Tailgating Bus Design

I thought this may be a fun project for some of you experts to play with and since I have no photoshop skill whatsoever I was hoping for some inspirational ideas for a potential paint scheme.

The bus will be for tailgating to Cincinnati Bengal games. I know....Bengals????? Yes, Bengals.

Maybe this is too much to ask, but I have no software and no knowhow.

I bought a bus to turn into a tailgating vehicle for myself and a group of people that I go to the game with each week. I am trying to figure out a paint scheme and my limited imagination and computer skills are getting in the way of that. So if some of you experts would be so kind to take a bit of time a come up with a good looking paint scheme I would greatly appreciate it.

The bus will be painted Orange, White, and Black with the roof being all white and the black kept to a minimum(mostly the graphics). Not sure sure where or how to lay out the lines... I have a number of different graphics that I can have cut from vinyl and we have a few forum members that could do that for me.

So if you are up to the task and can lend your skill and imagination to me I will forever be indebted to you. Feel free to place any combination of the graphics on the bus wherever you see fit.

Below you will find a link to some pictures of the bus and some graphics that I have collected recently. Also pictured is our old '76 Southwind that served us so well for so many years, but it is finally time to say goodbye to the old beast and send it off to the junkyard.

Here are some concepts I came up with. Hope you like them! I really like the idea of having the tiger stripes all over the bus.

Thanks for the ideas...

Since I am painting this thing myself, I came up with a fairly simple design to start.

Before the bus gets any graphics, it will look like this(don't laugh I did this in "Paint"):

Any more ideas? Anybody?
