Fat bottles anyone?

There have been several bottles with Fat Chance graphics over the years. Neon yellow, pink and white. I would really like to have some reproductions made, but really don't know where to start. Maybe we could have a batch printed somewhere.
First I would like to know if anyone knows a place in Europe or the UK to where this can be done. Secondly and most important, we need some example of the graphics used. If anyone could post examples it would be much appreciated and we can see where this will lead us.

I had a clear one (cloudy, natural plastic color - not white). Will have to look in the bins to see if it's still around. Will post if I have it.

I have a clear one. I'll post it this weekend. I'm also interested in some reproductions.

OK, thanks for the replies! I am looking forward to seeing those graphics. By the way, is there a way to copy the graphics from a bottle onto a flat surface?

This would be very easy to redo in illustrator.

Cool anyone with the experience in illustrator to merge the se pictures into a (vector) file? It needs to be 100mm x 235,5mm. Than I can get things started!

i can get to it ina week unless someone else can do it quicker~

Might even be cool to just wrap velum around the bottle get a nice fat marker to match the line and redraw it then scan it so u get the tru rough hand drawn line that is evident in the art

A week would be just fine.... In the meantime I have contacted the printers. My question would be:
1. 500ml or 750ml bottles?
2. white, clear or yellow?

My suggestion would be to make white 500ml bottles as they will match practically any bike.

I would go 500 clear....It will match everything, and I think you will be able to get better choices in bottle stock....

Also, I second the wrap it in Velum concept mentioned above, only because it would be guess work trying to get the hand drawn lines to match perfectly - based on a photo shot in 3D space.

Question: are we trying to match old exactly?

or should you consider creating something new - with a new interp on a well known graphic style, using the same type of messages and imagery found in the sales collateral?

something to think about...perhaps.

Either way I am in for 6 if you get em made....

thanks for doing this, and if your other artist gets tied up - i can help too....

I'd certainly buy some.

500ml is fine. And I think clear or clear yellow is nice---helps us remember to clean our bottles~! (that said, I'd take a few in whatever color)
