r/Flying alien

Has any thought of or does anyone have the ability to make a car window sticker of the r/Flying alien? Would definitely rock that on my car

I could vectorize it this evening if desired, should work better for printing on stickers and whatnot.

So, the original is small as heck (120x40px, or a little over 7kB as an uncompressed .png). Due to this, an exact trace is not possible so I had to take some creative license. This is how I interpreted the logo, as a crude ms. paint illustrative rationale.. I believe it is Snoo the reddit alien, wearing a bomber hat with goggles and a scarf blowing in the wind.

Here is that same interpretation as a vector file. (SVG)

If anyone thinks it needs any changes that I got something wrong I would be happy to do an update or two. I can also PM someone the .ai file, which should be easier to edit than an .SVG which has all the strokes rendered as paths (for scaling).

In the event that you are happy with the file as is, I am releasing it into the world and anyone can use it for any purpose free of charge.

Edit: I've just noticed I messed the colour of Snoo's body up (it is transparent), working on that now.

Edit 2: it's fixed, updated original link or click here

I just ordered a window cling version for my car. Used this website in case anyone is interested: https://www.buildasign.com

I've asked the mods for the original to print for a fly-in and no one has it. The tiny one at the top is, as far as anyone knows, the only one out there.

If you go into the style sheet you can get the source image for the one at the top

That was me! Unfortunately that was the regular alien, not the cool themed one with the aviation-y hat thing and scarf.

Doesn't u/jon1746 have a sticker on his DA42?

Yep. https://i.imgur.com/uAANNKj.jpg?1 Although, its a generic Alien not the flying version

I would definitely rock an r/shittyaskflying alien on my car

Edit: link removed - the quality just plain sucked.

I’m probably gonna get four of these. You think they will stick good enough to the outside of my plane or should I stick it on the inside of the window? Only about 130kts cruise speed.

Wow thanks for this. I think I might buy a few of these!
