    Hi All

    Just knocked this up for a client, it’s a bit basic but you get what you pay for. So would appriciate your views…..

    Also the customer would like to change the car to a stretched limo, but i can’t find one with a 2d prospective, can anyone help?????

    All the best.

    Dan

    Yup I think you need to change the limo,
    as mostly what we have here are stretches.
    (and a few Hummers!)
    I also think that you need a “ballsier” Yank-looking font
    like Crillee or Chaney (Chainlink)
    Or even a “gangster” Bonnie & Clyde style Art Deco font.
    But I do like the design.
    Love….Jill

    Thanks to Steve for the limo.

    Also thanks Jill for your imput.

    With Jill’s coments I’ve played around a bit, moving the limo around more than anything.

    So here’s the competition, which one is the client going to run with?

    There are still tel numbers to be added, but his waiting for the phone to be installed.

    I like #3 the best, but watch your kerning & distortion.
    And keep the red! Ditch the green.

    Back again, I don’t mean to be a pain.
    Here is my take.
    I went to http://www.letterheadfonts.com
    and downloaded the free font Bell Boy.
    It has an Art Deco feel.
    Changed the copy to black to balance out the limo.
    One thing, dunno if it matters, but it is considered
    bad etiquette to “mirror image” the flag.
    Love….Jill

    I like Jill’s version with the bolder font. Love the flags! 😀

    If there’s room to nudge the price up a little bit (as this would mean extra work) an idea maybe to infill the word ‘American’ with the American flag, then outline it in black. Just an idea 😀

    Cheers, Dewi

    Dan how about a drop shadow behind the car???

    It looks MUCH better….
    But OH PLEASE lose that distorted
    Copperplate Gothic….it is too severe a font.
    Do like Big G and use a nice script,
    NOT Brush Script, maybe Brody (Brophie)
    I know I sound bossy but I’m a woman.
    You’ll be glad that you listened.
    I do like the secondary copy in 2 lines,
    I almost did that myself.
    Love….Jill

    :nagnag:
    …no need for an outline Dan.
    On the Mike’s I mean.
    I do like the shading around it.
    I’d maybe even make it just a tad bigger.
    Stevo hollers at me whenever I use red and black together.
    He says that they have the same color value.
    Love….Jill 😉
