Okay okay

Big versions of the logo can be grabbed from
here in jpeg and photoshop format... I'll put an adobe illustrator file up as soon as I can get a copy of illustrator that doesn't crash my pc!

the local stickery place i know of uses illustrator, but they can use JPGs just as effectivle, provided the colours are well defined

as for the V3C, I can try and do a new design for you, but as aymat has said, i don't really want to just copy this one across, I think each should really have their own identity[/url]

The V3C website works great... the colors are horrible...

Indeed... the logo's should not look alike... but I think the board of the V3C does not even want to change logo's...

I would not mind a nice big V3C logo on my rear window...

Super job Dave! That fits the top round of the rev gauge numbering and markings so well due to the roofline of the 300. Looks very effective in black and white too.

How much will a 60-80cm wide one be?
If it's black on the inside to avoid nasty reflections I might be interested...

Nope, tis mine! I sprayed it up on a spare one (hence the hole for the clock adjustment dongle) just to see how it looked...I liked it so i whaked it in mine... 'twas inspired by yours tho! sm4

If people want me to get some made up, I'll price them up locally, then compare to mick's "contact"

by the wonders off modern technology the one in the "photo" is 40mm x 14mm

so if people want one, put your name below and I'll get some quantities priced up

anyone that wants them made significantly bigger can take the jpeg to any car graphics type place, they should be able to make one up for you...

Before the "production" starts, here are some thoughts:

- I've made some (subtile) changes to achieve the perfection for the logo sm70 : the rear wheel was too little compared to the front one:

The original version:

My version:

- someone knows how to convert it to a nice vectorial image with no pixels at all?

Thanks for your update... sm4

That is just... perfect now!

I'll use that logo on each picture for the "new" website... And of course the copyrights for the logo stay yours :wink:
