Take a look at the first version of the CTC logo I have in my signature, and feel free to PM or EMAIL me any criticism (constructive preferably ), and we can tweak it until it is approved by all.

Shawn It looks great... The only suggestions I would have would maybe for it to be a little taller. That might allow you room to get a outline of the coupe and roadster on it, possibly one on each side of the Texas outline. As far as color goes maybe on the CTC on the bottom, Thanks for your time and effort in designing this I definitely think you are on to something. Good luck on the hunt for the SRT6.

Here it is in its standard height, with some color added...

I was trying to keep it fairly simple, mainly for vinyl/decal/shirt reasons. It's much easier if you don't have to do full color (and much less expensive).

I will toy with adding the crossfire outline later on.

 

Here's another version, with a few very subtle 'outlined' crossfires on the sides. I can brighten them up if needed, and change the coloring.

I actually outlined a crossfire, digitally...MAN was that tough! I have a fairly large file (640x480) of the outlined car if anyone needs it.

I could also change the center 'X' to the actual XFi logo if I am allowed to do so by the owner/creator - anyone know who made the original decals?

 

Hi Shawn, The top part looks great!. The CTC on the bottom looks a little off, Like it's been squashed. (maybe it's just me) Can you make the CTC a little taller ? I saw the one with the cars but I prefer this one myself. Thanks for all your hard work.

 

Roy,

I can definitely make it taller (and it was originally).

The problem I have with making the image too tall is the fact that 90% of its usage will be on forums like this (I assume). If you use too tall of an image, you end up taking up a lot of space, looking rather bulky, and it can get annoying to have too many people with large signatures, etc.

For T-Shirts, taller would definitely work. But what about vinyl decals? No one would want a decal that is overly-bulky. They'll want something slim and trim, but still able to get the message across (IMHO).

My point is this - different uses require different designs. The 'basic' design of the outline of texas, with the wording, WITHOUT the CTC looks best, and most professional IMHO.

Add the CTC (taller) and the Crossfire Silhouettes, and you end up with a pretty rowdy looking design for the back of a t-shirt.

The black/white image would make a great vinyl decal for a rear-window or under the spoiler. It is one or two colors, which will allow you to cut it out of vinyl in lieu of printing on-top of vinyl (this gets expensive).

So, what use is this 'logo' going to see? I guess that would help me when designing.

And, I am not against several different variations of the same logo - so keep on making the suggestions! I can make one for shirts, change it a bit for the forum usage, and then again for decals, etc.

Main thing is to keep the same general design so that it is recognizable in all of its uses.

Hey Shawn,

Is it ok if I borrow (steal ) you CTC logo for my sig ?
If you don't want me to use it just say so. I think it looks really. Let me know.

 

Feel free my friend...!
