Too bad I didn't have Pete sign it -- it's a work of art!

I was a complete copy-cat and I duplicated Pete's work as best I could. I love it, thanks for the idea Pete. Here's the one I built in my garage. It hangs over the auxiliary 100A panel I brought in for the various charging systems.

I am curious how you guys managed to print on an A10 paper? Did you use fedex kinkos or some such service?

Actually what I did was use a projector to project the outline of the Tesla logo onto a sheet of MDF and then I traced it and cut it out with a jigsaw.

Just repeating what I mentioned in a PM to Raghu for everyone's benefit:

At my office there's an ancient HP plotter that's been around, I think, since the 80's. It's way old, for sure, and not easy to make print, given there's no up to date drivers. Anyway, eventually I managed to convince it to print the logo at a decent size.

If I was going to have someone do it for me here, I'd probably go to Fastsigns or somewhere like that, but any large-scale sign or print shop should be able to do it.

You can do a projector straight on a wall too!

Then cut out some letters...

And voila!

You guys are crazy.... crazy awesome!!!

I would like to see P85D logo in the correct font

Have done IP work for $$$. Is there other trademark stuff you guys are looking for?

Most patent and trademark stuff, through normal procedure, eventually becomes publicly available. My much earlier post just grabbed the tiny images from trademark searching, but for this I looked in the prosecution history (which shows all docs traded back & forth with USPTO) to get the best pics there.

Everyone's work/art looks awesome. Does anyone know the exact color for the Tesla red? Or are people just eyeballing it? I want to paint a wall in the garage later this year as we get ready for the model x.

The paint code is Benjamin Moore 550X Pearl Base - Neon Red (Someone else that did their garage posted this, so he gets credit).

Just reviving this (almost 7 year old) thread.
The Tesla logo evolved since.
Let's see your wall.

Nice use of magnets!

Quite a few things have evolved in the past 5+ years, for a start we moved, so no longer have the garage. I did take the T down, just not had a chance to put it back up. Currently building a new 'garage' (more of a workshop/design studio/Roadster/Cybertruck home), so that'll have some stuff going on ;-)
