I've been looking and it seams like there is somewhat a demand for a crest in vector you can use for vinyl banners etc..

This one is not even 40% finished, but I wanted to put it up anyways.. If there is enough interest I will make it 100% finished. (I'm not sure if you want the circles inside the red and inner gold part and amount of gold finish etc etc etc..) let me know what YOU would like to have and I can make it happen
To make it clear.. Vector means that one can make this crest 1000 feet by 1000 feet and it will still look good (not pixelated).. A designer would probably charge you 1-300 for doing a (good) logo.

I can't give back much when it comes to helping with the cars but I do can help here..

Let me know what ya think

Looks good. And I suppose that someone will find it handy. Is this for everyone to use?

***Yeah, dude. No problem

club members of course.. I know lots of you guys have race car trailers and such (like Brad asked about) So i figured that I can spend a couple of hours making one since I get so much help from you guys with my car..

But post your interest so I can see if there is any interest at all..

I can use a vector image on my laser marking machine to make plaques etc. If you send me the file, I will make you an anodized metal plaque for free.

DO IT...DO IT...DO IT...

My trailer is begging for it.

I'm not really sure what that is but sounds nice..

I will work on it, and if you PM me I can customize it for your needs. (your name, race number etc etc etc)

That's pretty cool. Wish I knew how to use Illustrator better. Maybe we can get a group buy to have them printed on vinyl?

A badge with race numbers would be pretty cool and I would definetly be down for that.

I am reluctant to post this, as what you are doing is cool and I don't want to take the wind from your sails.

But the official Porsche logo is allready available for free in vector format.

http://www.webchantier.com/
Go there, select English language version of thier site, go to the Logos, and search for Porsche. Youy will find vectors of the crest in color and B/W, the "PORSCHE" script as well as the scripts for various porsche cars (914 is excluded - oh well).

I tried posting the direct link, but it just loads the main page.

They also have logos for many many more companies. I use them for making skins for the cars in GTL.

No need for a group buy.. Your local Kinkos (cheap) or any print shop can make the vinyl banner for you.

All you need is a copy of the vector file, and I will email that to you once its done. Which means that you can use it over and over again for div applications.

(if you got race numbers email them to me (or a picture is fine) and I can make them "fit")

I'm not selling anything..

I didnt know about that site.. I searched everywhere and couldn't find it.. ok, those logos are fine. Maybe not the best looking one. If you want to go with them thats fine. I'm offering something more here.. Since they will have a somewhat original look to them (with the shine) there is one more out there but not in vector..

thanks though

Thank you. That was what I thought when I saw what was out there.. IF I had a race car trailer I would want something that stands out and looks good.. But its all up to you guys! I simply provide on your request.



thanks

Posted by: iamchappy Mar 30 2006, 01:35 PM

is it vector?

This is what the gold one will look like once 100% done

what did you use to make it?

Posted by: Rand Mar 30 2006, 03:27 PM

It will be interesting to see how the bumps look in a vector format. Getting the raised and shadowed look might be tough. I think I would rather have one without.

have faith brother Its not difficult just time consuming.. Look at the silver crest above. It will look similar to that one


(do you want PORSCHE in black as the image you posted??)

and I will be offering both, so you can choose

Posted by: Rand Mar 30 2006, 03:34 PM

Cool.

I think I would prefer the black inlay in the lettering.

As you wish (that goes for all of you)

What do you think about putting 914 in the Porsche font in place of Stuttgart? Maybe shrink the horse just a little to make room?

Don't mean to be asking for more work, just chewing on it.

Posted by: Sideways Mar 30 2006, 03:43 PM

I'm in, great work...

that change will take 1 min...

Just let me get happy with the crest itself then the sky is the limit on what can be changed.. If you want your name somewhere in there, no prob..

Its all about finishing the main part, then the fun begins! I'm thinking this weekend, depends on when I'm picking up my car
