This is going better than I hoped!

I think we're all agreed - Nimminz wins - white lettering on blue background.

I'll do some rooting about for a good price - I think I'll go for eyelets and pole pockets.
I'll find out what format "they" need the design in and let you know Matt - If you're
agreeable you can then e-mail me the design.
(I particularly love the bladdered V3M !!).

Ah! This explains the activity on this thread then, I was wondering! :lol:

Will have to go back and read the previous pages, my initial opinion though (colour and style aside) is lose the exclamation pointshift1

Cheers! glad you all like it and glad i can contribute to the event, I'm really looking forward to it :)

I do like macplaxton's with the other font for the web address, I'll have another play :)

I made it in Adobe Illustrator, It's the industry standard really and can be exported into anything really, just let me know and I'll email it :)

Definately want a pic of my car next to it like :D

I DID make a logo a while ago...

didn't think of the logo when designing the banners, but think it might look a tad complicated with that on, the car image - dunno if i like it lol

Nice work! Do you have an EPS you could email of the logo on the back of your car? I'm gonna mock up a new website design at some point when I get some free time and think it'd work nicely. Basically I thought, do a design, build it then show Aymat and convince him it needs updating :lol:

Cracking stuff mate. Need to lose the capital 'F' in the word forum though. Also maybe you could add ONLY after 'the'. (jk) :lol:

Matt,
I have spoken with a likely "banner shop"

They would ideally need print ready artwork @25% scale 913.5mm X 152.2mm
minimum of 300dpi
in jpeg or hi res pdf.

no idea what file size would be but I assume it's e-mailable ??

If chaps, we can finalise the design and Nimminz can work his magic and send me
the design file I will go ahead and order the banner.

Pretty sure a 300dpi PDF would be emailable

When it's been decided which to use I'll send it over :)
