Oliver Decals

🤣 Go figure! I just entered a service ticket asking for a new Oliver logo, decal or artwork, for front of the upper hull. Answer was OTT had neither! And he wanted me to accept that answer, as if Oliver manufacturing could add the logo without having either! 

 

Strange... I was able to buy a full set of decals a couple of years ago.

You would think and they certainly should be available! I'm wanting to get the exterior of our hull looking good again! I guess I can add custom artwork like many have done but I like to restore vehicles back to factory stock condition.

I was told exactly this: "The graphics are not available. A sign shop or graphic shop should be able to take a photo and recreate the graphics; I do not have a file that I can send you."

I questioned this answer, to no avail. So I'm supposed to take a picture of my 10-year-old faded graphic, missing sections have peeled off, and somehow create new artwork!

If anybody has Oliver artwork files for the front logo and rear-side label "Oliver Legacy Elite II" I would greatly appreciate it.

In response to another Elite II owner's request for graphics files for the "old" side decals I happened to be with Matt Duncan when we went on a search for these files.

Matt thought that he knew exactly where they were housed - both on the original computer main hard drive and the USB memory stick backup of that hard drive.  Unfortunately, BOTH of the file folders for both the USB and hard drive had been erased and replaced by other files.  We tried to re-constitute these deleted files without success (after about two hours of trying).  Given the nature of the files that replaced the original graphics files, it would appear to me that a somewhat inexperienced employee had done the deed.  And, since the "marketing/advertising/video production/rally organizing/printing/etc." department for the travel trailers basically has no full time employees (at this point) there simply wasn't anyone there to watch the "store" or computers or files.  Yes, it would be nice to think that files of this and other natures would be housed securely, but, its not exactly easy to get into the area where these files were located.

Now, having said all this - I would think that the artwork for the "nose" and "tail" just might still be around.  As I recall, during our search for the "side" decals there was/is still a file or two with the "Oliver Elite II" artwork for the various different font types that have been over the years. I will ask and see if they can be found and report back here.  This might take a bit of time, so, please be patient.

 

EDIT:  Any additional information that I obtain will be posted under a new thread such that we don't hijack this thread any longer on this topic.

p.s.  Basically during the search for these side decals and for the hull number plaques is how we discovered that the side decals files had been lost.  Also, there were/are only a handful of people that were familiar with all the things that went on in Matt's old department.  So, its not surprising (at least to me) that information about these types of things would be somewhat limited.

Yep -

these used to be produced "in house" on a really neat machine.  In fact, there is still some unused material that was used in the loft above the Sales area.  I wouldn't be surprised that if someone were to make Oliver an offer for this material they would be more than happy to get rid of it (suggest sending Jason Essary a note if your interested).  When the decision was made to stop producing the side decals (basically at the suggestion of current owners) much of the materials used were not replaced and the few people that knew how to use that fancy machine went on to other things.  Since I've not actually seen the machine is a couple of years, I'm not sure that it still there.

Just want to clarify, when I said I got a "full set" I was only talking about the front Oliver logo and the side "Oliver Legacy Elite II" decals. I had already removed my side stripes and I like the look better without them. 

[jd1923]

I only asked re the front logo, but both would be nice! Striping can be anything or going without works.

Are new Olivers delivered without the front Oliver logo? I did notice looking at the Texas Rally pics that 5-6 hulls had no front logo. The big round white front looks bare without one!

There are pics of the new models on the Oliver FB page and the ones I saw do have the front Oliver logo. Can tell they're the new models since they have the new tilt out windows.

You're not alone and (as I mentioned) this was one of the reasons that Oliver stopped supplying them.  Other reasons were that the side stripes were difficult to apply properly (and the lady that did that job moved on to other things) and, of course, it saves material costs in both producing them and applying them.

At this point I do not know if these are still produced in house or are sourced externally.  But, (hopefully) I'll have more answers to all of these questions soon.

My 2020 wasn’t ordered totally naked, I did opt for the rear-side label and hull number in a very subtle metallic silver for an additional $25 charge; at the time all decals were standard.

I actually ordered Twist WITHOUT the nose logo.  My reasoning was that this area is a target for bugs.  Since gelcoat is easier to clean than a decal, I just figured that it would save me a bunch of time and trouble over the years I planned to keep my Ollie.  So far, I still feel that I was correct.

Initially I ordered mine also without the side label.  But, Anita talked me out of that and I'm glad she did.  Her reasoning was that if there was something on the Oliver that told people what it was, the number of times I would be "bothered" in a campground or out on the road would be dramatically reduced.  I think that she was correct - as she is with most things. 😁

Right that! I opted for the skimpy two-piece so as not to be totally naked and unnecessarily “bothered”!

I get it for sure. Take a look at our "nose logo." There's a small section of the decal missing bottom-right that came off with my pressure washer. I don't get too close to the logo anymore when washing. 🤣

My side stripes are in like new condition, whether you like them or not. Given the two-tone color of my truck with gray lower sections, I like that the graphics on our Oliver are in gray & black. The logo and striping complement the colors of our truck.

So perhaps our future is in getting a new proper front logo in gray & black, or perhaps I strip it off and shine up a big naked nose front of our hull?

Thanks Bill @topgun2 for looking into this! 😂

@jd1923- Looks like you have the old style "Legacy Elite" graphic like mine had. To keep things original, I tried to get that one when I ordered my decals but they said that they were  no longer available. Kind of glad they weren't since the newer style is much nicer, IMHO...

Yes, it is. I like them both!
Did you apply the new front logo too? If so, please share picture. Thanks

Yes, I applied a new front logo too. If I can't find a pic I'll take one tomorrow. There's been a change of plan and it looks like I be able to install my new Turbro unit a little early!

Sure - but you look sooooo good in that "skimpy two-piece!

I forgot about those marker lights on the nose.  Does that make it more "balanced with the rear "Oliver third brake light"? 🤪

Nice @CRM, the markers are cool, one of a kind!

Your new logo looks like a reverse pattern of our original, with the gray and black switched. The black (or blue) looks to match the rear label. Is it black or midnight blue? Chris says I'm color-blind. 😎

Those marker lights are one of the reasons I was able to buy Hull 45. Someone had put a deposit down on it ahead of me but they pulled out quick after a few people commented on the FB ad that it wasn't a real Oliver due to those lights and other features. I contacted Oliver with the VIN and they confirmed it was genuine. Got lucky!

[mountainoliver]

I may be wrong but, at some point someone’s brother in law or cousin had a graphic design shop in town and were the ones making the vinyl decals for Oliver. They very well may still have the original design programs. If you google vinyl decal companies in Hohenwald you might come up with something. Contact them and ask. Couldn’t hurt.

No graphics are currently included on a new build. This is in response to many of the latest buyers requesting the trailers be delivered naked. So there you go.
