In this guide, I’m going to show you how to create fun and funny bumper sticker designs. I have plenty of ideas already, and I can’t wait to share them with you!

These are the three sections we will cover:

Method
Madness
Ideas

Let’s get started!

Method

The best way to begin your custom bumper sticker design process is just to think of stuff that you like. Sports, animals, snacks, etc. Determine a political or social cause that you have a heart for. Once you have your theme pegged down, it’s time to come up with some colors and graphics ideas.

You know what you want to say, the next thing to do is to figure out how to say it.

Madness

Two yellow happy faces with hypnotic swirly eyes. One is smiling and one has a shocked expresion.

You haven’t actually gone mad, but there is a fine line between madness and genius — in art and other things. So, it’s perfectly acceptable to toe the line. Create the high quality sticker beast that you want.

Bumper stickers are the unique space to say exactly what you want at highway speeds as well as surreptitiously — in a parking lot. Outside of a rare violent road rage incident, promoting your causes generally won’t result in much more trouble than a keyed car.

They’re also scratch and water-resistant! Shrug. So let your creative hounds loose and see what they do!

Fun Bumper Sticker Ideas

Take note of these ideas, “borrow” or create your own custom variation.

Car sticker on a Bentley (or of a Bentley)

White Bentley sedan with a black and white bumper sticker that says Honey, Would You Put a Bumper Sticker on a Bentley? License plats reads B Is For Bentley.

But uh, you’d need a Bentley and they’re fairly uncommon even among the rich and famous. But what you could do is make a bumper sticker that looks like a Bentley! It is ironic.

Inside Jokes

ink horse trailer with bay, and gray horses inside. Their bridled heads are near the back window. Bumper sticker has two horses neighing and the text reads It's An Inside Joke.

This works best in a small town, and / or on hand-me-down teenager vehicles. It’s still fun though to feel connected driving around after or before school. Some advice though? Keep it classy, keep it clean.
