Just been looking at them all - I find it really interesting seeing how creative people are.

1. 35 Stands out - and funky
2. 26 I'm a child of the eighties - prefer the 'racing' font as normal oddly
3. 9 Would look good on a wesbite, but as Lucky says, not quite 'bold' enough for a race car - but still has an 'edge' on it

I wish i'd gone into design, accountancy is so boring, and i've only got MS Paint to play with myself

Yeah - amazing site isn't it?

Penstudio's Martiniesque design #32/33/34 and the #35 are my faves. I asked the designer to take the 'lick' of flames to go behind the upright of the 'K' for more clarity but he has also introduced an tail to the 'Y' which I'm not keen on. I also want the cut back in the top of the P and make the hole in the p 3D again.

Which combination do you like of both Penstudio's and Labsign's?

Pete

I don't really know how much you can ask of these guys - but I s'pose it's my cash - so I is the boss!!!

Dont knock MS paint. It made my idea which is clearly still the best one.

It also bought you other amazing artwork like the 7 legged spider email.

Linky please

Totally unreasonable that they wouldn't accept the spider as payment. I would have thought it was worth at least $250 on 99designs!!!

1. 55 is my favorite so far, although I liked the original idea of linking dice into the logo, what about a pair of dice at the lower left or right side?

Can I race with my set if fluffy dice instead?

Unlike photo reproduction I suppose it depends on the image size really (stitches per inch and all that), I recently did some work for a guy who owns an embroidery company that was commissioned to do the WBC title heavyweight boxing belt for Muhammad Ali, he might be the person to speak with if you need to know the limitations. I can PM you his details if you're interested.

Thanks Steve. I'll have a bash with the same co. that did the Tees first and then may call on your offer of a contact.

Cheers

Pete

#49 is a nice interpretation.

Bear in mind the cost of replicating it too. Cheaper to stick with one or two colours. Running gradients etc (especially on vinyl) will require two processes (print, then cut).

Shouldn't this be in motorsports or general gassing...?

Sorry stig - i know it should be else where but the don't know how hard I'm pushing my tongue into my cheek - they might take me seriously!!!!

A couple more hours then we can award the winner.

Going to find some moules frites and 500ml of Leffe - back later.

Am I too late?

Mate these look superb!!

That chap looks alot like me!! Who is it?

I have to award the winner off 99designs.com in the next few days - but I also promised a shirt (for what it's worth) to the best one one here.

Anyone disagree with Jack's being given the prize???

Pete

Winner selected from www.99designs.com

Thanks to dirty boy who suggested this site. Dunno why anyone would pay an agency!!!



Bored now...what next?

[LuckyP]

Jack Blag said:

Glad you like it!

Assuming you want the logo, email me so that I can send you the file back as an attachment.

I'm a medium by the way

Ha!!! Oh yes please - I'll keep it as a spare logo just incase I need to go...err....undercover!!!

I'll mail you back.

Congrats - Pete.

Jack Blag said:

So Lucky P... who do you decide as the winner?

Labsign's design will go on the gear and the car - but you win a Pit-Lane shirt for your effort!!!

Thanks again - looks good!

[LuckyP]

Final design:











First race next Sunday..... Pooping my Lucky pants!!

[LuckyP]

Your sticker pack and team uniform will be there ready for collection.

If we get your car done during the day, can you be no 2 mechanic? Need to bring your own tools though. A 5lb 'pursuader' should be all you need!!

Not enough orange on my car - but I guess as soon as we get door to door, that will all change!!

Hi P, I should be along too, early afternoon, with a video camera, and my usual Ultima sized tool kit! So if you don't go for some reason, lets us know. By the way what category is your car in MR2 something?

Cheers
Phil.

Hi Phil,

It's in the 750MC MR2 Championship Class B.

Scutineering Sunday 15th March 9am
Practice 10.10-10.25

Great to see you.

Stig said:

Good luck Pete. My advice for your first race (for what it's worth!) would be as folows:

1. Get signed on ASAP - you'll need to get your lid 'stickered' too so leave plently of time for this.
2. Get scrutineered ASAP too. As it's the first outing in the car (I believe?), something might need sorting - take some tape/cable ties/tools with you to the bay. Get to the front of the queue
3. Listen closely to the tannoy announcements to be sure you get into the assembly area for practice/qualifying asap (pref. first.). No substitute for tracktime!
4. Find a groove that works for you with someone who's setting similar times - build on it from there.
5. Win

The 750MC is a good/friendly club to be starting out with - best of luck to you chap.

All the above duly noted

Still not sure what to do when I approach a corner 3 abreast - but I guess I just keep my foot in and ride it out!!!!!

If you don't the other two will.

Steve

Of that I'm sure.

Just started pre-season training. 1/2 hour gym induction and now enjoying a beer and a smoke.

[LuckyP]

Snetterton first. Any tips?

Good point. you raise about pitching up early and getting the car through just incase there are any 'issues' that need addressing.

[LuckyP]

Thanks Stig.

I apreciate it's a little (alot) off topic, but if you allow, I'll post what video I get after the weekend. Might only be a few seconds worth!!!
