrific - it is very thought-provoking and even has an implied message for the post-Corona Virus period.

I like the simple black and white concept. Like the fire, tent 50%- too simple? Vehicle,-to many variables.
My suggestions would be a camp scene with a fire and half a tent either looking down a rd disappearing into the distance ( symbolizing the need to explore further) or a starry night sky.

In line with the previous coloured design, I would prefer a stylised outline Map of Australia, with "I'm an ExplorOz Traveller" across the middle and the Website along the bottom as depicted.
Simple but meaningful.

No need for a vehicle, tent, or a campfire graphic.

How about a map of Australia with state borders with just lines where some of the major tracks are around the country, with I'm an ExploreOz traveller going across the Bight. That would tell every one what the site is about, black and white would stand out. Just another thought.

Love the design. Like the campfire and tent... that’s what we do. Camping/exploring.

Main thing: maybe make the vehicle less Jeep and more Troopy or at least muddy the waters a bit here, lest we upset the ubiquitous Ute owners.

I’ve never had.. and probably will never will have a Troopy but it seems better than a Jeep.

Why not have something as a tribute to !the early explorers, , After all they cut the tracks for all of us to follow!.



Cheers Axle.

Thanks for all the feedback! We will make some tweaks and get moving on the task asap.

Looks great! Does it come with a free stubby holder with same logo ?
