Club Decals??

Could you make it a bit bigger, or less is just little . Looks no nonsense though. Anybody else got a design? I think we should stay away from actually copying the Ford oval logo though. BTW Luke, I had trouble with bmp files stored to photobucket, they didn't come out, is it because they were bmp or something else? This was back when I was trying to post some of Phil's pics.

[FredTransit]

I had a bit of a play with cafepress, and uploaded a couple of my rough logos, just to see what they would like on merchandise. As we haven't decided on the logo yet, the logos can be changed in a minute, so this is only to get an idea!

Take a look Here and tell me what you think! Once the pics are uploaded, you could personalise anything, Mark check out the calendar.

Nah, can't say why, but somehow to me it doesn't quite look "right".

[FredTransit]

How do you mean exactly? The lettering, the size of it, or the quality? Mine or Luke's? Bear in mind mine's a bit of a fuzzy design, as I only did it in photosuite.

[Luke]

Yeah its a .bmp file i did it in paint!!! thats why it wont image onto the site!!! dont know why!!!!

I wouldnt worry about copyrights fred!! ford dont have a patent on the shape of oval or the colour of blue!!!!

In paint if you go to "save as" and save it as a JPEG instead you shouldn't have a problem.

[Luke]

Thanks Mate!!! Well here it is!!! what do you think?

Yeah, agreed, that's what I meant, use the basic shape and colours, but not the actual Ford logo intact (as I understood Phil meant). On the other hand, I think it should look something like the Ford logo, otherwise it's just a generic oval lable.

i'll have a go!!

I think it's got to look modern yet retro!!! and also be easy to read from a distance - as thats the idea of the web address!!
Fred - what software are you using - im using paint

MGI photoSuite4, a bit basic, but came with the computer. Cos if you use paint it gets all over the screen..................

Ok i was origanaly gonna have the web address on top of the text but you couldn't read it!! so i put it underneith!!! but im not sure

[Luke]

comments????

I like that, but it may be difficult to read at a distance. Even if the Forum name isn't clear, the web address is very important.

[Luke]

Perhaps - i dont have the skill , but if we could "ghost" the van more and use a more outlined font!!! then what do you think!!!
Mabe have 4 different logos for each transit style!!!

[FredTransit]

Having another attempt -



I have uploaded the van/oval without the text, if you want to try another fornt. I am not convinced that the background is the way to go, as it makes the text harder to read. That's why I have put the URL underneath.
