LOL, he's a bit good with the photoshop that Dave! I'm undecided on the rear window sticker now! I like it, but I don't know........ I think that one works best as a small logo on the dials, and the rear door side window sticker looks like a good plan..........

Like the small side window sticker.. the rear sticker looks a bit graffitti-ish.

Is that Aymats GLT in the second picture? Good job you didnt use the other side, you'd show us all his rusty door :P

Indeed, not a good plan to put one on the rear window...

How about for the website using the logo, but in 3D, like this

I could knock up one like that based on one of the 2D designs.

OK, I'll try it with Dekays large JPEG as a base :)

No, it's too expensive :(, I'm using Blender, it's free :) http://www.blender.org

Here's the logo

The V3M isn't very clear so I quickly tried adding in the #3 to see what it was like

In several parts I wan't sure if the corners wer ment to have flat parts or be smooth so...

What do you think?

Nice work.

I think it would look better in slightly lighter colors and a bit darker shadows to make the shapes more obvious just like the 21-3 logo.

The car should be quite angular, the text could be a bit more smooth.

I still prefer this one , all the other ones you would have to know what it says to know what it says ( if you know what I mean ,LOL ) anyone not involved with the forum would not be able to work it out. I would like this one with the gaps at top and bottom of the letters joined in as a side window sticker.

As I said before, I found it hard to tell from the jpeg which parts were bent to be smooth curves, and which jagged corners. Personally I think the jagged bits look a bit 'graffiti' like, and I prefer the smooth curves. Using a blueprint of a hatchback and Dekays design as a basis, I've modified it to a smooth design as shown here, and used lighter colours as suggested.

The design could be either be 'solid' or 'hollow'
Image
Image

Or even a combination. This has a hollow design in blue overlaid on the solid design in PaintShop Pro. I could even make solid characters as I attempted before.
Image

It can be shown at any kind of angle, can be any colour, have any texture, have any colour reflection, have any colour background and the lighting can be changed (spotlights etc), so if you have any preference, please say so...

Personally I'm much happier with these than my previous attempts, but what do you think, comments or suggestions please...

Your original ones have been replaced with the newer ones so my previous post is a little useless now. :mrgreen:

These ones look a lot better, in fact they look great!
I like the first one!

I know, I accedently overwrote the originals when I uploaded, but corrected now.

Thanks, I like the first as well ;)
