Just took a look at everyone's work and was wow'ed. Great Job.

We love the one that KingHippo did with the girl behind the letters.

We love the one that HooDooWitch did with the purple girl on sitting on the "B" with the rope.

Is there any possible way yall can incorporate those great ideas into our other brand as well.

This is the picture for that one.

HooDoo, Is there anyway you can make the girl black and keep her inside the circle. The logo will be going on a black race car and were afraid you couldn't see the purple body on a black car. Maybe you could highlight it somehow if you were to make it overlap the picture.

Here is the original for our drag race logo.

Thank you guys so much! Can't wait to bring back pics of the finished product!

Incredible man. Those look great. The one you cleaned up for Bandulu is money.


Could you do this one and "clean it up" as well? This should be my last request. We are trying to make a decision today on which one we like.

Thanks so much man. You and HooDoo and all the other guys have mad skills.



I owe you guys a beer!

Tim, I like it. Is there anyway you can incorporate into the picture I just posted in reply to KingHippo?

The logo will be going on a black car. We need it to be visible




This one might be easier to work with

That's a solid color PNG file without a background. So the color can be changed to anything without changing the image.

You need to think about how you are going to get this on car. If you are going to have it painted, then the final design will depend on the person painting, not the design.

If you are going to get a vinyl sticker printed, or print a stencil for painting, you really can't have gradients. Colors should be discreet. That is a logo which is better created as a vector.

We have a friend that has a shop to make the vinyl lettering. The orange circle will be the only thing going on the car. The black background with checkered flag is just for the website...

Since you are using vinyl, there are a few things to think about. Vinyle needs to be discreet colors. So if you want the orange circle, you can cut the black lettering out. But here is the issue, there will be a lot of small parts that will have to be applied carefully, like the inside of letters.

Now, if you don't put the circle, or put just the circle and the logo, it is a little easier. Still care must be taken as the lettering doesn't touch (which is why cursive is so popular for stickers).

For example:

I see what you mean. I was just thinking of maybe having the sticker printed out with everything on it and just placing the oval sticker to the car. Hm...Interesting

You can do that. Then you can have gradients. But vinyl is not the medium you want. It is a different type of sticker printing. You will have to talk with your friend to discuss his shop's capability.

There are sometimes quite a few aspects a design application that people might not initially consider. For a website or paper print, it doesn't really matter. But when we are talking about different printing types for something specific (shirts, stickers), there are additional design constraints.

I see, I see. This guy does a lot of work for the other people in the racing community, so he might be capable to pull something off. I am not sure though. I like the orange one you made though, and we might go with that. Is there anyway you can make the girl purple, keep her inside the circle of this picture but in relatively the same position? I want to bring him a few designs and see what he thinks.

Do you think If i edited the words to the right, it would give you more space to work with and make it easier?

I played with your images once I got home from work. I played with it in vectors to give it a sharper look. Vectors are still new to me so it was a good learning experience. I don't have the same fonts so I just picked some I had that were close. As for the best way to get them on to the car, Tim knows this stuff pretty well, and his images are probably the best for what your going to do. Either way you go, once you have them on the car, post pics of it for us to see the finished product.
