Don't mind at all, in fact I was going to say, if any of you have some design/graphics skills please have at it. Like I said this isn't realy my line of work so I do it for fun, if someone comes up with a better design I will surely go for it.

I'd like that edit/sig on a shirt and hoodie too. I don't know any personal shirt printer but I did run across a shirt artist (from Fremont) when she visited my kid's school during art/crafts day. I gave her an idea and to make a die is ~100. Something along the lines of an outlined twin blah blah...the more complicated the design/die the closer to ~100 it will cost. And I can just order the apparel from her (Fremont). I think design #3 does that, for me.

I can do that for ya. So yeah I do believe a shirt or hoodie design will be ok with a more complex pattern. Again no real experience with vinyl designs but I can probably make a simplified design that would work. But yeah I'm interested to see what ideas/designs some of you others will come up with.

Nice! Thanks!!

ok so further developing design #3 here...

original:




inverted:




color version, anyone?



feel free to take these and use as your sigs or desktops or whatever.

I think that inverted version could work for vinyl with some simplification. Probably could pull it off by getting rid of the finer lines and just the more defined ones, like the outlines of the front grill etc. (although that would make the logos hard to see and having both the FR-S and GT86 there a moot point).

I like the color version too (I see what u did there )

[PMok]

here's a further revision of design #2.



maybe needs something else in the right side of the dial now... maybe a steering wheel, or the VSC SPORT light, or... ???

yeah you can tell it was a quiet afternoon at the office.

allright, tweaked design #2 a little more, now looks more balanced.

Nice! That looks really good. Only major complaint is the font used for "Norcal 86 Drive".

My coworker said he should have the design mocked up this weekend, curious to see what he comes up with.

Cool, looking forward to seeing his ideas too! I hear you on the font, it is a little boring. I didn't want to get too cutesy with it but you're right, something a little more snazzy could look good and I don't have that many great fonts. Perhaps something kind of military or industrial looking, or futuristic. or retro 80s kind of thing.

Nice P! I like it. Since we got rid of banner and had the latin stuff wrap around, why not have the "Norcal 86 Drive" wrap around the logo too?

Yeah man, keep us posted! No offense Pmok's beautiful work, but I'm curious to see what a pro could come up with.

Ooooh, fonts! now we're talking! (I'm a huge fan)

I really like the Porsche font



But if we're talking about something more modern, how bout this one
